    What is it exactly that you think money is? Just fancy paper?

    No one goes to school for fun except for rich old people. People go to school to get money.

    we’re just not so stupid as to accepts the horrible conditions you have in the US of A.

    The “horrible conditions” where we don’t have our money taken at gunpoint and given to people who contribute nothing to society? Yeah, it’s awful. Don’t come here. Please don’t come here.

      Wait, have you literally never learned anything ‘just for fun’? Like read about an ancient civilization or learned to ski or ride a bike or something?

      Riding a bike and skiing definitely hasn’t ever helped my employability or level of income… pretty fun though so I’d recommend it.

      And yes, people can learn these things inside a school. Although many people also learn them outside of school. But learning is learning.

        Sure, but I don’t dedicate 12 hours/day for 9 years learning to become a doctor “for fun”.

        Learning to ride a bike does not contribute anything to anyone but yourself so you’re not making a great argument here…
