No. What I was trying to say is that in the past, people were aware of the situation. When their children wanted to go to university, their parents often encouraged them to learn a language other than their mother tongue, in high school, so that they would have a competitive edge over others when they got to university. For example, if my daughter decided to become a lawyer, and she was unilingual, but was considering the possibility of potentially being appointed to the court, she might wish to learn another language.
