It was similar for me! I was bored and put an UwU down on the canvas at the beginning of the event and it survived almost until the end! People kept repairing it too and put the rainbow road below without destroying it. In the end the space got repurposed for a cute pony which is for the best x3
I’m very surprised how long it lasted though! This community is so nice!
German here, I think the degree needed for getting a good job mostly depends on your study subject. One friend of mine studied chemistry at university and said that a PhD is required for a good job while another friend of mine studied computer science and got hired before even finishing his Bachelor’s degree. The company helped him in finishing his Bachelor’s degree while employing him.
I studied math and got a Master of science, currently doing my PhD while working as a research assistant. I hear most math students leave uni after getting their Bachelor’s, similar to computer science students. Though it still wasn’t easy to get a research job for me. I think even within a study subject it depends on your field of research whether getting a job is easy or not.
