Does Money Buy Happiness: Food for Thought

In this thought-provoking episode, we tackle the age-old question: Does money actually buy happiness? We dive into the pressures students—especially Asian students—face when choosing "high-status" careers like medicine, law, or engineering, often driven by financial security rather than passion.

We explore:

• The cultural & familial expectations that push students toward lucrative careers.
• Personal stories—do we really want to chase big paychecks, or are we happier with simpler lives?
• Research & perspectives on income vs. life satisfaction—where’s the tipping point?
• Alternative paths—can passion careers compete with traditional "money-making" ones?

Join us for a candid conversation about success, sacrifice, and whether wealth truly equals fulfillment.
