It's not transferable 1:1, some college / university are not even recognized abroad. I had a friend of mine from Thailand that couldn't get recognized her master degree in marketing in an European country. So she enrolled again to go through the same stuff she learned just to get the valid degree spendable in the county

My comment is saying they're not transferable 1:1 right there... Even between first world countries they're not transferable 1:1, even within single countries they're not transferable 1:1 But the reality is your friend had an incredible head start going over the same stuff she learned. There's this narrative that high educated people form 3rd world countries all have to end up in menial jobs because somehow a doctor/lawyer/engineer/tradesperson from a 3rd world country is not knowledgeable enough to do anything else by 1st world standards, and it's more of a meme than anything.

    You wouldn't consider knowing the entire curriculum well enough to have already earned a degree a head start? Do you know what a head start is?

      Head start in the uni maybe, not head start in life. And also the program would be in a language that you never learned as first language and you don't even master it so yes, is not an head start at all to me.

        Good thing a masters is part of university then... The point is that other countries produce people just as capable at equivalent jobs, it literally said credentials don't map 1:1 but their actual backing, the knowledge, is real. You don't know what a head start is, that's ok, but my point was not that complicated.
