The article is completely "fake news" as it is not about Universities in Germany. It is about apprenticeship. Apprenticeship is a widely accepted path to professional education here and works as described in the article. Your salary is also not as high as mentioned - normally around 500-800 Euros/month.
Besides universities and apprenticeship, there are "dual studies" where you are partly working for (usually big) enterprises and partly studying for a university degree. But only a few students are doing this, most either do apprenticeship (which includes interesting professions like programmer or system administrator) or university studies.
- lispm 9y agoFor software developers and medium sized enterprises, the Duales Studium is an excellent way to grow new talent.
- geff82 9y agoAbsolutely. I just say that not the majority is doing this.
- lispm 9y agoFor a young person or a company it is not important what the majority is doing. Talent in software development is in high demand and a dual education (Ausbildung or Studium, or a combination of both) is for many companies an attractive way to get well trained staff in software development. For software developers this is a good alternative to a computer science degree, which is not that much about practical programming.
