Whatever floats anyones boat. 

Some people love shoes, of certain kinds. 

Some people love afternoons, or by the way the moon shines.

And the other love weekends, to feel the way they do.

Thats why I ask myself what is it with you.

OOPs, sorry, eraserheads song. 

I guess, everybody makes their own calculations on what matters.  Money, for some, power for some, upward mobility for some--as long as the family is comfortable with whatever decision it might be.
