hi to all well, I'm sorry If you feels I'm kind of confused about the US & European Peoples but here in our country there are soooo many stories about the US Peoples & Europeans, that how much $$$ they have, how happy & successful they are, I also know that its bad to being thankless to God, I'm sorry But I admit it If Personally I Compares myself to any US or Euro Citizen, I am being thankless to God, so I concentrate on Equality between me & other nations, anyway, just a quick question appears in my mind, I got it around 99.99% peoples literates in US/UK/Canada & Europe, as you know literacy rate calculated by middles pass (I don't know what you say to person who pass 8th class in your country???) but can all US/UK/Canadian & Euro are University graduates??? I'm curious to know, have a nice day...

It is possible for everyone that lives in the United States to go to college if that is what they want to do with their lives, but that definitely doesn't mean that everyone goes to college. For example, I attended college for three years, but I didn't graduate because it was just too expensive for our family. It is my hope that I will eventually be able to go back and finish my degree. One of my closest friends, on the other hand, didn't even graduate from high school and is self-employed and successful. You see, it isn't mandatory to go to college if you want to be successful.

Not everyone in the US can go to a university. Some don't want to go, some can't afford to go, and some don't have the grades that allow them to go.

I live in the United Kingdom. I am well qualified and I went to university as a mature student in my early to mid twenties. I qualified in Education and English Literature. I got qualified teacher status to teach primary school aged children. Children go to preschools at aged 3 to 4 years old. Then they go to primary school when they are aged 4 to 11 years old. Secondary schools take them from aged 11 to 16 years old. It is optional if they wish to the sixth form or a further education college. All that education is free until 19 years old. Many people go to university however course fees are payable. In my day I got free tuition and a grant. Only in my last year did I need to take out a student loan. Not everyone is able to go to university. However most people in the United Kingdom are Literate.

No, and fewer people are attending college these days because it is so expensive. Most students borrow money to go and when they graduate they can be up to $300,000 in debt depending on the degree they chose, which determines how long they have to attend. To make it even worse, the US has to import skilled workers because our schools and colleges are not training people correctly or preparing them for the work force. A company that needs workers to make electronics might have to recruit workers from India or another technologically skilled country because people here can't or won't do the work. They are not choosing those careers--they would rather study law, sociology, humanities, history, etc. then find that there are no jobs when they graduate, deep in debt and unemployed.

I live in the UK and not every one can go to university because its so expensive and im sure its the same in the US. Higher education is very expensive they education system in my country is really good but there are still some people that cant read or write but again it comes down to money and the individual.

I don't think they are, you see going to a university is not a joke, it's very expensive especially in those countries you mentioned. Meaning, it would take s much sacrifice for a student to go to a university. It's true that people can get student loans but then it would mean that they'd have to take their education really seriously. But going to a university is still a choice. Its not nice to belittle people's capacities but I believe that everyone can get into a university if they wanted to but not everyone will . :)

Well, of course not all people make it to college in US and EUR. Many of the people in that place are very practical and tend to stop going to school if they have found a very high paying job. One example is LEBRON JAMES, a very popular NBA player today. He never went to college. After high school, he was directly employed by an NBA team that paid him bigger salaries than college graduate receives.
