Any portuguese anons here? I have a question, are the babyboomer portuguese/older gen portuguese more inclined to think education is shit? Portugal has the lowest literacy rate of any European nation and is at the same level of many 3rd world nations because of an entire gen of Portuguese under Salazar didn't get educated. I ask this because my father is an immigrant from Portugal and he keeps thinking college education is worthless ( major in MechEng). He constantly tells me to quit college to work some manual labor job. He is fucked in the head and a huge alcoholic but I am wondering if this is the common theme among older portuguese people. Do they think college education is worthless because they grew up in an agrarian culture unlike other europeans who value higher education?
