What did he mean by this

It's even funnier considering that they're over saturating on economic "desk" jobs because mom and daddy told them so.

Thats pretty much everyone outside of some germanic countries and some local stuff stateside

Sure

But here you got quite an educated population

And they go out of their way avoiding engineering courses with higher wages, because muh reputation

Literally full autism

The next big reccession is going to be in a couple years when banks pull the rug under a bunch of baristas making minimum payment on interest for school loans

cant watch either so not sure of the content

Are the dogs actually being raised for that or are they just euthinized strays?

But I don't see the link

robots are cheaper and easier to maintain than apprentices

Anyone have any reccs to learn chinese?

>inb4 screenshot

I know but I deal with chinks heavily and most of thier english isn't passable

yes take Chinese classes, unronically, learning online is really difficult

I am taking Chinese classes since about a year now, 2 x 1 h / week

And I am about to pass HSK 3

fug thats going to be pricey here

where do you live?

Like, country

new york border but I only sometimes go there

mainly need to learn whatever they use for wechat

Pinyin?

I can find Chinese lessons with professional teachers in your area for roughly 30 $ / hour

isn't that totally fine? I pay much much more

I pay 50 CHF (52 $) / hour

Oh private lessons

Christ why did I only look at community college courses

Yes at first you usually just learn talking / listening and pinyin. Learning characters usually learning characters follows much later

Shit, google translate isnt that great for anything but formal stuff, maybe I can just run it through a text to speech

Do you need only written communication?

Pretty much but learning chinese is something I need to do anyway.

I'd just invest the time and do it the right way

might take you a year to be productive in written form
