IIT Madras sends me a survey. Has a question about how many hours you work per week. It starts at 40 and ends at >100. Really? The minimum an IIT grad is supposed to be working is 40 hours/wk. What if I've, like, made it, and I don't need to put in that much work to survive. This whole notion that hard work (as opposed to working smart) is critical to your existence is absurd. And the whole survey is all about pushing students to work harder, spend more hours in "academic pursuits". But guess what... the world is changing. And there's more to life than just slogging on acads all your life!
