He was only after the name of Seoul National. Screw the education. Korean college kids party anyway and no one seems to care. And after school and military service, I will carry the name with me and make good money no matter what I do. I was disappointed, but I understood his take on it.
College is just a party before going into military service.
Korean college kids drink alcohol like we eat Pizza Ring. This mindset formed part of the educational system in Korea. It was strange to see such a system and attitude towards education within a society and country that wanted the best of every world. Speaking from a perspective within the American system, however, Korean education is a remnant of the nation's past. Meanwhile, the college entrance exam help centers are sucking in cash and bars are getting paid good rent from college students.
