As a recent grad from the USA, I'll say: There are always exceptions. If yo= u=20 don't set your standards by the standards of your class requirements or by= =20 the standards of your classmates, and set them instead by your own=20 capabilities, then the future is bright. I happen to LIKE this stuff, so I= =20 simply follow my whims to their manic conclusion and find that it puts me= =20 (well, when I was in school) miles ahead of my class. I call this setting m= y=20 standards, but actually I'm just lucky to have a personal interest in the= =20 area.
