===> If this guy had been in Washington DC area, he would be a DBA at a desi bodyshop getting abused at a government agency by a GS-13 official.

He would be making about $110 K per year.


I guess it is all karma.

===> The guy went to PSG College of technology.

More successful than his peers who got into IIT at that time.

PSG is ranked #15 or so in India and It competes for JEE entrants who don't get the field they want and where they want. Often JEE entrants from TN wh0are not satisfied with the IIT allotment pick PSG and NIIT (trichy) as their fall back. As one distinguished prof from a top 5 school in the US told in some meeting that people often overlook graduates from BITS, PSG, CIT, NIIT, Visveswariya, which were all well established institutions for decades, and the toppers from these places are just as good as IIT toppers.

There is one added quality in many of these guys - more humility in most people than most IIT toppers.

Why do people compare academic success to monetary success? An above average academic career will produce above average monetary rewards (normally distributed). There will be extremes either way. And a lot of them actually choose to pursue their research interests instead of pursuing money. And a lot of them take it easy once they hit a threshold and choose family over slogging. And a lot of them are unlucky and a few of them are lucky.

>> Why do people compare academic success to monetary success?

This has always been my question as well. I always remember the Tamil Movie "Saraswati Sabatham" whenever I think of this question.

Here is my reasoning: It all depends on what one respects. Those think money is success are mesmerized by wealthiER people (Most common/normal people). Those who respect education are jealous of those who are more accomplished in Education (the PhDs, Professors, and teachers fall in this category). Those who believe in doing good to others and sacrifice often admire those who steadfastly follow these (missionary and military people fall in this group).

Of course, each group may be disenchanted with their own kind as they age and could accept success in the other groups as well.

Saamiyaar Gyaan: Sum total of success is always equal to unity.

I agree on your views on "success". My point is slightly different. i am saying is that academic success can only guarantee an above average monetary success for the achievers on average. Any monetary success beyond that level depends on a lot of non-academic factors. At the same time there are a lot of people who have qualities that bring them monetary success though they did not fare well academically.

Aren't you then equating success with money in a 1-d definition that you yourself questioned?

Those after education UNDERSTAND (at least MUST) that their academic achievement is independent of the financial wealth they are likely to achieve. Same goes for the other groups.

Ironically, what most common people don't realize is that the wealthiest people respect educated ones and never put down education as secondary. Nor is the 3rd group. But, the educated group assumed the right to put down the wealthy.

I am talking about the correlation between monetary success and academic success. I am not defining either of them as "the success".

Actually, that is what I am saying too. They cannot and should be correlated. And, I am saying each of them is a success by itself. Most of us when we judge others as success or failure, we do so from OUR point of view.

In other words, Success is what is defined by the individual and whether he is contented by what he achieved against the goal.

But it is indeed true that a very big majority in the world today equate success with money and what is sad is education itself is looked upon as a tool for making money-based success. Very common to see columns and articles putting a price tag for college education and give a profit-loss analysis, forgetting all other advantages that Education gives a human.

That's right... but there is nothing wrong in winning the lottery -- it takes the willingness to make a bet.
