Census 2016: Canadians, including recent immigrants, are among most educated in the w

[chuckChuck]

Canada is accepting legitimate refugees for humanitarian reasons. Not all refugee applicants are allowed to stay.

When millions of people leave their countries because of war, persecution, famine what are the options?

Just like most of our ancestors who came to Canada looking for a better life, modern day refugees are doing the same.

Trouble is, book “education”, means nothing. Life is the ultimate educator. Some of the most highly book educated people I know, are some of the most clueless and dense practical thinkers I have ever met.

Therefore, I do not praise book education. It is impractical, and only shows the ability to spew back to the professor, what he spewed at you.

Finally, the way Canada is going, I do not think this “higher education” means anything...

Granted a lot of things are learned after school and on the job.

But are you telling your kids not to bother with high school, trade schools, college, and university because you will learn nothing?

Without good reading, writing and mathematical skills it is really difficult to do a lot of jobs.

I don't expect my doctor to know how to fix a car but I am sure as hell happy that he knows how to diagnose an illness.

To suggest that the higher education required to be a doctor means "nothing" is pretty stupid.

So the next time you get sick are you heading down to your jack of all trades, practical neighbor who can fix anything to ask them to diagnose your illness? Or do you head to the local health clinic? Why head to the health clinic if higher education means nothing?

Writers course needed around here i guess. Can get hung without precise elucidation.

Not %100 sure Sheeples' point.
But my son was seeing an "English as a second language" psychiatrist. And now hes fkd up worse. And not necessarily blaming where the fkr came from.
Nor do I blame the birth origin of the two "English as second language" health proffessionals who took things to the letter and pushed my mother out of her home town hospital and into a another town 3 weeks b4 she died.
Common sense... my immigrant worker 3 years ago was such a fk up i begged immigration to send him home. (Booze, drugs, lies, fights,wreckin shit) Hes still here. Hes breeding welfare girls folks, so get ready to pay more taxes.

The game played here is get a degree and work for government. That strategy has worked well in Canuckistan as well as third world S holes for a long time. That is why there is so many degrees out there. I have one too so looking in the mirror here. The value of these degrees is becoming less and less since they are so common. Degree is different than real world accomplishment especially so when government wastes the time of the so called best and brightest. That is why Canuckistan is going down.

Big difference between a doctor and a women studies graduate.


A laywer and a guy with a BA in classic Greek literature.


A dentist and a political studies graduate.

Oh come on Klause.... you're not saying "social" degrees aren't worth the time, effort and diploma they're written on?

[the big wheel]

It's a farce that for many 3 or 4 year degeea there is a year at least of irrelevant garbage. When schools are packed and we're wasting time like that. Need someone with no education to figure that out I suppose. Lol

[furrowtickler]

as long as immigration leads to wealth creation for Canada , it’s all good .
It must not turn out like what’s happening in Europe , where the barn doors are kicked wide open and those countries finances and social programs are now under severe stress.
