I think it's incredible but it would NEVER happen in the US.

The university system/scam is the 2nd most profitable industry in America after the defense industry.

We never paid, Merkel startet feeing Universitys in 2006

everybody hated it and now she abolished the fees like it was before.

[knickballer]

I don't see how it can happen in the US as most of the universities are private institutions. Do you think those schools can have all their fancy buildings with their fancy shit they provide to their students by making it free?

The state universities on the other hand is a different issue. I know in NY the CUNY system was free back in the day but nowadays I think the state only provides something around 20% of the school's budget. But either way it's a much cheaper option than going to a private university while getting the same education(if not better)

If you're dropping 30k a semester on tuition I don't feel bad for you at all and it's your fault you're in debt. You don't go out to the dealership to buy a benz if you work at McDonalds...

Wouldn't this help bankrupt a country as well as make a degree from these schools worthless.

good to hear the united nation had extended its dysfunction into the european union

or you know, possibly the other way around


who knows

Amazing.

Governments in other countries could learn a thing or two from some of these European and Scandinavian countries.

If you ever go to Germany, it is a beautiful place and so clean.

You probably have to be really outstanding/smart to get into german schools.. U.S. it's a joke.. theyll let anyone with C's/B's in shitty high schools in as long theyre willing to pay.

so we have concluded so far

- no minimum wage, no college tution fees because essentially your career is dependent on your natural ability/placements

- minimum wage, college tuition for people who are intellectually incapable of succeeding under the global scale so they may earn a better wage


so the unemployment fund should now be related to the college education funding?

I agree.. its a scam here. Good news is, it is what you make it. With such mediocre competition anyone with some drive/goals can get something. Id imagine it'd be damn near impossible for the average U.S. student to make it in germany

wow

If only they could abolish Hitler from their history, eh? Here's a country so full of shame they will do anything to get everybody to like them. Germany stop trying so hard, bro.
