Is it really? Do you have inside information on the prices of HD programming and HD televisions?
Not sarcasm, I am seriously curious. |

As masterful as you are with Paint, you'll probably be making $120k/year with ch0p skills once you get used to it. |

| Fiber optics / Network Engineer. I like the job, but the pay sucks, only because I'm based with a contractor in Florida. Evidently, contractors in Florida don't pay well. I plan on moving back to NY, if can't find better earning potential out here. |

I'm a student in "prépa HEC spé éco":
The Grandes écoles of France are higher education establishments outside the mainstream framework of the public universities. They are generally focused on a single subject area, such as engineering, have a moderate size, and are often quite selective in their admission of students. They are widely regarded as prestigious, and traditionally have produced most of France's scientists and executives.
The classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles (CPGE) is a prep course with the main goal of training students for enrollment in a Grande École (and especially an engineering school, see : Grandes écoles). Admission to the CPGE is very competitive and is usually based on performance during the last two years of high school, called Première and Terminale. The CPGE are located within high schools but pertain to tertiary education, which means that each student must have passed successfully their Baccalauréat (or equivalent) to be admitted in CPGE. Each CPGE receives the files of hundreds of applicants worldwide every year during April and May, and selects its new students under its own criteria (mostly excellency).
CPGE programs have a nominal duration of two years, but the second year is sometimes repeated once.
The most known CPGEs are certainly the scientific ones, which can only be accessed by scientific Bacheliers.
There are also CPGE which are focused on economics (known as épiciers, who prepare the admission in business schools) and humanities. These latter are known as "Prépa HEC" and are split in two parts ("prépa HEC spe mathematics" , generally for those who graduated the baccalaureat S and "prépa HEC spe éco" , for those who were in the economics section in the lycée.)
The students of CPGE are also matriculated in universities, and can rejoin college in case of failure of their grandes écoles ambitions or if they just do not wish to become engineers and feel not able to pass the Écoles Normales Supérieures competitive examinations. The ratio of students who failed to enter grandes écoles is low in the scientifics and economics CPGE, but high in humanities, for the only Grandes Écoles aimed in these classes are the Écoles Normales Supérieures.
The amount of work required of the students is exceptionally high. In addition to class time, students spend several hours each week completing exams and 'colles' (very often written 'khôlles' to look like a Greek word, this way of writing being initially a khâgneux joke -cf. supra, khâgne) [supra where? needs editing]. The so called 'colles' are unique to French academic education in CPGEs. They consist of oral examinations twice a week. Students, usually in groups of three, spend an hour facing a professor alone in a room, answering questions and solving problems. In CPGE littéraires (humanities), the system of 'colles' is a bit different. They are taken every trimester in every subject. Students have one hour to prepare a mini-presentation that takes the form of a 'dissertation' (in history, philosophy...) on a given topic, and that of a 'commentaire composé'(a methodologically codified commentary) in literature and foreign languages; as for the Ancient Greek or Latin, they involve a translation and a commentary. The student then has 20 minutes to present his work to the teacher, who ends the session by asking some questions on the presentation and on the corresponding topic.'Colles' are regarded as extremely stressful, particularly due to the high standards expected by the teachers, and the subsequent harshness that may be directed at students who do not perform adequately. But they are important inasmuch as they prepare the students, from the very first year, to the oral part of the competitive examination, reserved to the happy few who successfully pass the written part.
