Good point, but I would like to compare the entire educational&#x2F;job training spectrum. In Germany, many people decide to go for an apprenticeship or a position in the dual educational system [1], even if they qualify for the university path with the matura. These are not counted as university students.<p>I agree on the remark on baseline quality of university.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dual_education_system" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dual_education_system</a>
