1) Medical = because it made you rich and get prestigious degree!
2) Engineering = look smarts and important, and also, to be rich and have prestigious degree. MEH!
3) Law = Lawyer's and its all prestigious job + degree.
were the prestigious job or majors are just Doctor and Engineer and Lawyer?
I said this because there's a local unwritten law and local norm/ custom In my local circumstances said that if you're a Doctor or a Lawyer or an Engineer or a Person that works for Government a.k.a Civil Servants, you are so great. That's the REAL JOB. That's the whole point you go to college and get yourself a REAL JOB for a REAL WEALTH and MONEY. Because when you're older, the Prestige get you on the top.
"What about art?"
They said, "Art is just for hobbies. Art won't lead you anywhere. Art's not bring you for future wealth. Life's all about wealthy. To be wealth, we need : Prestige, and of course, Money.
those opinions are unfair. You can't judge things by its commercial's succeed. Everyone has opinion. Everyone has different mindset to stick on. There's no good or bad things, that's just depend on everyone's perspective.
Some thoughts:
The most objectively important job in society overall, I think, is medical researcher. Followed by doctor. It's not because they pay so well (investment banking probably pays much better, as does running a successful nightclub in a big city, etc.), but because they are actually important for people's lives and health.
Yet society holds, say, movie stars in much higher regard. Does that seem fair?
And what does it say about the society, and the degree of happiness in our lives, that we are so hungry for entertainment - a release, a way to vent, - that entertainers rule the minds of millions?
Also, these realities clash with some (SOME, not all) aspects of the description of the present art piece - that artists are supposedly looked down on compared against people of other professions. Show business is all the rage, in our time more than ever before. Musicians and movie people are revered. Doctors and scientists aren't...
However, I agree with the artist (~eugeniaclara) on many things, such as:
- many office jobs aren't of much use to society, and what's more, they dumb the person doing them down;
- money should only be the means - never the end goal.
I even have things to add to defend the artists' importance to society:
- art is a powerful tool for getting ideas across to people. Its significance in this regard should not be underestimated.
Sorry for the lengthy post...
