I'm graduating in a few months time and, for the first time(as far as I can recollect) in my life, I pondered about the meaning of money.
Why?
Most people(maybe a lesser percentage in Less Developed Countries) are working hard to attain a "higher level" educational certificate. It is a paper(possible digital/paperless/biometrical in the future) certificate, and most likely, laminated. I've yet to see/come across a person who studied and did not want any certificate to be awarded to him/her.
A certificate is how the employment world functions. It is a signal to show the companies that you have the required(debatable) knowledge or skills for that particular jobs. Nowadays, outside curriculum testimony is also an important asset to show that not only you have the skills, but perhaps(note: perhaps), possessed the right inner aptitude for that job.
But a certificate may also mean a higher income/pay/remuneration expectation. Yes, Big Money!
Why money? Wrong, it should be - why is there a pursue of "big" money?
Just let me say this... it may be consumerism. The delusion/hallucination that pursuing "transaction-able " assets make a person happier. Happiness may means that you have a "better brand item" than your neighbours (there are various complicated definitions of neighbours). It may means able access or gain something deem inaccessible/unattainable to many normal(very subjective) people. It may means having the power/wealth to bring people under your control.
There is just one complication.... who is the one who determine what(that can be found/made on Earth)belong to who? Why do we have to pay for land space, pay for the resources?? Don't we all have the same rights to access these stuff........
To be continued
