- s_dev 5y agoTheres probably more Japanese making knives and growing bonzai trees than there are Japanese astrophysicists or computer architects.
- busterarm 5y agoAlso I think the parent post is ignoring generally accepted realities of the Japanese higher education system. The hardest part of the top tier universities is getting in. Being an actual university student is the time in life when most Japanese slack off, get part time jobs and devote lots of attention to their hobbies. Skipping class is normal in most departments and largely what you get your degree in is meaningless. Japanese university grads merely have to graduate and based on the school they went to will determine which prestigious companies they can successfully apply to. New grads apply to the company, not a specific position and companies allocate their new hires based on what positions they need filled.
