Sklar, Robert (18 Oct 2010). «The Engineer of Modern Perplexity: An Interview with Edward Yang». Cineaste. «[p]arents always want you to be in technology, so that when you graduate you can get a good-paying job, and they feel secure. If you're interested in the humanities, they think you're going to starve. On college-entrance exams I did too well. I qualified for the higher echelon in education, which led me into engineering, and I felt terrible. I wanted to retake the exam and do worse. Reality takes you in another direction. After I got my bachelor's degree I entered graduate school in the U.S. and studied electrical engineering again. I went into the newest and hottest program, the Center for Informatics Research at the University of Florida, which I think was the first information technology program.»
