In today's society money is a necessary part of living. People no longer live off the land and travel with a horse and buggy. Now a day's people drive around in fancy cars like a Cadillac or a Corvette. To live in the Northern Virginia area a high salary is just an essential part of the life style. It is not necessarily a need, but it is always nice to have the comforts of an exquisite life style. People are in social classes where they live with their homes. Everyone who paid about the same amount of money for their house lives around one another, therefore they socialize. Large homes and nice cars show social status for many. Money should not rule ones life it should be a nice addition. How nice your house is or how expensive your car is defines today's society. My philosophy on money is that it is a nice thing to have but it can neither buy love or happiness, they come from within. Many people feel that having money makes them more likeable. On the contrary is true, it shows the shallowness of people, and how they like people for their financial status.
Money does drive me. When my grandfather was younger college was not a necessary part for him to get a job, for me college is essential. I am going to go to college to pursue a career in computer information to make a decent living. I picked the field not only because I am interest in computers, but also because I believe the field will always be in high demand. The future looks to be growing in the technology field and I think I will be able to grow both in position and in salary.
