I agree with ya.

But this statement:

>" it should be easier "

applies to literally everything in existence :P

challenges are good-- they result in growth.

I a Wired article about a team of poor Latino high schoolers who won a prestigious submersible competition. Brilliant kids.

I don't think any of them became engineers. One of them ran a catering business, for instance, which is more in line with his background.

Is that growth?

What makes you think that they should become engineers? Just because they're brilliant they're supposed to work in engineering?
