Somehow scary to see the f-word so many times. Okay, got it, he wants to look "cool."

And yes, quite a few Thais, including teachers believe that an engineer's a car mechanic or anything that would be a "Chang" in Thai. 

 

 Leonardo Da Vinci's knowledge in mechanical engineering was superb, the hang-glider and a machine similar to a helicopter.

 

   Haven't heard of a Thai  Vinci yet...

many of my students want to study engineering - they think it's cool. But press them and they really don't k ow what engineers do. Even if they do get qualified, they often end up in positions of testing equipment, but not really developing their own stuff. 

 

Too many parents push their kids into directions they do not want to go. Many get pushed into medicine and end up dropping out after a few years - the internship here is tough, as well. Only those who really want to be doctors will survive it.

Imo most Thai schools are just utterly bad in all aspects.  They undermine a student's ability to learn.

If it is not on their phone apps.. then they can learn finger dancing.. just think somebody in Korea is laughing..watch how we can make them play with the hands.. and dumb them down.
