In many Chinese eyes, it is a waste of talents. Chen Sheng, a graduate from China’s prestigious Peking University, began selling pork two years ago. Now he has become a multimillionaire. He opened 100 chains selling porks in Guangzhou. His chains have a turnover of 200 million Yuan. Years ago, another graduate Lu busheng became a butcher instead of finding a “Decent job” after his graduation? His deed caused fierce argument. Many internet users said that it was a waste of talent? In Chinese perspective, butcher or selling pork is not a decent job. Grads from prestigious Peking University selling pork are a waste of talent? What do you think? Cheng Sheng graduated from prestigious Peking University

A friend of mine, after graduating graduating from agricukture university then Oxford, he became a fisherman. Now he owns 7 fleet of trawlers.

Talents serves a bridge to make money. It is not a waste of talents because it makes a big fortune for him. I assume the guy never thought he wasted his talents.

GUESTLITE

I know of a guy who has graduated from a Taiwanese university who sells roasted barbeque pork a month before the Spring Holidays (LUnar New Year) - for that one month he takes in about USD2,500 - a sum of money he would NOT be able to earn IF he worked in a bank.

My point is: it really matters little (for some people) what you do to make money legally, to make an honest living.

A Thai multi millionaire sold sandwiches on the streets in Bangkok after the financial tsunami in July 1997 - today he is once again wealthy, not by selling sandwiches but through his business.

In today's uncertain times, when the world economic scenario is nearly all doom-&-gloom, selling pork is even better than working in a bank. Pays better. Now what is so wrong with that?
