China is now a country where a high-school handyman has a master’s degree in physics; a cleaner is qualified in environmental planning; a delivery driver studied philosophy, and a PhD graduate from the prestigious Tsinghua University ends up applying to work as an auxiliary police officer.

These are real cases in a struggling economy - and it is not hard to find more like them.

    And that is utter bullshit.

    You can’t be that dense to seriously say you enjoyed every single lecture. That’s a lie, and you know it.

    BTW, I’m from one of those “some countries”. And no, nobody, not a single person enjoyed everything. That’s not how reality works.

    Who are you trying to impress here?

      I’m just telling you about my anecdotal experience. You don’t have to believe me. It changes nothing - I loved my lectures to bits. For me, it was such an improvement from high school where I was often bored! At uni, I studied what I was really interested in and even could choose from different lectures. Not every lecturer was good, so I sometimes got bored because of that, but not because I wouldn’t like the subjects they were teaching - I enjoyed every bit of information I learned about at uni. I’m sorry it was so different for you that you can’t believe this could be real for someone.

      Edit: I think I found a better way to explain myself: Imagine a nerd learning all the nerd stuff. That was me.
