Met a sch mate(more specifically, brother of a fren) recently..First time we met ever since leaving school some 10 years ago..
He was of the 'model student' calibre..good in studies, good in sports. Was expecting him to be a high-flyer by now(coming from a family of accountants - the sister is currently working as one, as expected). From our chat, it turned out that he did start out doing auditing for a couple of years and switched to finance for a year but found that he didn't 'see the point' and found his well-paying job 'meaning-less'.
He went on to a VWO to do youth development work(which is how we met) and was much happier there and slowly he found his 'calling' - to be a teacher and has since signed on to be a teacher - enrolling in NIE this coming July..
Another supporting case for my 'Declining Scale' theory..
