Where do all these lead to in the end? Yes, I'm talking about the things I'm doing now. Trying to complete my tertiary education, thinking about what I'm gonna work as...etc.

After more than a semester of intense studying, I'm quietly questioning if there's any real purpose behind all this. Yes, if that is what it takes to survive, then there won't be a choice. But on deeper thought, the paper chase is a chase for luxury, not for survival. I cannot deny that I do not need luxury. Instead luxury should come with a purpose or a meaning in life.

It is well known that many graduates end up working in sectors that have no relation to their specialized degrees. You may ask, then why study that particular area? Most probably the reply you get is because 'it is practical'. Think economics, engineering, accounting, law, medicine. The way I see it, the more practical something is, the less passion and meaning there is. Looking at my friends in engineering, I can tell they dislike the subject but they held on with the hopes that it will give them better employment opportunities. Well some people do work in what they previously studied. However, it's money that drives them, not passion.

I do envisioned my future in a big house and driving fast cars, but not through earning big bucks. Rather I just wish for things to be that way. Even so, a small cosy home is good enough for me. Call me a dreamer? At least there's meaning in those dreams to me.
