You can tell this is an ancient meme because it prices college at 4 years at $9,000 per year instead of 5 years at $30,000 per year 😆

    This doesn’t work for some fields imo. I don’t know how I could train someone in computer science if they don’t even know how a for loop works yet.

      It’s a regular thing in Germany.

      Our apprenticeships are a lot cheaper though, below minimum wage, so it’s easier for the employer to set aside time for training that doesn’t earn money.

      I’ll chime in with a comment above, but I am an apprenticeship mentor at a big tech company, and while you are somewhat correct, most apprenticeship schemes will mix in academic learning alongside on-the-job training.

      It’s a great way to learn if you are motivated. If you’re not, it’s immensely stressful compared to studying for a degree.
