Suppose you are a lady law student. You study in a prestigious law college. You come from a well to do family, all college expanses are paid by parents.

Now suppose, you are offered a part time job to work as sales girl at a pharmacy shop. Will you accept the job?

Probably not.

A distant relative of mine living in Australia is exactly doing the same. She comes from a well to do family. But there is social culture that everyone above age 18, must do some part time job and should earn enough to pay their study bills and to pay vacation tours. There is a Law permitting stufents to get part time job for certain hours per day. Everyone is supposed to be aware of his or her responsibilities after age 18.

Compare this with our social mindsets. What do you believe in such social set ups?
