Excerpt from a podcast-style YouTube video where Chris Collins recounts an anecdote about a Swedish photographer named Rita. Chris explains that in parts of Europe students choose vocational tracks around 10th grade (after 9th grade), such as architecture, and then spend subsequent years combining school with workplace mentorship/apprenticeship.
Yeah. You know too, I was, I was thinking about this when, when we were recording an episode of Books that changed my life the other day and Rita was on. You know Rita the photographer? I think so, yeah. Really good looking Swedish kid. He's been in here a couple times taking pictures. I'm sure you met him. I'm sure. So he, he came on and he was talking about how growing up in.
In Europe, the way that their education system works is that you only go to 9th grade, then in, basically in 10th grade you're going to vocational school. Oh, you gotta make a choice. And so he picked architecture. And then you go to school for a little while. But the, you know, year two, three and four and half of year one, I think the way I understood it is you're working, being mentored.
