Oh okay, do it really require a master degree, in this country people are
teaching in "elementary school" (kids with age from 7-16), did
only study 4 years in some non-university.

Only high school teachers requires a master degree (youths from 16-20).

Oh okay ;) Then you do know alot about Aerodynamics too? (I allways found
it interesting, but I didn't do studying it).

I would like to teach in High School Physics, so I bet I would learn about
Aerodynamics in University.

It has +1 processes... The extra one is waiting for a caller.

Download of QWK packets work, but upload don't because of the file transfer
upload didn't work.

Oh okay.
