We can laugh at academia but we know of these similar rejection stories nearly in all domains. AirBnB being rejected for funding, musicians like Schubert struggling their entire life, writers like Rowling in poverty. Rejection will always b

Your statement is not backed up by data and simply wishing it should happen isn’t a strong argument. You probably have a narrow definition of “most people” (probably some motivated high school or undergraduate student) and too loose with wh
