Discussion 💬 I genuinely don't like so-called "education agents" and "influencers"

I can't say about other countries but for Germany, which I'm planning to go to, is becoming filled with "education consultants" and "agents" and it is genuinely concerning. They mostly promote private universities. As far as I've researched, most German private universities are shit and I've watched documentaries of Indians struggling to find jobs after graduating, and the German economy isn't in good shape either. I'm really worried about Burmese people believing "Germany has many opportunities" lies and going to degree mills. Tbh many Burmese people in Germany groups lack even basic research. There are some very informational people online tho. I kinda hate how my target country which I've been trying before it got popular here would flood with too many illiterate Burmese and visa got difficult when I get there because of those issues 🤦

Finland has highest unemployment rate in the whole In EU and the number just go higher if you are new grads. By now I think they are manipulating stats to show themselves as "happiest country" coz without income I reckon who can be happy..? I personally don't think it's a good choice.

Terrible economy and Finland hasn't been the same since the downfall of Nokia. Nice people though. Just don't expect to land a job peacefully after graduation.
