  I mean, not the whole world is the US. Plus, at this point you’ll get a better paying job if you go into trades.

    There’s a trade school near me that is fucking free. They have a huge endowment and that pays for everything, even room and board for the on-campus students. They still have to advertise and meanwhile kids go $300K into debt to get a degree in English Lit. I’m all for a classic Liberal Arts education but god damn.

      In Germany, most trades are organized as apprenticeships with a split of work days and school days, which means you’ll basically get paid for school!

    Haha, yeah, if you actually look at how much you earn vs how much you actually work (quality of life), some trades like electrician or plumbers are so much better off than my doctor wife, it’s not even funny :/

  Yeah there are plenty of degrees that shouldn’t really be an area of study at university. But there are plenty that justify it as well

  I assure you that’s not how it works in Europe. Nowhere near as bad as the US, in any case.
  I guess that’s what happens when education is deeply ingrained in the culture.

  That’s not fair, they’re also debt slavery scams where they sell false hope to people. They even have entire military boot camp lite night release prisons where they brainwash you into going
