I believe that Western society has adopted the work to live philosophy whereas Eastern and 3rd world societies have the work to live philosophy. Now I'm not saying that the latter is bad, it is a means to an end whereas the former is a way of life or goal which has to be achieved. You are almost less of a person if you do not succeed in a career.

I would also suggest that post secondary education has moved away from education and more towards preparation for the career which will define you as a person.
