NEET

NEET? What is it? Its Japanese English! One day one of the teachers asked "what do you want to be in the future?". Most students gave the usual, "I want to be a engineer, doctor, teacher, etc" but one student wrote "I want to be NEET". I thought it was a mispelling of the word "neat" but it didn't make sense, so I asked my teacher. He said it is short for ... "Not in Education, Employment, or Training". Wow, I thought that is a neat answer.
