January 13, 2010




A rather depressing day, around Bahnhof Oerlikon, kreis 11.

There was a huge earthquake on Haiti but there is no comment to give, it is simply just terrible.

In Sweden, university educations were previously allowed to have a gender quota and to strive to have half men, half women. After a recent court case they are no longer allowed to keep this quota. Among others, this quota was to to help the men keep some places in the agricultural sector. When the quota is gone it turns out that almost all educations get dominated by women as they generally have higher grades than men. Now when the majority of newly examined doctors are women and more and more engineers are women the salaries for those professions are falling. Women are always prepared to work for lower wages, good grades obviously doesn't necessarily make them smarter. So what shall we do about it? Encourage your daughters to become investment bankers! I am sure that will add some decency into that profession and make the salaries more down to earth or in the worst case, your daughters will finish rich.
