How about this: You can't afford to pause your entire life to do a 4 year degree.
- LeanderK 8y agowe have part-time masters here in germany. A friend of mine is doing a part-time bachelor and it works out. But it's usually not as challenging as going to a university for a full-time study.

- LeanderK 8y agoThat's weird. The only serious competition to public higher education-insitutions in germany is in part-time study programmes. One of them, the FOM, is even branding itself as the "higher education institution for working people". The difference to full-time university degrees is that they are (usually) not research-focused. So you just learn, for example, business management, but they don't try to teach you how to do research, read and understand papers. It's a big difference. You mostly don't need much math if you don't want to do research. But I've always wondered...is there a differentiation in america between universities and other higher-education institutions?
