Half of College Grads Come From Only 3 Countries

This is something quite interesting. According to new Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, almost half of all college graduates in the world come from only three countries: United States, China, and Japan.

Among the 34 OECD and G20 countries, nearly 26 percent of the total 255 million college-educated individuals between the ages of 25 and 64 hail from the United States. China comes in a distant second at 12.1 percent and Japan is a close third at 11.4 percent.

why do people care about the number of graduates? surely now we suffer more from the dearth of intelligent and educated people who so good jobs but ones that will never pay for massive student debt.

the myth that you need to go to university or college to be happy/ successful / usefull/ one of the guys, surely has to end

pure guesswork, but i'd say the real economic benefits to any coutnry are form a a well organised industrial core, combined with a remarkably small number of very well trained people, you don't need a vast army of people edicated beyond their ability... the peter principal forced upon the people who haven't even started workign yet
