huh? lol imo, people will not move from one industry to another industry just because the enter scores have risen/lowered (lol). If people have a passion, they will persue it no matter the circumstance. For example, I will always persue a career in finance, even if citi collapses lol.

You're working on the belief that everyone is as sure in their career as you are. If everyone was so sure as to what they wanted to do, why are dropout and transfer rates so high?
Why did my brother enter into Science then try transfer into Engineering at mid-year and why is he now applying to transfer to Bachelor of Business?
Furthermore, people's so called 'passions' have a strong correlation (in a lot, but not all) to their earnings (and earnings is linked to prestige in many respects so the two can sometimes be interchangeable).

Do you mean people tend to have passions for high paying jobs?
costargh:
Hmm, no not really.
I mean to say that people tend to think they are passionate for something when the prestige and remuneration for their work increases. I think of it as such; if lawyers and coles shelf stackers had the same social standing and remuneration, then the incentive to work harder for your money (ie. being a lawyer) decreases because regardless of what job you do, you will have the same social standing and remuneration.
So to answer your question, now I kinda changed my mind. Sort of, but I don't think money is the only thing. I think when a high paying job is coupled with prestige or social desire, then passion starts to kick in.
Furthermore, I think people are taught from a young age (through various media) to look up to doctors and lawyers from a young age, thereby making people aspire to be like them. We aren't taught to aspire to be the guy working at the milkbar because he doesn't have a high social standing or from what we can see, a high income (although he may).
