Why do I study? To get a better job, more money and hence, better lifestyle? I know 90% will say, "Hell yes, else why do we run after getting admissions in good education institutes, sit for crappy MBA entrances, et al?" Hence, the money you spend on your education should be able to give you a good pay cheque at the end of the month...
I kinda disagree. I mean yes, money is important to satisfy your whims, wants and desires but not the other way round. I earn enough or rather more than what I need, but then that's a personal choice! I studied History in Master's because I loved it, not because I wanted a high paying job out it...eventually I got a job, and then shifted to the other with a 'good' jump in the salary. But that's not the point here.
Is it not the whole purpose of education to 'enlighten' rather than a mere excercise of degree collection, to be framed and put up on the wall? Is it not about evolving your senses, perceptions, seeing things 'beyond', questioning things that exist and then making a personal choice whether you agree with the societal norms or not? Or am I being too esoteric here?
Just a random thought! may be you can tell me more!
