Same here; I was referring to the majority of students for whom "getting out of here with high grades" is their motivation.

On HN, I imagine a significant number of us here are sufficiently motivated to learning even without anyone to remind them of its importance.

What a sad way to live, and I wouldn't hire one of them, either.

I found the course catalog at college to be exciting reading, and was frustrated to be only able to take a small fraction of what was available.

I remember several "aha!" moments where suddenly I understood something that had always baffled me, and felt like I'd been given the keys to the universe.
