Fully agree. I've seen a lot of people going into engineering for prestige or "by default" because they weren't bad at math. It always made me a little sad because I found a lot of the courses truly fascinating and eye-opening and I wanted to nerd out with my teammates!
Dang, I did not have the same experience in education! I'm thankful that the situation seems less dire where I'm from. Professors are quite well paid, definitely upper class; while tuition costs are less than 1k€ per year (with financial help available). As they are public institutions, Universities in Belgium do lack funds and their equipment/infrastructure is sometimes in a worse state than American or UK Unis. But still not too shabby!
Yeah I can understand that sitting on a desk all day, reading and taking exams is a pretty harrowing experience for most.
It looks like it's my personal tastes that allowed me to enjoy school. And I really did enjoy it! Hopefully other people find something to do that they love.
I wonder why they hated school. Maybe the problem was the school and not the topic? Otherwise I feel sad for them disliking the topic they chose as a career path :(
I feel like there's so much interesting stuff out there, there must be something useful that they find at least interesting.
Metal vocalists ~~hate~~ love him!
I wonder who's the artist behind the symbol
Ah, you're right 😋 1 in tens of thousands then
The best of the best of the country is not 1%, it's one in millions
Aah nice! Thanks for sharing.
As a Belgian, this is my position as well. Fries is part of the Belgian culinary culture, but it's chauvinism to claim they were invented in Belgium.
I agree. If there was no link in the mind of the author, why would Mama Bear answer this to Baby Bear's question?
