艾里克刚接到他大学入学考试的分数，分数非常不错，但是并非像他所希望的那么高。如今他面临着一个困难的决定: 有了高分，艾里克将可以进入一所排名顶尖并且是他第一志愿的东方大学。然而，他却无法主修他最有兴趣的工程学。 艾里克可以在中央大学攻读工程学，那是一所学术成绩要求较低的大学。中央大学的工程系学位，在就业市场上价值较低。但至少在毕业后，他可以在他梦想多年的领域工作。 如果你是艾里克，你会怎么做？你会这么做吗？ （艾里克与他的父母讨论这种情形。） 艾里克：你认为我该怎么做，爸？
爸爸：你有机会念一所很棒的大学，难道你不该选它吗？
艾里克：但那所学校不会让我主修工程学。爸，我必须学习数学。 爸爸：但东方大学的任何一个学位，都是一项非常有价值的资产。
妈妈：如果你在数学系的表现很好的话，艾里克，或许你过一段时间后就 可以转到工程系去。 艾里克：或许吧，但如果我不行呢？我在高中已经花了好几年的时间去读那么多不相关的东西。我很不愿意再浪费4年大学的时间做同样的事。
爸爸：等一下，如果你对工程学有兴趣的话，数学是一门非常有用的科目。 艾里克: 或许你是对的，好吧。我就上东方大学念数学好了。
