With due respect to your sentiments and emotions i don't quite agree with your views on this. Let me clarify that i am also a regular IT guy earning the salary that most of us in IT MNCs do. But let us not forget that aspirations isn't all that bad. It challenges you to put hard work to earn a better living. There is nothing wrong in it. These are the factors which drive people in IT industry or otherwise to switch jobs for better pay packages, more meaningful jobs and a better quality of life. In my opinion these posts help people to think beyond the mundane day to day job and to strive hard to go to one of those places which ensure better jobs. At theend of teh day getting into one of those prestigious schools is no cakewalk and anyone who manages to be there should get what heshe truely deserves.
