What is so attractive about it?


Here's what I see in today's society , maybe not the whole society , but the society whom I'm living in. Everyone having a really a clear goal, striving for it and that seems to be their only purpose.

What goals am I mentioning ? Having good grades in university. Well that's basically what we are at now right? If that's not one of my goal then I must be totally absurd.

But what's more do I see .... Everyone asking around what internship are you having , then what placement and offers do you get .... Then later on people will ask what field do work in , then what area in common you have with them , then how is your pay !!!

Maybe this seems really normal to you , because I see so many people wanting to get a job in London because they think the standard of living and pay here is way better than other .... And then so many people want to get into investment banking because they say you earn lots of money in that field .... And they say you should get into top investment banks like JP Morgan , Morgan Stanley UBS .... Because you get even more pay , higher than average ....

Well up until now you think it is a norm to be thinking like that .... Stuff driven by money, pride and status .... And I assure you that I'm not any less goal orientated and realistic person than you are .... But all these are driving me crazy .... Why are people rushing towards a direction because everyone is rushing towards it .... Why don't people even think before making these their choice as default ... But I just don't want my life to be so dull ... Doing something without a clear purpose ...

All these are the effects of capitalism and I feel how sad about the system... I was raised in a place oriented in such system ... And am really happy to be not in the group where friends aren't even motivated about their life but only in relationship and gaming ... But will be even happy if I could control over this capitalism system instead of being controlled over by it ....

Think .... About values that are even more important .... Contribution for you own nation , self satisfaction from your commitment, passion and motive for your being ... Those may be the right place where you initially belongs , before the twist of fate from our dear society
