Parent is talking about graduate degrees. You are talking about undergraduate degrees.

That's a lot to ask of an undergrad

bfeynman Apr 5, 2025 View on HN

undergrad and graduate school are completely different...?

This isn't very true for undergrad.

You obviously never attended graduate school :)

Probably more true for grad school than undergrad.

I think the discussion here is mainly of undergraduate degrees.
