उत्तर
The graduates must acquire the means of a decent living. But it should be the only objective. As their education is funded by the tax from poor people, they have an obligation to pay back to society if not in cash in terms of service. They must bring light into the dark alleys, sunshine into dingy places, solace into the affiliated hope unto the despondent, and a new life into everyone.
