"Most of my parents' friends and their children are graduates. But that doesn't mean they managed to find the job they wanted. On the contrary: they graduated from a university only because someone once said, when universities seemed important, that those who have a degree can make it in life. And the excellent gardeners, bakers, antiquarians, masons and writers disappear one by one.

Most of my parents' friends and their children are graduates. But that doesn't mean they managed to find the job they wanted. On the contrary: they graduated from a university only because someone once said, when universities seemed important, that those who have a degree can make it in life. And the excellent gardeners, bakers, antiquarians, masons and writers disappear one by one.
""A szüleim barátainak és az ő gyerekeiknek is a nagy része diplomás. De ez nem jelenti azt, hogy sikerült olyan munkát találniuk, amilyet szerettek volna. Éppen ellenkezőleg: elvégeztek egy egyetemet csak azért, mert valaki egyszer, amikor az egyetemek fontosnak tűntek, azt mondta, hogy az érvényesülhet az életben, akinek van diplomája. És sorra tűnnek el a kiváló kertészek, pékek, antikváriusok, kőművesek és írók."
