Wait..hang on a sec, determined young Indonesians? Define ‘determined’, please.
I suppose it’d be better for us to ‘reinstall’ or brainwash our parents’ archaic way of thinking. And I’d rather think moderately about this. Govt civil servant is just as noble as entrepreneur.
Here..look, mas Fatih, you know how hard it is to curb corruption in this country and in most of the cases, corruption occurs in public official level. Public officials, if my memory serves right, are govt civil servants. By recruiting young fresh minds with supposedly more corruption-free attitude, chances to win over corruptors and beat corruption are naturally higher. we need intelligent and morally-flawless young people to reform the whole already-deteriorating system..There I said it.
I’m not trying to offend entrepreneurs but really, entrepreneurs have less chance to wipe out this systemic corruption just because they’re out of the authority circle.
Point is..being a govt civil servant isn’t that bad, actually

#there should be good, idealistic and determined people inside the government. the facts of the matter in this country, there are too many young people who want to be PNS. PNS has become the first choice for most of young indonesian. and that should be a matter of concern.

Fatih, I agree with you regarding this matter. I have the privilege to study abroad in US, and you can clearly see here that entrepreneurship is flourished. It is true like what Akhlis said that not everybody can be an entrepreneur, it needs talent and perseverance. However, just like what Thomas Edison said, success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration, so with enough hard work, everybody can be an entrepreneur.

#yes. basically everybody in indonesia could be an entrepreneur. the problem is the mindset of their parents. most young indonesian think that being an entrepreneur or opening a start-up is not a sign of success to attract the heart and mind of girls they love or the would-be parents-in-law; being a PNS is. wearing a safari with some badges here and there are much more attractive especially to parents and to parents-in-law. only determined young indonesians can go against that trend

Menjadi pegawai negeri di indonesia faktanya memang sampai saat ini statusnya lebih terhormat. Walau gajinya lebih kecil dari pengusaha tetap saja yang jadi pns terlihat lebih wah dan oke.
Namun untuk jangka panjang bila rata rata generasi bangsa berpola fikir seperti ini, kekuatan perekonomian negara akan rapuh dan tidak akan pernah berkembang.
