The full menu — not just the famous options

After matric there are fifteen ways forward.

School hands you two suggestions: university or nothing. The truth is a menu — five families, fifteen real routes, each with its own gate, its own clock, and its own money. Open any of them for the year-by-year climb, the going rates, and the real talk nobody puts on the poster.
