So I just realized that College isn't the same thing as University in the US... - Page 2

Doctors go to post grad, which is another four years after doing 4 in the general college courses.

I don't know. It was so long ago that I first formed the impression of you being british that I can't remember why I thought you were lol

Colleges are after HS. University is the highest form of schooling directly out of hs, in terms of degrees or better careers. The average degree is 4 years for a Master's, and up to 7+ for Doctorate's. Most people go to community college (2-4 years) because it's A LOT cheaper, but you won't get as good of a career. Some also take CC for cheaper general Ed classes, then transfer to a University.
Short answer is no, they aren't different or required. Especially in today's world...degrees don't really matter anymore. Or at least are on a steady down hill climb

I actually think that's a better system. I wish I'd had a couple more years of general education before I'd chosen my majors/profession, I think I would have had a better idea of what I actually wanted to do and not wasted time and money chasing something I eventually realised I didn't want to do. And it would've been cool to study some arts subjects like a language, history, politics, literature, etc.. instead of just maths/science...

I like studying/learning for its own sake though, a lot of people just wanna get their qualification ASAP and get a job... in that case the European/Australian system would be better

They have a very dry sense of humor, the Brits.
