FP, selectivity and Queen anthem

The young people who took the eligibility test yesterday (excuse the old terminology, but that’s what I did and it’s hard to call it EBAU) are people with many flaws and virtues. More or less the same as those of us who passed the same test a few decades ago. But among what we might call a little “against”, their best flaw and worst truly singular virtue is that they have learned not to be patient. Now that I think about it, it’s not as different as my generation used to sing Queen of the Queen. “I want it all and I want it now” as if there is no tomorrow. Although we want and want everything now, when we ran out of places in the faculty, which was our first option to enter the University, then we were called “clausus number one” because the mark of selectivity did not “give” us, you ran. to the faculty next door, where they don’t get that many pejigueros by grade. There was no alternative: either to go to college or to go to college. How did you explain to your parents in those days that you would not accept this social rise, which was vetoed in the vast majority of cases, and that it opened up as a unique opportunity for their social and economic development? kids? Today, not going to college is not a tragedy, but rather there are many students who see it as an advantage. The education star of the moment, the bridges being built between VET and university studies mean that finding an alternative to a degree in less space has become the world’s easiest job. You select a “cycle” familiarly and without a pejorative tone, and then re-enroll in the associated university degree. Or you don’t re-register because you entered the business world through the front door from FP. True or false, a significant portion of those who took the EBAU exams yesterday think that new vocational training offers more job opportunities than university education. It’s not entirely fair, because it depends on what you study: your job prospects have AP cycles that are just as valuable as some college degrees. It wasn’t like that in the past. In my industry, Information Sciences, I know great graduates who could become great doctors, psychologists, or even engineers or economists. There was no room for them in the faculty for their original purpose, and they ended up on the “dark side” as journalists (this is a professional joke, I’m sorry, it’s kind of “asshole” from my union). But then no one would have thought that VT was the solution to a frustrated first option. Works that were later devalued were unfairly devalued, meaning those who started them had to go down many floors in the social elevator. Probably because you later realized it was a big lie, of course.. But at the time, even though we sang the aforementioned Freddy Mercury band anthem (yes, that singer in the movie…), we had more patience than we thought.. They don’t want to wait now. And they do very well. They have the right to want it all and to want it now.
