Guest: The Polish students are incredibly educated, generally know multiple languages and have a decent amount working experience by the time they graduate.
Yes, many are incredibly educated but one can also take a critical look at the statement. I say this because I have met students from different areas of study and they (this is not a scientific statement but rather a personal opinion) have really good theoretical knowledge and ability to memorize. Still, they seem to have issues about using the skills they have learned.
I once had a roommate and one day I asked 'How are you doing?' and her reply was 'Sorry, what?'. She had a near 100% exam result on English grammar but still...
Another example of this was with a Polish business student who is really good at exams, but still had hard time recognizing issues in real business situation.
The September issue (2008) of Poland Monthly mentions the lack of innovation in Poland. Results can be achieved 'just' by investing in more modern technology rather than coming up with some truly novel way of doing things. I think this also applies to the work market in Poland: it is mostly technical processing requiring technical skills that require little innovation.
This I have also found out when looking for a job in Poland, it is mostly 'technical' kinda work what is needed in the market right now.
