I think that the kid does not know this harsh world yet, haha. Anyway, being a janitor doesn't mean that it is already a low-paying job. I remember one time, our subject teacher in values told us about an engineer in our country, but he chose to be a janitor in the other country for the sake of a high salary. Other than that, I also watched the highest-grossing movie in the Philippines entitled "Hello Love, Goodbye." The story revolves around a girl who finished Nursing as her degree. However, she decided to stake her life in the other country as a domestic helper and accept multiple jobs for a high salary. A sad reality, though.
Clearly the parent owned a business where graduates work for the boy's parents, but they're selfishly hoping the kid be a doctor.
I hope that his parent will not pressure their child to be a doctor and that they will only guide him whenever he wants. I didn't say that they must always support him even though he was doing something bad, but I only want to denote that the kid must not be pressured. It's more fulfilling if they will support the decision of their kid toward his success.
The kid was just being rebellious, as regardless what form of occupation the parent putting up a metaphor, the kid will use that to fight back with the parent.
It's true to earn foreign currency and gain from the exchange rate. But let's not forget the spending power is different. I have friends who earn a killer living in Japan, but the kind of life is technically never see the sun.
The kid will be alright I guess. I don't think the parent did wrong too, but discrimination of a certain profession is very unprofessional 🤣
