Es ist statistisch gesehen schwieriger geworden, einen zu landen Saisonjob im Einzelhandel als die Zulassung zum Medizinstudium zu erhalten. Ob als Symbol oder als Statistik betrachtet, spiegelt es die gleiche Realität wider: Der Arbeitsmarkt ist so schwach geworden, dass selbst Einstiegspositionen eine überwältigende Nachfrage nach sich ziehen. Wenn Tausende von qualifizierten Arbeitskräften um eine befristete Beschäftigung im Einzelhandel konkurrieren, während erfahrene Bauarbeiter arbeitslos bleiben, wird es immer schwieriger zu argumentieren, dass das Problem ein Mangel an Arbeitskräften ist. Das Problem ist ein Mangel an Chancen, der auf jahrelanges wirtschaftliches Missmanagement, hohe Finanzierungskosten und eine Politik zurückzuführen ist, die das produktive Wachstum des privaten Sektors kontinuierlich untergräbt.
Finland: Landing a Summer Retail Job Is Now Harder Than Getting Into Medical School

Other thing is more random than the other. You get a retail job if you are lucky or have good relations or just in right place right time. Doesn’t matter if you are the most intelligent and had best grades in school or even most experience. Getting into medical school is hard work, requiring intelligence and good grades.
A major portion of people can get a retail job if they are lucky but only a small portion of people can get to medical school even after practicing. So it is still harder to get there.
But at least we have the Hyvä Hallitusohjelma!
Jesus fuck even if it is a simple warehouse job, I’m quite glad to be employed. Best of luck for everyone out there looking for jobs
How many times does this need to be said? Admission percentages are not comparable, because the applicants are not of the same quality. This can be clearly seen by comparing previous years business school admission percentages. Turku university’s Pori unit is one of the easiest business schools to get into, when you look at admission test scores. Yet, this Pori unit has a lower admission percentage than Aalto university’s business school, which is the hardest to get into.
So which is it? Is Pori actually harder to get into, despite Aalto requiring higher entrance exam points? Obvious answer is that admission percentages are meaningless, unless you are dealing with the same group, in this case applicants. Yet it is not the same group that tries to get into these universities, even within the same field. Obviously it is not the same group that tries to get into med school and land a summer job, even if there is overlap.
This is all to say that you need to stop arguing as if admission percentages have any comparability. They only have meaning within that applicant group itself. You only make yourself look like an idiot, if you use admission percentages as any basis for an argument. Obviously the job market in Finland is shit, but we don’t need to be idiots to prove it.
Edit. Since this is getting downvoted, here’s simple proof: [Link to 2025 admission stats](https://www.kauppatieteet.fi/wp-content/uploads/Hakijatilasto-2025.pdf); where Aalto has 5% admission percentage, while Pori has 3,6%; [link to 2025 test scores](https://www.kauppatieteet.fi/wp-content/uploads/Pisterajat2025_fi.pdf); Aalto has 28,5 point requirement, while Pori has 21,5.
If the lack of proof was not the problem, can someone explain why exactly they are so in love with comparing admission percentages?
Good time to study for a doctor.
Star Wars meme: So you’re going to apply to med school, right?
**Why are there so many unemployed people today, and what can be done to reduce unemployment?**
Stupid saying. Medical school books cost a fortune and you have to study awfull lot. Retail jobs are starting jobs that have zero to non experience requirements.
