Interesting! I'm surprised that Germany isn't among the 10. On the
other hand, it has the deepest and longest tertiary system of them
all for those with the necessary stamina (and genuine desire for
scholarship) -- where PhDs still mean something! In terms of
scientific education (and subsequent Nobel prizes and patents) on a
population basis, Israel is now beginning to streak ahead of America,
Germany and the UK. China would be on the list, too, I suspect, if
data were confined to the half-dozen coastal provinces only. As far
as the UK is concerned, something like half (if not three-quarters)
of university degrees are of a trivial nature with pretty well zero
real scholarship involved nor with any usefulness for jobs in the
real economy. The brightest of my six grandchildren who can't decide
what she wants to concentrate on has decided not to go to university
at all -- at least for a few years -- so at the end of this school
term she'll be taking a job in a Coca Cola bottling plant in New
Zealand as her first experience of the real world.
