In Germany, it is not humiliating to be a mechanic. They also enjoy the reputation and respect of other "higher occupations" in society. In the eyes of Germans, what everyone does is just a different division of labor. Technicians also have a high income. The income of 2000-3000 euros for ordinary technicians is no worse than that of college graduates, and it is better to find a job.

Disney strategy believes that an ideal team must have the following three roles: thinker, critic and doer.

The thinker just imagines, thinks about strategy and puts forward all kinds of suggestions, even if they are impractical; Critics specialize in critical work, examine the thinker's suggestions from different angles, and find the best; Doers build implementable plans from the optimized suggestions of critics, and turn the strategic intention of thinkers into reality.

A team is like this, an enterprise is like this, and a country is no exception.

German society is an ideal "Disney team" structure. Germany does not lack critics, which is first due to the rational attitude of the public towards criticism. More importantly, German education encourages students to think independently, not blindly follow authority and think from multiple angles. Pluralistic thoughts have created a multicultural society.

[Germany today]

Because of the diversity of society, Germany has produced a group of great philosophers, educators, sociologists, psychologists and legal and economic scholars, such as Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Leibniz, Weber, Humboldt, von der, oken, Bohm and so on. These people who look up to the stars are radiant and have contributed valuable spiritual heritage and wealth to Germany and even all mankind.

[Germany has never lacked technicians]

In addition to critics and thinkers, German doers have a large number of talents. They have created the world-famous "made in Germany" with exquisite workmanship and technology. Although Germany has experienced wind and rain, made in Germany has made the German economy grow steadily and firmly supported the crisis in Europe. The euro zone is still standing, thanks to German manufacturing.

The reason why made in Germany is so strong is that the country has accumulated rich "craftsman" resources, including engineers, senior technicians and ordinary technicians. German craftsman spirit is rigorous, standardized and meticulous. It is stipulated that the screw needs to be screwed five times, and they will never screw four and a half times. Both engineers and ordinary technicians have unique skills. Some are inherited from their ancestors, but more come from vocational schools, technical schools and even applied technology universities all over Germany. In addition, the training of German industry associations and on-the-spot training within enterprises are also very common.

The question is, why are so many Germans willing to work as technicians instead of pursuing college diplomas?

The first reason is that in Germany, it is not humiliating to be a mechanic. They also enjoy the reputation and respect of other "higher occupations" in society.

In the eyes of Germans, what everyone does is just a different division of labor. Whether politicians, educators, entrepreneurs, engineers or technicians, they are just different occupations, and there is no honor or inferiority. The German word "occupation" means vocation or the call of God. Everyone's occupation is sacred in the sense of "vocation". Because of this, Germans work seriously and responsibly, and can calm down to do their own work.

The second reason is that technicians also have a high income. The income of 2000-3000 euros for ordinary technicians is no worse than that of college graduates, and it is better to find a job.

Senior technicians are the treasure of the enterprise. Their income is higher. It is no longer necessary to support their family. They can also buy a house, a car and enjoy a high-quality life. Even if you are a breadwinner, you can also go abroad for vacation or focus on your hobbies, such as famous wine collection, antique calligraphy and painting collection, which are not "patents" enjoyed only by people with higher education. Graduates from vocational schools are also talents. They also have the opportunity to be sent abroad to work and enjoy high wages and overseas subsidies. A friend of mine worked in Xinke global freight after graduating from the technical school. After working for several years, he was sent to Beijing and Shanghai as the technical director respectively. He can not only save a lot of money, but also invite his parents to travel to China every year.

The third reason is that the education channel in Germany is very smooth for anyone and at any time. If people engaged in technicians want to "change the runway", they can also apply to enter the University of Applied Technology for further study, and get a master's diploma recognized by the state after graduation.

Of course, you can also apply for a comprehensive university to study for a master's degree and a doctor's degree after obtaining "Abitur" (complete secondary school diploma). There is no age limit for going to school in Germany, which is a typical example of never too old to learn. Therefore, it is not surprising to see white haired old men and women in college classes.

Because Germans have the concept of universal equality, technicians also enjoy high income and can enter colleges and universities at any time for further study, many Germans prefer to be technicians rather than compete for university diplomas. Because of this, Germany has not only many thinkers who "look up to the stars", but also a large number of "down-to-earth" doers.
