[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In other countries-once you pick a major, you study to become/work in that industry. There aren’t many if any general courses. Undergrad is almost like the equivalent of undergrad and grad/professional school. [/quote] this. My son’s friend went to college in Germany studying Mech Eng. Her first class was thermodynamics. No Bs fluff classes, just straight to the meat. Apparently the same if you want to become a doctor. No undergrad crap. Straight to doctor stuff .[/quote] At the end of the day, engineer, doctor, accountant, lawyer and many other jobs are just "white collar" trades. I agree that other countries accelerate nearly all these degrees...lawyers are produced in 5 years vs. 7...not sure how long it takes to finish undergrad and grad for medical school other than it is less than 8 years.[/quote]
