- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y agoWas it ever a competition for you? I’m French and don’t remember that kind of thing.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoI did all of my education post elementary school in the United States, specifically in Texas. Class space was limited in advanced subjects, and there are only so many scholarships to go around. If I had not gotten one, I am not sure if my family would have been able to afford college - which, regardless of we may think of the utility of higher education, definitely set me up with connections that set me on a career path that's currently supporting my family.

- pavel_lishin 2y agoThat's a good idea. You go first?
