I just had fought with my family yesterday, I live in India, where double graduates run for government jobs positions like janitor. My dad was writing form for 0one of them for me, They were trying so hard to rationalize themselves. Fear and security governs their life like the rest of indians, I have currently learned many skills besides my software engineer background, like copywriting, content writing, customer care, marketing, pricing optimization and they are blind to it,.
what they were filling for was 6000rs./month (80$)government service, I told them I can earn this in 3 hours, and he told money is not everything and some indian jargon, and then I told them I am selling my services for money, he told me what are doing with laptop? are you studying with laptop or doing business with it? Is laptop for this? you'll get in illegal stuff and you are not son of a millionaire!
I really thought of leaving my family right then, their mental poorness really is ignorant and painful.
