The German Model of preparing students for one particular field of work is often glamorized by Libs, but they rarely talk to those Germans who find themselves wholly unprepared for life when they grow up and have different opinions and preferences, and suddenly that field of work isn't so attractive anymore (or they found out that they can't do well in the field that they thought that they wanted and were prepared for).

Those who are dissatisfied with the German system become huge proponents of the usual notion of teaching the basics to everyone, and allowing the individual to specialize themselves, in any field that they wish, or even in multiple fields over their lifetimes. We aren't worker bees.

I had a generation zero German in my high school Embedded Computing class. She went back to Germany for university study, and then came back to enroll at Georgia Tech. Her experience with the German system really pissed her off. She’s a big girl. You don’t want to piss her off.
