Some of my friends call me "big head" because I have a Ph.D. in Math. They think that I know a lot of things in my field. I tell them that I surely know more in Maths. than the average person but I consider myself more ignorant than what I was before I started my Ph.D. studies.
This ignorance does not mean that I have less knowledge but when I consider what I could have learned during my studies and I did not, I find myself with less skills than what I was planning to obtain at the beginning of my thesis.
