First Person Not to go to University

A few years ago it was quite common for people to say "I was the first to go to University from my family". This was before the days of mass higher education expansion, and could have been considered an achievement.

But now university places are much more available, the cost of the education is now much more on the shoulders of the poor student. So I am wondering if we may now see a generation, some of whom will be proud to say "I was the first not to go to university" meaning that they had found some other direction and avoidance of a ridiculous amount of tuition debt.
