College Chatter

 There was an interesting statistical 'dump' done via Focus today....over education in Germany.

If you count all universities, plus the applied science programs (the tech crowd) (Fachhochschulen/Hochschulen).....there are a total of 392 situations possible.  

So the number of courses offered nationally?  20,359.  Number added since 2007 (half of the 20,359 number).

With 2.9-million kids enrolled....Focus offered this one odd aspect....nearly 43-percent of those kids dropped out of the program in 2021.

There is open discussion going on....too many college kids.....not enough apprentice kids.  The fear is....there's not going to be enough skilled workers in another decade.

If you look at what is brewing here....in ten years, there's going to be a major amount of chaos brewing, where you need x-type of worker to come to work on your plumbing, your roof or your heating unit....then get told that the initial visit will be four weeks away, and any work itself....might be six months away, because there's just not the skilled people on hand to resolve things.

A political 'hot-button' issue?  Today?  No.  You have to wait for 2030 to roll around, before they wake up an and attempt a fix.
