The ignorance and arrogance of anyone in any field assuming that (1) his or her field is the only field “worth” studying, and that everybody not studying and working in that field is “a loser”; (2) the notion that anyone in this field is a “winner” and everybody else is a “loser”: and (3) the assumption that that field will produce and deserves to produce permanent and instant wealth – that’s what’s disgusting.
That obnoxious and offensive attitude on the part of two of my students this admissions cycle, and one student two cycles ago, earned them massive college admissions rejections. If they keep up that attitude during their job search, they can expect the same results. I think at least one of the three learned some rapid humility.
