In a society where there is no social security net, an individual will always strive to first achieve the most immediate needs (food, clothing and shelter) first before striving for higher needs like fulfilling his/her passions. The question whether to go for engineering/arts/medicine/others is not decided based on what the person wants to do, but rather on which field promises the maximum income for the minimum resources/effort. Unfortunately it is easier to tell these people to follow their passions but the economic realities almost always takes them in a different direction. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
