It is an interesting question and does have alot enquire or inquiry whichever and how spelt. Many countries have varies educational systems and the like. Needs probably vary accordingly i assume since the question withn the topic is present. Which would be normal i would hope but who knows. Given in the fact of that to say at least, that tech is more used, on a prior interest, what would be of use of course later might have its own interest and questions of sorts. Why?, Who knows... Of course though to say that pen and paper still isnt as good, what any tech of use from the use of pen and paper still might find its interest within the ideas of any continued education or career interest. Varying of interest of course.
Does take time to learn and time spent to know what is learned, let alone what it was. Or something like that. In terms of marketing to say, not many sites in its direction like terms. Be nice, cause could of a tech reference for the interest maybe. Which probably doesnt make sense, but i get tired of the ads in an article from time to time. Probably like anyone else. Obviously last thing to think of though in terms of the question and what it would be of interest in maybe, but not best said though.
Still be American to say, does give its rewards , No? When going for something that is of interest or fitting for what might of need for now or later. Even though Americans tend to have the least amount of hours of schooling education. Needing something to work for 4 yrs is probably bad enough for most Americans let alone additionals yrs for what would be higher educations to say, let alone with "tech" think in more in terms of computing even though it varies of course. Given standard American educational systems of course.
Newer tech does come out though alot on a side note though, so 4yrs probably isnt to bad to think of too much.
