F.Y.I. in Spain it used to work in the following way:
At 14th you decide whether you go for University or for other studies
If you want University you must go for High School
If you don't want University you must go for Professional School where they can teach a great variety of jobs (plumbing, secretary, carpenter, etc)
In High School you have 2 years of common studies
When you are 16th you have to choose whether you want to study sciences or something else
Then when you are 17th you have to choose into 4 different things:
1-Technical Sciences (Engineering, Maths, Physics, Arquitechture, etc)
2-Bilogical Sciences (Doctors, Vet's, Biologics, etc)
3-Layers, Economits and such
4-Art, Phylosophy, History, etc
I agree it is difficult for such age to decide what to choose, but I can say on my side that I was more than happy not to have to study subjects such us Latin, Greek, Story of Art etc when I was 16/17 and study more Maths, Chemistry, Physics, etc.
I finally studied a degree in engineering....
The article says
"In a country where gasoline costs more than $4 a gallon, at least $1 more than the U.S. price"
Well yesterday I paid 1.18 Euro/Liter for Diesel (I live in France). If we convert that to $/gallon makes more than 5.5 $ per gallon. Gasoline ? Bffff I think it's sold at 1.3 Euro/Liter -> more than 6$/gallon
