      @@caglioso in capacity and role yes, but they are slightly different. A president of a university has to be elected or appointed. A chancellor is strictly appointed, although it can be done so by election. The major difference is the people appointing. A president would be appoint by a committee or board of directors within the school or country scholastic system. This can also include 3rd parties like the government, businesses, and individuals of wealth/influence. A chancellor will often be appointed by the governing body or invested party. Kingdoms and Dukedoms would appoint them within their region, or if the school was entirely privately funded then the investor/s would appoint them.
      Headmaster and Chancellor suffer a similar difference to. They are the same except a head master can be self-appointed, like if they owned the school themselves.

    I was once employed at a multi-billion dollar hardware company as an Intermediate Solder Technician for 60k/year. I had never once touched a Solder gun. First I applied by filling out almost nothing on their online application except my name and contact info then uploaded a flaky Resume on it. I had to bc I needed evidence to keep my Unemployment Check coming. They called me for an interview, which stunned me. What I did do was be myself at that interview. By that, I mean I answered EVERY singe interview question with something I did in World of Warcraft. I told them, I hate overtime, I don't manage my time well, I have no ambition. They hired me immediately. Turns out, 3 of 4 interviewers were hardcore MMORPG players from Everquest, Eve, and SWOTR.
    I was hired in October with 168 hours of vacation pay for the rest of the year. Which i burned through got my paid holidays and quit in Feb. It was pretty cool.

      No, you've got it exactly backwards. Getting into most elite schools, like Stanford, can be insanely difficult but once you're in it's not nearly the same challenge to stay. Grade inflation and Gentleman's Cs are real. Plus one of the metrics publications like US News & World Report use to rank colleges/universities is graduation rates. So many top tier schools are somewhat "incentivized" to not fail people. You might not have a very good GPA at the end of your time there, but you aren't likely to get the heave-ho unless you aren't trying at all.

    I've been a Big Head my entire career. Early on I put myself in the right place (San Francisco) at the right time (pretty much any time) and surrounded myself with smart and ambitious people. Poof, opportunity rained down on my head. All it took was letting go of my safe hometown situation and the dive bar, watching sports every weekend lifestyle. I'm not the smartest guy in the room or even the hardest working but I took some risks early on and that's really all it took. And now I get to go jump in my the pool with my dogs.

      So I was a CS student at my college, and literally, almost all the other students including myself used ThinkPads or other business-class notebooks with Linux installed or Windows with a Linux Virtual Machine. The kids with the gaming laptops and Macs who thought it was going to be hacker hijinks, and playing video games/partying all the time because they watched the Facebook movie and other tech movies that falsely portray the IT community were quick to drop out or change majors. On the other hand, though, the video production majors and recording arts majors all had Macbooks.

      I once asked a computer tech a similar question. He replied, "Why do macs only have a single button on their mouse? Because apple users are too fucking stupid to understand 'Right Click.'"

      Yes. Something is wrong with you mate. Big Head is one of the most loved characters in this show.

      your thinking of halt and catch fire which premiered around the same time as this show and takes place in the late 70s to 80s. this show is about all the tech start ups that happened in the past decade. it's kind of a spoof. and it really faded imo. neither is halt and catch fire
