Yup this is what the trend has become.
The 1st thing people associate today with a job is the "Pay Package".
Went through a job interview today, one of the leading MNC and the first reaction of many of my colleagues was "how much is the package?"
No concern for the name of the company, not job profile either.
For most youngsters today, the money they earn in the profession is the most important factor that attracts them to that job position. The reason is very obvious - students believe that money can buy them almost anything, be it material comforts or a good recognition in the society.
"The One who creates you also writes your fate"is an outdated proverb now.
Today Gen x is a master of its own destiny. Parents and society are not the only factors that influence one’s career decision.
Financial inflows are much important for most youngsters today, but for some, their passion for the job takes precedence to everything. Job satisfaction is given equal or more preference to monetary satisfaction in many cases. This is also a contributing factor to the enormous specialized courses hitting the market, which helps in associating one's passion to their profession.
So, what drives your career goal?
