My thoughts exactly. A difference between US and Europe is that in EU countries a degree is cheaper (or completely free if you meet some financial and grades requirements), since it is subsidized by the state in many cases.
But I agree with the parent that it shouldn't be a discrimination, especially if you can demonstrate relevant experience in the field.
- adventured 12y agoDespite the cost of tuition doubling in the last decade or so, the US still produces a vast number of college graduates. It ranks #6 in the world in terms of college graduates (assoc. degree or higher) per capita (behind Russia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Japan). The US is also now producing twice the number of masters graduates per capita it was 25 years ago. One thing that US isn't lacking for, is college degrees. And when it comes to the free aspect - if that's so great, how come 3/4 of European countries have vastly lower college graduation rates versus the US?
