Pakistan formally inagurates Iran joining CPEC with Rimdan Market Free Zone

Define "caliber" - I have heard this word used by other Pakistanis as well and struggled to understand the logic behind scaling different jobs/professions.

I was always taught, work is work, doesn't matter what you are doing as long as its not illegal. Why Pakistanis try and find calibre in jobs - it just doesn't make sense to me.

I cleaned floors and worked as a waiter when I was young now I am a professional engineer, what difference does a job (calibre) makes.
First of all I would like to applaud your parents for raising a fine man. Many Pakistanis are obsessed with having a "high status" in the society. This sick mentality can be found in both cities and villages. I have seen so many villagers ask for loan and then spending all of it on their children's wedding just to showoff. People don't want to be seen doing a job which makes them seem like living a lifestyle which is poorer than what they show it to be.

Thanks, this mindset needs to change Pakistan has a very young population if everyone of them wants to be the officer who is going to do the grunt work. On the topic though the deal with Iran is good should create more local jobs - hopefully of the right calibre. 🙂
