Former BBB earns a PhD in economics from the University of California and pays R $ 42,000 per quarter
The former BBB Gil do Vigorecurrently a doctoral student in economics at the University of California, in the United States, he said he was “stressed out and angry” about his difficulties with the English language.
On Saturday, the 18th, he posted a rant on social networks reporting that, although he mastered the entire content of a macroeconomics test, he lost almost all points by confusing the translation of only one term.
“I was about to get a 10. But the wrong word gave the opposite meaning to what I meant. It changed the context,” she said.
«The problem is that I know how to do it, I know how to answer, but it’s in English. It’s very difficult — obviously you calmly think about it a little at a time — but the test is very fast and extensive, you can’t think. It’s very cruel to be worried, because maybe you won’t get a good grade (…). If in Portuguese it’s already difficult…”, argued the economist.
Shortly thereafter, Gil wrote a reflection on the pressure graduate students experienced. According to the text, Gil taking the course in California “for love”, after giving up a scholarship.
“I pay $8,000 a quarter,” she said. The value is the equivalent of R$ 42,235.20, at this Sunday’s quotation, the 19th.
“The test results can’t speak louder about my evolution as a researcher and economist! Sometimes it’s very hard to remember our purpose. And I’m not saying getting an ‘A’ is a bad thing, I’ve taken a few and I’m happy but it ends up affecting us and it seems like only the ‘A’ signals your learning and evolution, when it’s not. I’m going to focus on reconnecting with my purpose and moving forward!” she wrote on Twitter.
Gil do Vigor participated in Big Brother Brasil 21 and returned to his PhD in the United States in August 2022. Recently, he shared with followers that the current phase of the course is “completing” and that he should return in Brazil next Friday, the 24th. .
