[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are schools where students are the most excited about learning for the sake of learning?[/quote]

Are you contrasting that with schools where people are most excited about learning for the sake of preparing themselves for a successful career, or do you mean something else? [b] I have a business degree and an engineering degree[/b], so I don't have any familiarity with this "learning for the sake of learning" concept.  All of us were just trying to get jobs.[/quote]

Do you have a passion for something like arts and music with no consideration for remuneration, to play at a club or a bookstore for all the books you can read? That’s music for music’s sake. Or Gregory Perelman, who declined the $1 million prize for proving the Poincaré conjecture. Or Jean-Paul Sartre who declined the Nobel Prize in literature. [/quote]

Not really the OP topic, but would you have gotten those particular degrees if you didn't have some love, at least like, for the subjects? I can't imagine doing the work and the studying if the learning itself was not in some way rewarding. [/quote]
