Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! - Ch. 208 - Looks Like You Found Something You Want To Do!

[Kyxr]

Well yeah. Ofc she found something she wants to do. You , Kaoru.

The duality of man. Though I agree with Kaarme. Finding something that inspires you doesn't mean you have to work on exactly that thing. There are a lot of related fields, since that one virtual doll incorporates several disciplines, like 3D projection, AI, art, and animation.

Except I have seen far too many bright eyed kids who enter a field thinking that they will do their dream job or project only for reality hit like brick. And if not for the student loans that they are on they would have quit and worked somewhere else.

Getting interested in a field is one thing. But seeing one project or company and then wanting to do exactly that, is a recipe for quick to burn out and over all unmotivated employees. If they even get a job to begin with. As some degrees are not worth the paper they are printed in depending on the market conditions. Something that most undergrads don't pay attention to when applying at a given college or university.

Is it just me or does her mental image of a Peten hologram look shockingly similer to a cosplaying Kaori

 

[Lunkli]

Ah, I see why it was their last cultural festival now. Peten-chan will become real so she doesn't need Kaoru anymore.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

This seems to sci-fi-ysh for this manga, but considering we have Hatsune Miku hologram lives and with the advance of AI and VR technologies, it could be possible in 5-10 years from now.

Sure, but Nanami didn't exactly have that dream for that long before deciding, so it's not a solid and specific dream. She was already interested in that field, and that mostly provided a direction. My view on it is that her actual wish is to work within the field of human-computer interaction, rather than on that specific project, even if that's what inspired her.

Can't relate. Don't live in a country where people get skinned trying to get educated.

At least Nanami will be a great breadwinner when this career path inevitably leads to being a DARPA contractor.

Me reading this while in my hotel room at a DOD conference.....

I was clear on what I said. So not sure why trying to take my opinion to mean something else? It is an advice to people who I unfortunately seen one too many off in workplace to avoid such trap.


Also happy to hear that you don't have to suffer or put yourself in a disadvantage to get a degree hopefully more people get the same opportunity as you!

You mean you're taking a situation to mean something else for the purpose of your argument, and now you're calling me out for exactly what you're doing yourself, when I try to relate it to the actual situation shown in the manga rather than the made-up scenario you're talking about?

 

[Shinigamisama]

Congrats on becoming a family heirloom.

 

[Apep23]

Was that technology already existed? I lived on the cave so I didn’t know if it was already existed

 

[Simpleton]

That is one bad carrier choice! It is like saying you want to be a Disney chief and then reality hits that they don't need any chiefs when you finally graduate from school and have to work in other places.

Kids don't be like her please!

Still, it's just to pick "what should I study next" - and it's a lot easier to get good grades and come out of education faster if you actually like what you're studying.
