Careers obtained from science degrees have bigger salaries in Denmark. It would be a good investment to pursue it.The pursuit of any degree would be effected, because the more people that have a degree, the less valuable it is. Something is more valuable if fewer people have it, that's why things on Ebay go up in price as they go out of production.Lol this article is such a joke. For one thing, even despite Danish wages being higher after taxes, the Danes still pay more in taxes. That is how this education is paid for. Also, the premise of this article is so fallacious that it's laughable. It's claiming that the lack of pursuit in science degrees is BECAUSE tuition is free. That doesn't even make any sense. How do you not see that?Uh no actually. Denmark, economically, is superior to the US in many ways. The wages are overall higher. The percentage of people employed is higher. The average work week is shorter. It's the number one country to do business.Wow Rush talks about people like that.....you proved him right.
First thank you for admitting CHAVEZ was a huuuuuuge failure
But socialism doesn't work......because you can't have a country with most people on the government dole...even Scandinavia countries are going through austerity...
Not true.
Free Universities And No Student Loan Debt Is Hurting Denmark's Economy

No tuition fees and generous grants give young Danes an opportunity that would make most green with envy -- a university education without a massive debt yoke.

But many, in both industry and politics, feel it's become a free lunch that's giving indigestion to Scandinavia's already weakest economy.
Too many pursue "fulfilment" and too few the science and engineering degrees needed in well-paid growth sectors critical for the nation's future, they say.
Typical is 23-year-old Ali Badreldin, who is enrolled at the Royal Danish Academy of Music to become a saxophone player. "Music was always part of my life growing up so it was a natural choice," he said.
His courses are free and he gets a monthly stipend of 5,839 DKK (782 euros, $1,074) in a system where class sizes are rarely limited.
The result has Denmark spending more proportionally on education than any other country in the OECD club of 34 advanced nations.
Yet biotech firms like Novozymes say they cannot find enough engineers.
Engineering opportunities have soared in recent years in Denmark, but its youth have shunned the sector, with only one-third the OECD average contemplating an engineering career amid top-heavy enrolment in arts and humanities programmes.
