Hmm... again I'm late as always, but what else is new...
I agree with yer Bro... It's a bum time... it's like 2am here... on a sunday... sorry, but that's not an option. I ditched all last year, and that didn't turn out ALL that well...
I think our Gymnasium, is the equivilant of your collage... not sure tho...
I'd say it's for peeps from 17-20 but that means sheit, as danes start a little later, and stay in primary school longer... our schooling system is a bit tossed off, so...

In Denmark there are 3 seperate "layers" of schooling.
- Elementary school: starts around 6 and last for 10 or 11 years.
- Highschools: Includes what Americans would consider highschool but also trade schools, such as mechanics, electricians, cooks, clerks, etc. These schools usually last 3 to 4 years with the trade-schools using a high degree of "on the job training" (apprenticeships) integrated into the school year. You should be 18 or 19 when you graduate.
- College level courses are the equivalent of US college classes, but you declare your major before starting at the college/university. I was originally an engineering student (so that is all I know) and it took 3 years to get a bachelor's and another two to get your master's in engineering (science). I think other fields are the same, except a master's is called a candidate's degree in Denmark.
Traditionally a student would specialize him/herself very early. The student had to decide before the 8th grade (7. klasse) what general area he/she was interested in, as high and low level classes were offered in the 9th and 10th grade in subjects such as math, languages, and science. By the time he/she went to highschool they had to choose between being a "math" or "language" major, and this choice had a very limiting effect upon your choice of field-of-study when you graduated. Highschool courses are seen as a prerequisite to your college major, and if you did not have the right courses, you were out of luck. Extra courses could be aqquired by taking the classes needed at a highschool-level-school but this would delay your entry into college by a full year at least.
Similarly, you declared your major before entering college, and changing your major was not straight forward, not even between different disciplines of engineering at the same school, as all colleges are limited to what you need in your specific field. No or little generalization was practised when I attended college in the early 90's, but that may have changed since. I know the highschool system was changed for all classes following mine, so if I have misrepresented anything feel free to correct me.

No it generally fit's the bill... and I think it blows!
Denmark is the only place I can think of, where you can stay in school till your about 30... what use is a 30 year old with no working experience?
Education has become the holy grail here, and YES, there is such a thing as over educating... I know it might seem hard to grasp for many. Especially people who can't afford the education they want, but in DK, education is free... And it's over used!
If a person doesn't know what to do, they grab an education, one they'll never use and still waste 3 years on it. Then when done, they grab another one... I have a friend who wants to do pharmacy, he has to stay in school till he's 27... Twenty fuckin seven! It's a mad house!

Well the reason it's not the same crowd these days is because I missed it... yeah I was getting over a hangover and drinking too much leet piss... more of that later...
By the way Geroge's Vodka SUCKS! Unless you really want to get that fucked up.
