It was a choice of exclusion. I mean, there's nothing else you can do with these high grades other than doctorate in engineering. I hate math, so go be a doctor. This is the Middle East. What do you expect? It's either, like in my joke, in my show, I said like there's, it can be one of three things in the Middle East, a doctor, an engineer, or a disappointment. That is the choices that you have.

#424 โ€“ Bassem Youssef: Israel-Palestine, Gaza, Hamas, Middle East, Satire & Fame

Can I tell you something? Yes. That actually I was thinking about why did I actually go into medicine? And why did I always choose the hardest thing although I didn't love it? And I have to tell you I had an epiphany only two weeks ago. And I don't know if that's actually related or not. You know, I remember when I told you I went to this school and I didn't have that much money.

like American education, party time, like, I mean, of course they're brilliant and everything, but they have, yeah, they have a different, you know, social life. And part of me now, I kind of like, I realize that just like very, very recently, Maybe I went to the hardest school ever so I don't have space to use other than studying. Because if I have that much space, what am I going to do with it?

I don't have that much freedom. I don't have that much money. I can't compete with those people going out. So maybe I need a solid excuse that I'm in a place where I don't have that much of a spare time.
