Vienna Medical School Presentation

Once again it struck me how much more I like the school system in the US (minus the whole having to pay tuition and fees). We had a presentation on the differences between the educational systems in Europe and the US. It’s not that I don’t like the European system; the only thing I don’t like is the fact that children are expected to make a huge decision at the age of about 10 in regards to their future career choice! That’s scary; I mean 10 is so young. Over here in the US we graduate from high school, enter undergraduate university and hopefully by then we know what we want our careers to be, but even if we don’t, we still have time to think about it by choosing a General Studies major.
