>that guy who always complains about the course not being "hard" or "challenging"

Literally me.

>Why do they do this

Because they aren't being challenged and want to learn more.

In Academia, you can always going into a permanent holding position as a post doc praying for tender. If you're good, then you'll might become a professor.

In Industry, a PhD in physics is as worthless as the piece of paper it's printed on and means nothing in itself. Going to grad school and dropping out after a few years (on good terms) is just as employable. It's WHAT you did for those 5 years and how you sell it. For example, if you just work with, designed, and/or modified cyclotrons, then Biotech firms are going to eat you up and pay you a fuckton of cash. If you did something like solid state, then you should at least take some complementary engineering type electives to help transition to industry research/work in that field. If you did string theory, then enjoy working with the music and art majors at McDonalds for the rest of your life as do all people who majored in something as worthless to humanity.

I never studied up through and including college

>Primary School
No idea except for the vivid memories of get 99% in mathematics but the fucking teacher REFUSED to move up up to upper level mathematics because 99% isn't a perfect 100%. (I was multiplying numbers in kindergarten, 4 years before they tried to teach me it and intuitively discovered, on my own, complement (10's) subtraction by addition..)[/jaded]

>Middle school 1st year
Didn't give much shit
A's in Math and Science
F's in Music (teacher was out to get me)
B-A's everywhere else

>Middle school 2nd year
A's in honor Algebra I
Getting in fights and general school trolling got me expelled so I never got any other grades

>High School Years 1 & 2
Still expelled
A'AA+++'s in Playing Video Game all day long and doing whatever the fuck I want all night long.

>HS Junior and Senior Years
Fucking freed of the asshole psychologist that kept rallying that my expulsion remain in effect
Trigonometry A
Honors Calculus A
Chem and AP Chem A
Honors Physics A
Everything else A

>University - First year
Didn't know what to do, took default courses
English 101 W
American Politics B+
Everything else A

>University - Second year
Still can't decide what to major in so overload and all take 2nd year chem/physics/math/CompE courses
B+ in Honors Organic Chem and EE lab
A's in everything else

>University - 3rd/4th years
Fuck decided; major in Physics, Math, CompE
A's everywhere with 23~ credit course load every semester
