Also, the fuck they didn't. They learned patience (have to listen to/discuss other people's questions even if they're stupid to you) and the ability to do tasks that are boring/tedious/something you've already done before - 2 qualities that are excellent to have when working. If you're used to picking things up quickly, learning to handle boring and tedious environments is probably the best skill you could take out of your schooling. How many meetings have we all sat in where we just have to sit there until somebody important reaches the conclusion we reached in 10 minutes?

- Mezzie 3y agoGood clarification, thanks!

- Mezzie 3y agoThe average kid who is that bright or in that situation is not being asked to work a check-out line. We recognize that it isn't an efficient use of their talent. That kid is doing side projects or taking internships. They have to pick up some patience somewhere.
