In Romania, many individuals earn over 10,000 lei monthly without a university degree, particularly in technical and freelance fields. Despite high earnings in areas like video production and marketing, Romania ranks last in the EU for young adults with higher education. Statistics show only 23.1% of Romanians aged 25-34 had a degree in 2025, far below the EU average. Technical jobs, such as electricians and crane operators, are increasingly in demand, yet hard to fill. While high salaries exist, the lack of a degree can lead to job insecurity. Data indicates that university graduates have better employment rates, highlighting the ongoing value of higher education in securing stable jobs.
