@ShadenLines wow, really? Cuz here in brazil we have few people going to college yet many unemployed graduated people (many unemployed people actually). Are you sure the problem is in too many people with higher education? Here in brazil the problem is bureaucracy and the state getting in the way of the jobs, entrepreneurs, corporations, etc as well the lack of national industry and products, brazil doesn't have a car manufacturer, all the manufcaturers are all international (volkswagen, chevrolet/general motors, honda, etc), and we have weak corporations like "Positivo" a brazilian computer manufacturer (similar to HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc) by which sucks ass, positivo is known here in brazil for crappy computers

Guess I stand corrected about Brazil. Or at least its governance. Jesus on a unicycle, man...
At the risk of stereotyping, some of that is the impression I have of Latin America in general. I know, they're not all the same...every nation is a bit different, etc. I'd sooner live in Brazil than Venezuela any day (though not Sao Paulo. I've heard about that city). But to an extent it seems like developing country-type issues: incompetent bureaucracy, probably more endemic corruption in some places, & a bit less organized overall.
@ShadenLines yo, yeah, brazil is full of problems (and is getting ruined) but still it's one of the best countries we got there. They have a thing called "Foro de São Paulo" somekind of reunion between important politicians from the latin america they plan to transform latin america in somekind of soviet union (but without the guns and technology), they are progressively advancing on that, again they're talking about fuse the real (brazilian coin) with the argentinian peso, we have a thing called "Mercosul" somekind of latin america european union, brazil is already using mercosul car plates, if you buy a car here you gotta use of one those plates, argentina are using the same plates too, april 2024 paraguay started using too.
Anyway i dont recommend any country in latin america they are all progressively turning into a thing similar to venezuela, colombia is getting closer to look like venezuela, argentina is closer to look like colombia, and brazil is closer to look like argentina, etc

i find it interesting how many people go to college there in the usa, here in brazil is harder to find someone who went to college, in my whole family just one of my relatives did go, nobody here in the pizza parlor did either. I just finished high school and the lady that did register my info in the brazilian ministry of labor thing did put "unfinished high school" lol

This might surprise you but it is an ongoing problem here...has been for a few decades. For several reasons, far too many high school graduates are sent off to four-year universities every year. It's a problem because if you want higher education to be, well, higher education--with high standards, real curricula, things that help students develop their intellects--then one must face the truth: not everyone is meant to go into academia. I could go on at length about why but the point is, too many students enrolling --> lots of students needing/wanting a degree --> falling ed standards. The girl I talked to obviously took her major seriously enough to search out the best classes & professors. Unfortunately, that isn't the norm in all American universities. Brazil's approach is probably more sensible overall.
