You'd be surprised at the significantly smaller bracket in the East Asia region (I estimate to be 5-10%) - everybody is interested in making money but nobody bothers to understand how the financial system works, and how politics and policies drive the market. And.....

I am currently doing a prepatory diploma to major in Finance or Economics, but that isn't my real interest. I am more interested in mechanical or aerospace engineering (yeah I know, I suck at math, don't rub it in).
I have come to see how actually many young adults have no interest or bother to discover how things work, be it a "science" (Engineering, theoretical science, etc) or "art" (Economics, political, etc) system. They are just interested in the shortest direct method to the end result - the worst method to use for achieving personal success IMO.
Sometimes I wonder why there is a lack of interest in "discovery" of the world and the surroundings we live in, I never bothered to ask this question since I doubt I could get any real answers. Maybe I could give it a try here, writing something in text could probably yield some good philosophy or insight I myself never thought of.
