023 - Do we really need education?!

Russian With Max
About this episode

Привет всем!

Today I want to talk about education in general. In Russia we still have the idea that if you want to succeed, you have to have a higher education. However, our life is changing, and many young people cannot find a decent job after 4-5 years of study. 

What is the problem? 

Do we really need education?

What skills should we have to be successful?

What was the situation in the USSR? 

Let's discuss it!
