Passion Vs Money Orientated

Last week after the football match with our fellow coursemate, Dinash , Gabriel ,WeiHan , Teik Kean and me went for dinner. We discuss alot of stuff range from food stuff to liquor to education.

So when we touch about education, everyone was curious about each other's future. Everyone was asking if any of us planning to pursue master after degree. So many of us gave different views about it and the highlight of that night come out from my mouth. I said that IF i were to get a scholarship, i will pursue my master.

And then Dinash pointed out that you are so WRONG!! studying or gaining knowledge is not about money orientated or monetary beneficial or material gain. It's about PASSION and INTEREST. Yeah!! he is right but i'm not wrong too. No money how to study le? but passion is damn important because without passion , sooner or later u'll be running out of steam and slowly losing ur interest and patience.

But today another topic happen to poop up during our lunch time. Someone was telling me that he have no interest in PHYSIcS and plan to do another degree after graduated. But who know that Physics is such a theoretical stuff with lotsa mathematical problem u have to solve. At first during our first year, we really interested in that field but as i said just now, is it YOUR PASSION to be a physicist or merely because physics have nice decorated cover? but hell dun judge the book by it's cover, it gonna kill you off.

So i ask my friend, u better do some kinda survey or research about the degree u gonna take and dun make the same mistake. Because of a little topic that u are interested in does not mean u like the whole course. If u happen to study and work on that field that you doesn't have interest in, that u can quit it. You won't be happy doing this. Alot of people including me is still LOST. Is it what i/you actually like or is it because it pay well when we come out working?

But as i said PASSION doesn't mean everything to somebody. Because in this world , who care about PASSION and if doing the thing that u like and it seem to be invaluable. Is just crap, right? For example if u like to play computer games, but by becoming a gamer doesn't bring you any where richer.

So the moral of the story is, dun choose the career or education path merely because of environmental situation such as parent preferential or economic gain ( which job earn more money ). Do it for your personal gain. Trust me you'll have more satisfaction doing it

Is it what i like or the situation have force me to...?
Which path should i choose? suckz at making decision!!
