What does the cost of education have anything to do with here?
> What I paid in Germany was around $300 per semester
> In the case of my university the government spent like 2.5$ billion to extend the existing high-tech cluster
> The only thing I am not fond about Germany right now is the high taxes
Ever think those might be related?
> I don't know... is it easy to find a part time job in your field of studies in the US?
In the U.S., like the rest of the world, this is entirely dependent on what your field of study is.
- radva42 12y ago> What does the cost of education have anything to do with here? The accessibility to higher education has everything to do with the capacity of the nation to innovate. And the cost is one of the main factors - it's one thing to have to pay like 500-600$ per year, another - thousands or tens of thousands. > Ever think those might be related? I never said that. But there are a lot of different possible scenarios here, where to put the higher tax burden - on the companies or on the employees. Check for example Denmark and Sweden as they follow different paths in that matter.
- rco8786 12y ago> The accessibility to higher education has everything to do with the capacity of the nation to innovate The US has a higher % of people with higher education degrees than Germany. If anything, your argument needs to be that crippling student debt inhibits the capacity of a nation to innovate.
