Phooey. When Edwin Hubble had an opportunity to practice law but decided instead to go to grad school in astronomy, "I chucked the law for astronomy, and I knew that even if I were second-rate or third-rate, it was astronomy that mattered."
Also, if I did what Mark's character is shown to be doing in class (snatching a cell phone out of a student's hand, making students uncomfortable), my students would complain. But of course, no recent film is more poorly researched in what college life today is really like than the 2015 film, "Irrational Man," starring Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone.
One of my students is aspiring to enter a very competitive field. His work is mediocre at best. He has applied to a number of schools to further his studies and has been told his work is weak. It is. And no amount of wishing is going to improve it enough for him to be successful in his desired field.

I would love to be wrong about this.
