I guess it just doesn't cut it.

You simply didn't understand what i wrote, but that's ok.

Germans and humour?

Australia is the same. To become a tradesman you have to spend 4 years doing an apprenticeship. Uni degrees go for 3. Needless to say I'd wager most tradesmen would be better educated then most university graduates.

Learning from a book is one thing. Spending 4 days a week on the job and one day a week in the classroom for 4 years sure beats most degrees apart from medicine/physics.

I assume one reason for NZ's high ranking is due to Vocational/Polytech/Apprenticeship schemes.

While NZ has a high penetration of those who pursue Uni degrees, the only explanation for the quite high ranking must include specialist trade qualifications.

NZ beats Aussie again

wupdidoo... germans no humor...
It was pretty lame for 5000+ posts, but that's ok.

I never said Germans don't have a sense of humour, I said you don't.

toki actually, personally, has the worst sense of humour on the board.

Or is just a sensitive wee chap, I can't tell.

Germany has an vocational apprenticeship system that hardly any country provides. Not to speak of the various degrees in trades (Meisterschule etc.). Those types fall through the system in other countries.

College education rates alone hardly allow it to compare countries. A 'master' in a certain trade will do better than most college graduates. It's a combination of entrepeneur school and craft.

I was making a joke. DeVry is a garbage for-profit school that peddles near-worthless associate degrees. The US has a lot of them (ITT, University of Phoenix, etc) which is probably why we scored so well. Then we have the more legit public Community/Vocational College system which also adds to our numbers.

I could have quoted another post. Never heard of DeVry. Just explained the dual system here, or tried to.

Seriously, I don't even recall you. Neither do i recall Pete. Should i care, probably not? The problem is, after 7 years on this forum self proclaimed humor, very often is a rather old.

I think i'm dropping Macsler a line, he'll put you lot in the oven.

I recall you having a crack about an obvious joke I made a few weeks back. Sense of humour? No, you don't have one.

A man walks into a bar. The barman says "that must have hurt?"

Now I know you didn't laugh at this. Ergo, no sense of humour.
