Don't worry, mom. They'll get plenty of money from Government-san when they start having babies.

really?, although I don't want to bring up stereotypes, Asians tend to describe their parents as strict and put a very high pressure on school, career and family. [...]
I might phase it wrong. He didn't say it's a big portion of each generation that join workforce without degree, but it is not that rare that one should be surprising to hear. Remember I said retiring? It might come from the past and probably unfit to the present.

But I think it's worth considering that Japan have quite unique working culture there. His generation might have that famous lifelong employment guarantee. Many of work that don't require degree there might have semi-apprentice system. I did heard that Japan have quite narrow wage gap between manual and management, but can't find source to confirm. What I can find is that theirs Gini coefficient is fairly low, mean leass income inequality.

To summarize, I just want to say that we don't quite know enough about their culture to judge the mother's opinion.

Very true...

In Corporate America, which is all I know about, you need that college degree paper to move into management of any kind, even the lowest level of management. It doesn't have to apply to the job either, it can be a BA in Philosophy, you just have to have it.

And, as you pointed out, the wage difference between management and workers is important too. Here, in Corporate America, the wage dichotamy can be extremely great between management and workers, especially with middle or upper level management. Every day corporate slaves can be getting barely a couple dollars more than a McDonald's worker. But lower levels of management can be pushing six digits depending on the business and such.

But if this is radically different in Japan, I can see Mama Ooyama's sanguine attitude about her son's decision to enter the workforce to be with Akutsu.

Its still a bad idea to not go to Uni. I mean sure if one has an actual plan about what they want to do and how they can achieve it then yeah Uni or college not a must. But If you only want to make money to support yourself and your "wife" then going to uni or college is better. Just go and get a WG with her. Both of them do a part time job until he finishes and then they can actually look for a good place to live at and stuff.

I am sorry but I still think that skipping college just because of your HS girlfriend is a fucking stupid idea, you mean to tell me these two MUST live with each other at all cost ?
