Is there more...?

Is there more to life really, other than studying and stressing about the future? I got called unthinking by a friend of mine today in school when we were discussing about our ambitions and i said maybe i can go be a waitress or work at a primary school or teach guzheng..Must everybody be in a top-notch career position?  Really... just because we have a chance at education and may seem better off than others working as janitors or even at Macdonalds etc, that doesn't mean that we have a right to look down on such people right. Everybody wants to get into law and med but what if we cannot reach that position? Any lower careers other than lawyers, bankers, doctors are looked down upon or even shunned by people in TJ(Not generalising but so far, experiences haven't proved otherwise) I even witnessed a classmate of mine, mocking and imitating the auntie who always locks the classroom for us, just because she wasn't very proficient at English. Shouldn't we help these people, instead of laughing and criticising them? I really don't get whats going on in some people minds these days. Has the Singapore system of education brain washed us to only pursue academic excellence at all cause and ignore/mock others who do not have the ability to keep up. So many elitist everywhere..If nobody wants to help these people, who will? If everybody only wants to work at  high paying jobs and careers, then whos going to be the cleaners in the kopitiam. For now, its the old aunties and uncles and even foreigners who are holding this jobs..but what about the future..okk i'm only blogging all this cause there are really too many questions in my head and i guess i was just really affected by the comment made by my friend :((


And i really don't know which subjects to pick. geog or history? phy or bio? >< just terrified that i would make another wrong decision. Made so many already and i just don't want any more mistakes. And i really think i'm gna pull out of j2 grad night perf for dance..the dates with guzheng practices are all clashing and i'm even skipping school(preparation for induction periods:p) just to go for guzheng in PL. Hope the sacrifices will be worth it in the end. But anyways grad night clashes with my guzheng finals if i'm right. IF I EVEN GET INTO FINALS..:/
