At least in China the young entitled assholes still have to be smart.

Actually pretty interesting article. Exemplifies three prominent problems in China:

Inflated housing
Entitled children (It's impossible for a working adult to buy a house, so they must rely on parents)
Chinese parents driving children towards excessive levels of academia

Discuss. Do it now!

The Chinese parents exemplifies the stereo type on higher expectations of their children.

Where is the "when you were 5, I was 6" picture?

 

[TecHNooB]

that's the problem with pursuing a phd in pure math instead of applied math

"If I graduate with a PhD, but don’t even have my own house, what’s the point of having a Ph.D?"
So intelligent, yet so lacking in wisdom.

 

[Rage187]

Do they not have signing bonuses in China? You figured some corp would be bank rolling him for a guarantee of a work commitment. I guess they realize he is too immature.

 

[RavenSEAL]

A PHD in mathematics? What the fuck is the point of that?

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Being a prodigy just means he has a head start anyways, doesn't necessarily mean he will end up be anything remarkable in any field. It seems he cant fully take advantage of this head start because he is still too immature.

 

[Bill Brasky]

A PHD in mathematics? What the fuck is the point of that?

This. Pure mathematics was a poor choice.

 

[The_Dude8]

A PHD in mathematics? What the fuck is the point of that?

To count all those benjammins he will be making after he graduates.

Can't be. This guy doesn't just think he's smart, he's actually smart.
