W:(12)I don’t think it really matters what your educational background is. Anyone who is hard-working is going to do well whatever their education. In fact, I think some people carry on with their education when they would do a lot better to get out and start building their own careers by learning things in real life.
M: Yes, but the whole point is, life is getting so much more complicated these days that unless you carry on with your studies you just can’t cope.
W: For certain things and certain people, that’s OK.(13)But to my mind, the big problem in education is that you specialize too quickly. I mean, in England, you start specializing from the third year in secondary school, when you’re about 14. You either do languages, or natural sciences, or social sciences.
M: But surely you have to—you can’t possibly study everything because there’s just too much.
W: Yes, but how many kids at that age really know what they want to do? How many of them are convinced that the three subjects they’ve chosen are the ones that will let them follow the careers they eventually decide on?
M: Oh,(14)I think most young people who stay on at school have a fair idea of what they want to do.
W: I’m not so sure. And after all, that’s not the end of it.(15)When they get to university in England, the subjects they study are so narrow that they are only good for one thing, so they are stuck with it.
M: Come on, Joan. We have had many excellent scientists under this system.
