There are too many Brits going to university as it is . I don ' t see a good future for the uneducated . The lauded apprenticeship system in Germany is closer to higher education . It isn ' t the same thing as apprenticeships in the UK . Useless degrees does not mean being uneducated is a good idea . The market is likely to demand skills from people not less . <| sep |> Most immigrants tend to remember their roots , while their children , who have been educated by the country ' s school system , only had friends in the new country , etc . , seem to be more assimilated and identify as part of their new home country . This is even more true when emigration was done willingly . So , I guess I would say that you can call people American when they were born and raised in the USA , as well as fell American .
