As another Spaniard I agree with you. But degrees about tourism can get you a job here. As I am learning English, I would suggest: Use "at length",don't repeat finish so many times, finish (complete, get, achieve) a degree, become pointless (become less valuable, worthless), which (that) is what I now best. About grade inflation in the US: http://www.gradeinflation.com/,

https://blog.prepscholar.com/average-college-gpa-by-major it seems that Grade inflation is more rampant in non-STEM fields because assignments are usually more open to interpretation,

No problem, since I'm learning Japanese while living in Tokyo I've lost quite a bit of English. Repetition is your friend here as it's the only way to be able to speak with 90+% of the people and for them to understand. Thanks for the tips, improved it a bit :)

Thanks for being so open, I know I shouldn't give suggestions but watch out for karoshi culture, overwork and burnout, surely you should be able to cope with all that.

I typed that from the beach, that's why it was so badly worded; so don't worry about karoshi :)

I don't mind and take everything with a grain of salt, but you are right, it'd not be good for most people.

As a non-native English speaker, these suggestions are very bad.

Every single one of them, if implemented, would make the original post worse and the phrasing more awkward.

I may be wrong in this (I'm not a native speaker after all), but at least take it into account as an counterpoint of the above...

Generally you avoid repetition in english, particularly when writing. It’s more of a stylistic thing so no one will misunderstand you if you don’t.
