And most of the students nowadays come to school and come to in class, but they don’t show up because my classes are in the evening and they say, oh, there is such and such meeting with Deloitte, such and such meeting with IBM, such and such meeting with some. So they’re just there to get a job. They’re not there to learn. So their priority is to secure the job. And that’s a problem.
I do a lot of reading. You can read a book, but you can’t put it up your wall. (like a degree) and I don’t know if it’s the Asian DNA I have within me, but that’s what I’m saying. You want to put it on the wall. That’s a different story!
