I’m not sure how much this quote means to people of other countries, but as an Indian who just got out of college, I completely agree with it.
Our parents force us to study and then without fail force us to choose a profession from either Medicine, Engineering or Law. Nothing else. They say the only way to earn money is these three professions. Scientists are frowned upon as they dont earn a butt-load of money.
I graduated from an elite engineering institute and while I was lucky to know that I wanted to be an engineer pretty early, I saw many of my friends disillusioned with it. They wanted to be painters, artist, designers. A lot of them went on to become exactly that. But most got stuck in a rut.
I feel the quote is being taken out of context.
