That is exactly the issue. The engineer is not seen as a nerd in German society. It is a reputable and respected profession. Also we don't have the strange American college system, which helps a lot.

What's the system like in de Germany?

Pretty sure our manufacturing issues have more to do with corporations shipping jobs out and bad trade trade agreements. The idea of, we give countries paper, and they give us cheap goods. Most Americans don’t look down on manufacturing at all.
But well, that’s political stuff. I’m just glad we have one more feather in our cap against Canada.

Universities are tuition-free. Also sport scholarships are unknown here.

Germany sounds fucking lovely.

Most European universities are tuition free. Just the UK and the USA across the Atlantic are strange outliers. Both countries depend on immigration to import specialists. So it doesn't matter as much.

I don't much care for king or country. Give me a deep lager of ale, a nice bosom to snog, and I'm right as rain.

So you are British?
Scribbler
No, I was only speaking old english for the funnies. I have no kith or kin.
Assurbanipal_II
But why are we nationalistic then?
Scribbler
Oh shit, snog is british slang, did you guys know that?

You care about the land yee hale from.

Hmmm... The reason why sports scholarships work is the money the student brings in. For example, a star player helping the team will draw in crowds, selling tickets and merchandise.
As for colleges. Tuition is high in the US because of government backed loans. And you have to remember, technically speaking, the government does not have money. The only money it has is the money it acquires through taxes.

So, let’s say Bill doesn’t go to college, and earns $15 an hour as a mechanic. The government would be taking money from Bill to pay for someone’s college degree in the “free college” scenario. Take out of that whatever you want, but college is not for everyone, and Bill should not have to pay for another persons degree.

That is nationalism these days? Nationalism is the inherent belief that your nation is better in virtue of your nationhood.

You sure are a stickler @Assurbanipal_II . Are there still shoemakers and watchmakers in Germany?

If you think so. I just say the continental system proved to be a good decision for Europe.
