Random Thought #101

I had an interesting thought come into my head. What are the 3 most common degrees pursued in the university or professions in the workplace? 1. Business 2. Law 3. Medicine Those are my three. You hardly see anyone going into education, or art, or history, or science because there is no payout at the other end. People don't follow their passions because it doesn't make sense financially. I can't say I blame them. It's in our nature to survive and be comfortable but there was a comic in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago from a comic strip artist that I usually hate but he made an excellent point. http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2012/05/06 Decisions about what to pursue in life are driven by money. Its sad really. Dreams and passions are lost and left to rot. I can't say as though I'm any better as I graduated from business school and work for a big corporation and we're financially secure but I can't say that there isn't something deep inside of me that is frustrated and festering, an itch that needs to be scratched. I try to satiate it with Ted talks and books but it still there. I know it seems cliche' but follow your dreams and your passions. Don't let money or a certain lifestyle get in your way. Be Happy and feed your soul!
