i was at a bar in malaysia speaking to this very beautiful waitress in english and she was talking about how shes still learning and is going to school etc

i said how old are you and she said she was 16

holy shit it really put things into perspective

oof

and those who give up school become either street vendors, surf instructors, or sex workers. or a combination of those

even bars and restaurants want employees with hospitality degrees nowadays

The point is that everything has a degree in most parts of Asia. A dual system like Germany's "Ausbildung" (3 year mixed on the job training + school combination) would save a lot of countries

same in the uk

as in everything has a degree

Especially for more applied jobs, like working in a restaurant

Well everyone decided to drop apprenticeships as the US did. God knows why..

To have a bigger percentage of the population have bachelors, even if they're useless ones

26 % of the people hold a degree in Germany, almost 40 % in Taiwan

Koreans mate

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?

@porco I could

But I don't see the link

robots are cheaper and easier to maintain than apprentices
