Jobs like university professors and researchers are perhaps considered quite a decent path for the children of the poor and those satisfied with modest means, and even a perfect match in their eyes. Kanako pondered this inwardly.
"Academic circles," they seem glamorous on the surface. Many families who could have been wealthy ended up like this, mistakenly sending their children into academia, feeling accomplished when they obtain advanced degrees, thinking they've raised talents. Kanako found it amusing.
In fact... it was just a waste of life, pursuing academia is a sign of being oblivious to the mechanisms of society. Kanako's daughter is destined to be part of the top richest people and financial groups in the world, not to spend time in some research institution.
Money, power, these are eternal.
