Glupavite se srekjni by Barbora Misakova

Baš včera im kažuvav na moite roditeli za studiite na koledzot i za nivnite užasni uslovi ovde vo Slovačka. Dodeka go izrazuvav moeto nezadovolstvo od nivniot kvalitet, moite roditeli si gi vratija spomenite nazad vo socijalizmot, koga da se položi ispit ne bilo tolku lesno kako denes. Učenjeto ne bilo mačkina kašlica kako denes i nikoj ne ti daval ništo za dzabe. Ako nemavte inteligencija i ne bevte vo možnost efektivno da go koristite vašiot mozok, ne moževte da položite. Dodeka za vreme na 70-te godini, da se dobie diploma bilo retkost, denes toa ne e ništo posebno. Sekoj ima diploma, no najta! 82;noto nešto e toa što ne sekoj navistina ja zaslužuva! Kako što veli Marti Nemko, ekspert za kariera i obrazovanie koj porano predaval na Univerzitetot na Kalifornija, Berkli, "postoi golem pritisok da se forsiraat decata." I toa e pričinata zošto ova parče hartija ništo ne znači denes i kade na drugo mesto najdobro se izrazuva, ako ne na vašata plata? Dodeka kvalitetot na obrazovanie rapidno opagja, cenata što treba da ja plakjaat studentite za nego, od druga strana, raste prebrzo. Kako što pokažuva amerikanskata statistika, dve tretini od site studenti gi napuštaat koledzite so ogromni zaemi. No, koga kje dojde red tie da rabotat, nivnata cena e niska, zatoa što diplomata od nivniot skap koledz ne vredi na pazarot na trud. Postoi edna pogovorka vo Slovačka koja veli: "Glupavite se srekjni." I jas sum sé povekje ubeden deka toa e sveta vistina!

Hlúpi majú šťastie... by Barbora Misakova

Práve včera som sa rozprávala s rodičmi o vysokoškolskom štúdiu a o hroznej kvalite, ktorú na Slovensku má. Kým ja som vyjadrovala svoje nekonečné sklamanie a pohŕdanie vysokoškolským systémom, moji rodičia sa vracali späť do čias socializmu a spomínali na obdobie, kedy ukončenie vysokej školy nebolo až také jednoduché. Vyštudovať na univerzite nebola veru hračka, pretože vtedy vám nedal nikto nič zadarmo! Ak ste neboli dostatočne inteligentní a nevedeli efektívne používať svoj mozog a l! ogické myslenie, mali ste skrátka smolu. Kým počas 70. rokov 20. storočia bol bakalársky titul raritou, dnes je to práve naopak. Bakalárom je dnes takmer každý! No azda najhoršia na tom je skutočnosť, že len málokto si ho skutočne zaslúži. A to je jeden z hlavných dôvodov, prečo cena akéhokoľvek titulu či vyššieho vzdelania na trhu práce klesá. Ako povedal Marty Nemko, kariérny a vzdelávací expert, ktorý učil na U.C. Berkley Graduate School of Education, v súčasnosti je „obrovský nátlak, pretlačiť deti cez toto štúdium.“ Aj preto dnes už tento kus papiera nič neznamená. A kde inde sa to najlepšie prejaví, ako na výške vášho platu? Kým však kvalita vzdelania rapídne klesá, cena, ktorú musia &#! 353;tudenti za ňu platiť, na druhej strane neust! 5;le ras tie. Ako ukazujú výsledky mnohých amerických štatistík, až dve tretiny všetkých študentov opúšťajú univerzitu zadlžení. Avšak ani po nástupe do práce, nie je ich hodnota o nič vyššia. Cena, za ktorú si vykúpili vysokoškolský titul mnohonásobne prevyšuje ich skutočnú hodnotu na pracovnom trhu. A to je viac ako smutné! Je to priam tragikomické! U nás na Slovensku sa hovorí, že hlúpi majú šťastie, a ja tomu začínam čoraz viac veriť!

Stupid ones are lucky ones by Barbora Misakova

It was just yesterday what I was talking to my parents about college studies and its terrible condition here in Slovakia. While I was expressing my disappointment from its quality, my parents were casting their minds back to the socialism when pass the exam was not so easy as today. Studying wasn’t piece of cake as it is today, as there was no one who would give you anything for free. If you didn’t have intelligence and you were not able to effectively use your brain, you couldn’t pass it. While during 1970s was bachelor’s degree a rarity, today it is nothing special. Everyone has a bachelor’s degree, but the saddest thing on it is that not eve! ryone really deserves it! As Marty Nemko, a career and education expert who used to teach at U.C. Berkley’s Graduate School of Education, says: “There is tremendous pressure to push kids through.” And that is the reason why this piece of paper means nothing today and where else does it show the best as on your salary? While quality of education is falling rapidly, the price students have to pay for it is on the other hand growing too fast. As the US statistics show, two-thirds of all students leave college with outstanding loans. But when they get to the work world their price is low as their expensive college degree is actually worthless in job market. There is such a saying here in Slovakia that says: “Stupid ones are lucky ones.” And I am still more and more confident, it is a holy truth!
