A good job

the best question ..... for all those of us in college ... and those not in college ...

WHAT EXACTLY IS A GOOD JOB ???

first of all the inspiraton for this post .... i went to orlando, florida this weekend .... i stayed over at a friend from iit ... mayank ... who btw cooks excellent poha ... he'll have a lucky wife ...
now where does he stay .. with another indian ... who is doin a job there in the us ... nicknamed dadu ... very sweet and helpful .. he drove 30 miles just to pick up us ...

anyways comin back to the point ....excuse my diverging nature ...

what sparked this conversation ... we were a group of 4 friends me , mayank, shahsank , and ankit all comin back from disneyworld ....in a high spirit ....after a great day at the parks ...

all happy in the USA ... with their interns though ... not the country as such ... all except one ...

who had fallen in love with the country also ...

that is wot started the discussion ... 3 of us agreed that foreign countries are a great place to vacation ... but the 3 of us wanted to work and settle in India ..

that is when one friend said that he had decided to work and settle in the states ...
quite obviously we asked him why ?????

his ans was quite staright and simple

I WANT A GOOD JOB

our obvious response was that u get good jobs in india also ... and u have mnc's and everything ... though on a lighter vein u dont have strip clubs and topless beaches ...

lol ... btw i went to south beach miami .. which is topless...


anyways comin back to the point

his ans was the best job is one which gives the maximum money ....
IS MONEY EVERYTHING ???????

his ans was yes ...
we tried expalining him ... but i guess he was in a very immature state ... one in which i was abt 4 yrs ago ... when i had the notion that money is everything ..

but ive matured .... my mom was very thankful for that ...

money isnt everything ... peace of mind , happiness , satisfaction and time ..... are things that money can not buy ....

and these are things widout which there wuld be no life ...

i hope he realizes this before its too late ... else its a mad rat race
