      It is hard to believe Germany in that map. Does this have something to do with differences in classification of educations in different countries?

      It’s impressive, but the real test will be how many actually put their knowledge to use instead of just collecting diplomas.

      tertiary education is giga overrated and in many cases, a scam for profit, just look at the UK/USA.

      unless you are doing STEM, it is mostly useless.

      Vocational Training should count here but i don’t think it is. which is a shame, because it’s also the process of producing competent agent specialists which is why this matters in the first place.

      Honestly, society seems to be a little obsessed with university degrees. To do many jobs, you don’t realistically need a university degree and would be fine with a specialised high school. Sometimes it also needlessly increases the general expectations from employers in the job market. I know of many people who went to university after having a specialised education from high school who said that they are now studying basically the same things. Plenty of people also barely use their degree in their jobs now. Not everyone needs to be a lawyer, for example.

      I don’t think having a high degree of people having a university or college degree is necessarily a great thing since people in many professions don’t really need them, which means a lot of resources have been used for that when they didn’t need to be.

      The demand for services and the prices for them have gone quite up in the past years with the supply not matching it.

      Ireland is a prime example of a country ruining its errands with progress while dragging down its healthcare sector; yet, it seems to be working for them. Sometimes, you have to cut corners where/if possible.

      Not all degrees are created equal or create the same value. Would be nice to see the raw date to see what type of degrees are being obtained.

      I’m sure the problem is:

      • Pressure from parents
      • Pressure from society
      • Lower or perceived lower wage without it
      • Lesser career progression avenues

      The degree issue is also a problem which attributes to the housing crisis across Europe. I know in Ireland, the lower wage tempts people away from trades and for those that do, they leave because they get better wages abroad.

      We don’t need more solicitors, we need more builders. Increase the damn wages.
