EDUCATION CANNOT BE ONLY MONEY-ORIENTED
We all know that in this new modern age, all parents and students desire to study science and commerce subjects in the 12th grade in high schools and make their son or daughter a doctor, engineer or chartered accountant, b because there is more earning power in those branches. It is welcome to have good doctors or professionals in any society and it is proper that they earn good. But, it is not good to have this wind blowing in only one direction of earning most money at any cost. This approach, being lop-sided raises social-economical-moral issues. All householders need to earn money and it is okay, but when that need turns into obsession then it becomes miserable and leads to worry, tension, anger and vices, resulting in total failure.
