Why not study on the continent and save on loans?Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostMonolingualism?
No, her German is good enough and anyway, a lot of the European Uni's offer degrees taught in English.
Why not study on the continent? Mostly personal reasons, she did consider the University of Vienna, as we have family in Wien.
Anyway, she ended up at Bristol studying law ... I would have preferred her to do Maths or Engineering!Comment

Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostI knew of one some time ago who earned a living by selling car brake parts at auto jumbles. What a waste of resources. Apart from perhaps medicine, our educational system awards individuals qualifications in subjects which invariably are of limited use in the market place. Arts subjects tend to be of less use than science subjects on that score. In all my long career, I've only met 2 people who had a computer science degree and who were working in IT. Others here might have had a different experience, but in the main, most had degrees un-related to IT.
I know one individual who has a first class maths honours degree and didn't know what s = ut + 1/2 at** or v - u = at meant.
We also experienced the schools are institutionally lazy. Forget about exams, in England there is not even any school books, there is a crazy idea of "lessen plan" where parents have no visibility.
We realized, it is complete waste of money (monthly 1200 quids) and quit the school/country and re-settled in Bangalore. We had our struggles with adjustment, but the advance of e-governance, online retail (in India there are numerous online retail companies like Flipkart, Snapdeal, Myntra etc unlike only Amazon in UK) and other services like affordable private health care etc, life is better in Bangalore than London.
Except traffic and pollution, in all other aspects, life in Bangalore city is better than London. And now take the future prospect, India is a rapidly growing economy. Bangalore is technology capital of India, there are R&D centers of various global firms, aerospace technology, AI, third fastest growing start-up hubs in the world, space research and so on. In 21st century, India is with the league of America and China far ahead of Britain.
Again, it is best decision leaving UK permanently.Last edited by Hat1rmathA; 27 September 2019, 10:12.Comment
