My wife is among the top 1% student from my country with a degree that I don't want to reveal to keep our identities unknown as much as possible. She is doing research (!) and earning 24K/year.
I share HDB with another family. And at the end of month I have very little to save.
We are so called FTs. We think we are big losers.
Of course we are very frustrated. But we don't have many options open. |
I'm not being racist here but let me make a guess. You sound like an Indian national to me.
If my guess is correct, then perhaps the "top universities" which you are refering to may just be applied in the India sub-continent. I would suggest you to suppress your typical indian ego-out-from-nothing and explore outside your circle of awareness. Hopefully, you will get awake from perceving yourselves as being the "best" when you truly meet the best from MITs or any other Ivies.
