Everyones Special + College = Success + Government gives you "free" guranteed loans just leads to degree inflation. So you need a degree to do anything. |
i also meant college or the whole system which is absolutely different. as example we don't have something like highschool here. we have 4 different systems kids can go to if they are between ~10-18. you go to highschool with which age? 14 or so? and then you can go to college. we go then depending which age we left the school and on which school system we were to what i was talking about with working in a company for three years or to a universtity or to a "college" which is something different to what you call college. pretty complicated here and i can't really explain.
i just wanted to say that you can't compare the different systems so easily and more spend money of the government for schools than in other countries doesn't have to mean that they have better books there or whatever^^ japan as example has also much lower capital for education and i don't really believe that they have less possibilities in their schools to learn as good as possible.
or all these football teams you have on american collages, we don't have something like that here, we go to football like we call it here (soccer) but not from school, after school in a club.
or how you all sleep at the campus there, that's also something most here don't do. that's why you often read amercians saying something like "my mate at my dorm" and you won't read that from someone from germany (or only very seldom). we have something like that here for some but that system is much bigger in usa
