I might have the wrong picture, but apparently here in Germany teachers and parents decide at a short age which of the three education and career paths their kid is to follow depending on how dumb / smart he is.

You can apparently switch tracks later on, but at a greater cost in time and effort, and the stigma and consequences of this will affect you during your whole professional life.

As a late bloomer myself I find it sickening that I'm contributing to such system with my taxes.
