Maybe going off on a tangent but as a German I never understood why in the US people have to study for some very basic jobs.
Jobs like nurse, pharmacist, physical therapist, etc. are 3 year apprenticeships in Germany. You apply directly at a company that is educating you on the job and you go to “work school” in alternating fashion.
On the other side you need some kind of education for almost any job here. Car mechanic, etc. So
it is not as flexible.
I just always cringe when I hear someone is going to university to study for a job. Many jobs just require more practical experience than knowledge. In the US the choices are extrem: either go to some university or do nothing at all and try your luck.
