Day Care Woes

 It is a funny story....at least from my prospective.

Germans got all hyped-up over the past five years....about all-day day-care for kids.  Politicians fell upon themselves....making it written in stone.

So there is a study talked about via N-TV this morning....with a Bertelsmann study done on the topic.  

The bad news....there's supposed to be gov't provided all-day care existing by 2030 in Germany.  Bertelsmann says 'no'.....not because of funding, but because there is a total lack of 'tens of thousands of educators and social workers in Germany' to fill the 'hole'.

To be readily honest....this type of profession just isn't a dream status job, and most Germans would have told you that back thirty years ago.

Convincing 17-year-olds today....to get into the apprentice work, and launch into the field?  Don't count on this being an enticement.

But here's thing....probably half of the 25-to-35 year old German crowd is expecting this entitlement to occur.
