[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many American parents find it difficult to accept most people simply are not cut out for a university education? In Europe, we all accept the reality only a small percentage of the population are actually meant to attend university. There are plenty of other careers for those who are not headed to university. Americans have a weird hang-up about college. Your child not finishing is not the end of the world, but many here pretend it is.[/quote] I’m European. It feels like in the US a lot of jobs require a college degree that can be done with an apprenticeship in Europe. [/quote] +1 totally agree. A degree in the US has become meaningless almost. IMO, most jobs really don't require degrees. Even in tech, most of it can be learned on the job. Unfortunately, that's not the American way.[/quote]
