TASK 2
ReplyDelete2. In Spain, now people do not many degrees but they do vocational trainings, because in many jobs they no longer ask for a degree.
3. I think there are many degrees that are overvaluated, and that you can learn uch more by doing a vocational training and accesing interchips.
4. I would do a vocational training in IT, because, nowadays, has many outingsbut as a degree I would make education
5. I think that private universities are too expensives for people who do not have resources and who want to go to university.
6. I think that doing a vocational training you are very well prepared to able to work.
7. I think the future is IT, and i do not know what degree you have to avoid, but you should always do what you like.
