wahaha Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Regardless of bits of paper' date=' what impresses the hell of me is the two croatian lads writing here, Damn! I wish I could manage a foriegn language as well as they can[/quote'] That foreign language is easy. Chinese is.. impossible. Different inflections (tones/pitch), let alone trying to write it. Chinese don't even know their whole language and English is difficult for them because of the way they have to get their tongue around some letters. That's the language you should be concerned about; for business, in my case. As for education, some Chinese students spend 16 hours a day in class, middle school class, 15 years old! You can see why they might have a lead on education. When these kids goto school, they actually live at school! They get to go home on the weekend. I never went to many of their classes to see just how well they study though. But I saw them studying late into the night on campus. As late as 1:00am. In fact they had to shut the lights off, either to get them to goto sleep or to save money on electricity. I never found out. 你好，我是美国人。。你是谁？ 你懂我？ ni hao, wo shi mei guo ren.. ni shi shei? ni dong wo?

weareborg Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Have finished high school, start college in the summer studying A-levels. Then, hopefully i will go to university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Why everyone wants to learn, and why the schools push Spanish is beyond me. Chinese is the one you'll want to know. And I'm pretty set already hehe. But just learning Chinese doesn't set you up to do business with them. They're a weird society. Actually now every foreign student needs to know English to get into a school here. They test you. Just like China, if you don't know Chinese, you cannot enter college there. The US school system is messed up either way. They force you to learn irrelevant things that will not prepare you for life or to deal with other people and get a job. Like I said, I have no degree, yet, but have my own business and make more money than pretty much ANYONE who has a degree. Life lessons, and wanting to be independent. Having a degree is no guarantee you'll go anywhere in life. You have to have the brains to use it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Why everyone wants to learn, and why the schools push Spanish is beyond me. Chinese is the one you'll want to know. Snip Perhaps it's because most spanish-speaking people can't speak english very well.. of the exchange students from Spain I've met perhaps 1/10th can speak english well enogh to make conversation without misunderstanding the main topic. 2/10th simply can't speak english (and why the hell they get to follow an exchange program is beyond me!). Ah well, when they're in Denmark ½ of them pretty much only talk to spanish people... so what's the point of exchange for them? Sex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elderbear Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I'm in my first year of Computer Science, but i might be switching to art if i get into a certain art school. Carpe diem - but we need CS people who think differently. If you're an artist, your processes will differ from the average CS crowd - and you'll probably be a real asset to any well managed s/w development team. But if art is your passion ... follow your (he)art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beawulf Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 i'm currently doing a bachelor in mechanical engineering and space sciences which is rather interesting. Hoping to live the dream and get an interesting job with a space agency, probably europe. Doing my studies at the University of Queensland which is the world leader in scramjet technology among other things. I'll probably go for a phd at some stage, but maybe not straight away. whatever happens I am expecting to move overseas for work unless they finally build a launching facility far north Queensland. c'mon, make it so! :cyclops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
