Chapter 66 Advice
Compared to Lipp, who has a choice, other children of the same age who live in the South District, whether boys or girls, do not have the choice of Lipp, and they can get out of poverty.
The highest ceiling of those children living in the South District in their lives is probably the graduation certificate of the dilapidated public high school. In the United States, where the class is serious, the graduation certificate of the public high school is useless to get it in society, and the upward channel is almost completely blocked.
"Even if there are a lot of scholarship loans, Lipp, you are very smart and will definitely find a way to fool the government." Professor Hurst patted Lipp on the shoulder.
Professor Hurst is really optimistic about Lip. He is good at studying, but he is not that kind of nerd. He knows how to adapt. Lip actually knows how to help others take the exam. And he has not been discovered by the school so many times, which is enough to show a lot of things.
You should know that it is not that easy to help others take the exam, such as how to get the admission ticket, how to get into the exam room, and for example, Lip is a white person, but the person who helps take the exam is a black person, or even a woman. There are many twists and turns in it, not that taking the exam is just as simple as an exam.
"It sounds like a lot of trouble if you fool the government," Lipp said.
"That's better than another road. Is that girl your girlfriend?" Professor Hurst said, looking at Karen behind him.
"Girlfriend, it should...because?" Lipp said uncertainly.
"Karen is my daughter," Frank said.
"Huh?" Professor Hurst was stunned by this complicated relationship.
"Ahem, my goddaughter, no blood relationship." Frank coughed twice.
"Whatever, do you know what's easy to happen in high school, especially in public high schools like South District."
"If you get pregnant with your girlfriend, or if you get pregnant with someone else's girlfriend, she will say that it is an accident, but you will always wonder if it is an accident on purpose."
"Then, it may be that the girl intentionally or she may not have money to have an abortion. The child will be born. If you cruelly refuse to admit it, you can still live your own life, but most people will change it."
"For example, after graduation, you will go to a fast food restaurant or supermarket to find a job to support the whole family. If you are lucky, you will become an assistant supervisor and a small management team before you are thirty. If you have been suppressed for a long time and find the wrong person to vent, you will be fired, and then you will never find a serious and long-term job again."
"At that time, you'll sit in the bar, drink cheap beer, complain about the society, complain about the government." Professor Hurst's words reminded Frank of the people in the Ailebour Bar.
"But you know that you have not realized your potential and you shouldn't live like this, but you can't change all this, and the only way to numb your mind and lose your talent is spirits and d'oes."
"Of course, who knows in the future? Maybe you will have other opportunities to meet noble people, but this probability is lower than the probability of winning ten times in a lottery."
"But you are so smart, and you are likely to continue to challenge the boundaries of the law. Just like taking the exam, if you are lucky, you may escape to other countries and never come back. If you are unlucky, you can only sleep in prison or be slept by a man."
"Don't think that after breaking the law, you will never be discovered. What the world lacks the most are smart people and those who think they are smart." Professor Hurst said.
What Professor Hurst said is very realistic and very real, and is a common portrayal of most people living at the bottom of the class, and what he said is already very tactful.
"It seems that you are a professor of philosophy. If you want to help the problematic boy, the prodigal son will turn back." Lipp said.
"Professor, how many children like Lip choose to continue to go to school?" Frank asked with a frown.
Professor Hurst has definitely met many children as a part-time examiner for the college entrance examination, especially those who are excellent and smart like Lip.
"Not enough, I advised many people, many geniuses like Lip, but they all proudly thought that their lives would be different from others, and they were stupid and unwilling to break out of the vicious circle of fate." Professor Hurst replied.
"How do people like me answer?" Lipp asked.
"They told me to get out of here," said Professor Hurst.
"Let me do this, I'll have a lesson later. If you want to, you can go and take a look. If you don't want to listen, we have the best robot laboratory in the country. You can... just take a walk." Professor Hurst glanced at his watch and said.
"Remember to use condoms, Lipp, I believe this sentence. Your father has warned you many times." Professor Hurst patted Lipp on the shoulder and turned to class.
Frank and the other two walked around the University of Chicago for a few times and went to see Professor Hurst's class. Anyway, Frank couldn't understand anything.
On the way home, Lip and Karen had no changes and were still chatting and joking. Professor Hurst actually said that the exam was fine, so he could rest assured. As for the proposal to skip the grade next semester, Lip took it seriously.
However, Frank was silent, thinking about the tuition fee.
If possible, Frank really wants Lip to seize the opportunity and skip the grade next semester to go to the University of Chicago, but there is really no money in terms of tuition fees.
If possible, Frank wants to help Lip apply for a scholarship loan in his own name, but the special nature of the scholarship loan must be to pay tuition fees and students going to school can apply.
Even if Frank wanted to take out a loan, Frank had no stable job and income, and had no property under his two names. The name of the house he lived in was the name of Jinji, who had been dead for more than ten years. No bank would give Frank a loan at all.
"Money...Money..." Frank sighed heavily.
Even if I missed this opportunity if I didn’t go to the University of Chicago this time, what about the future?
Lipp can still go to high school for a year and a half, and after a year and a half, he will graduate from high school and still have to go to college, unless Lipp stops studying after graduating from high school and goes straight to find a job.
Frank definitely did not allow that kind of thing to happen. This time he met Professor Hurst, Frank realized more clearly how smart Lipp was.
Professor Hurst saw that he was a rich, famous, successful professor. He would not say so much at all when he said so much to Lip today, and he advised Lip to be optimistic about Lip, and regretted this genius.
Therefore, Frank definitely does not allow Lip to go to work after graduation, and Lip must go to school.
However, the tuition fees of prestigious schools are not usually expensive. Including the messy fees, it costs at least tens of thousands of dollars in a year.
