Yes and no. you might love dinosaurs and want to research all you can about any and all of them in any way you can. Focusing it down to just one narrow part of the field is stupidly limiting for such a desire. There's a reason most actual science got done by hobbyist scientists not as a job but as a passion project. The commedification of scientific pursuit has resulted in a lot of junk and fake science, sadly.Professor shelling out the harsh truths
A lot of scientists chasing research grants I’ve noticed. And a lot of research papers not worth the words on text, if they aren’t just completely fabricated AI generated stuff. Universities like to demand researchers publish a set amount of papers so they can use it as a metric when asking for grants or alumni donations.Yes and no. you might love dinosaurs and want to research all you can about any and all of them in any way you can.

Nah bro needs the truth, MC has no redeeming factors other than being tangentially involved with a big titty gyaru. I used to feel bad for him but honestly all of his problems are his own fault.I know he thought he was saying the right thing, but he could've been a little less shitty about it.

-I want to study how dinosaurs evolved
-I want to learn why the dinosaurs died
-I want to discover new species of dinosaurs
-I want to become an expert on Triceratops
-I want to manage the dinosaur exhibit at a museum
-I want to create accurate dinosaur models
etc.
Passion is crucial, but if you can't even clearly communicate what it is about the subject that fascinates you, then your passion is shallow. Which is a bad sign for people who want to commit time & money to grad school. The professor was right to try and sound him out on this one, fortunately Naruto took the right lesson from it.
