calculation what Germany is spending on education, in EUR per year of their citizen's life. top one person doing an apprenticeship, bottom is someone with a university degree.

- "Summe" is the total at the top
- "Elterngeld" is a payment for new parents so they can pause working
- "Kindergeld" child-benefit
- "Berufsschule" trade/vocational school
- "Kindergarten" preschool
- "Grundschule" primary school
- "Oberschule" middle/high school
- "Hochschule" university or technical college

@kaia do they push for ausbildung because of this or something?

@xarvos no, they don't push for Ausbildung. and tbh I think they should push more, since the quality of people reaching university declined a lot. some of my fellow students cannot read academic papers without some kind of digest.

psychology is extra bad because people think it's an "easy" degree, not as difficult as STEM, just to get obliterated with the statistics modules. or they finish with a bad psych degree and end up jobless or have to study again to find a job at all.

the majority of current psych students should not study psychology, since they have no actual profession in mind they want to reach.

@kaia @twinspin6 @xarvos And in some countries it's even worse. In france, bachelor in psychology basically doesnt exist, so it's master or nothing. Except to go from M1 to M2 there is a competitive exam where approx 5% only of people are taken. If you fail the exam, you're only allowed to take it a second time. But you have to _actively_ fail, as in having less than 10/20 on a course during the exam. If you go all in and do not fail the exam, but are not selected at the end, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PASS THE EXAM A SECOND TIME.

So people can lose 4 years of their time for a bachelor's degree that isn't even recognized by the country.

And of course none of this is said to new students/potential students.

The number of people wasting years in this thing is insane.
