Shortly afterwards we rushed to my friend's house in Pondok Indah Elite Housing Complex, in the teracce of Surat'houss, there was there person discussing about their future seriously. They were Heri, Yanto and Sony.
Heri was the son of Surat's uncle.He went to Jakarata and stayed with me for a while before getting job. While yanto and sony were Heri's friends living at the boarding house nearby. All were university graduates.
"What are they doing here, Rat ?", I asked. "Uhm, One of them was working in my office for the time being Suratman explained. " You know it is not easy to find a good job with good salary here".
Though they graduated from a reputable university in this country, but it does not mean that it is for them to get a good position in an office or company. They had to star from the lowest level.
"Oh, I see", I added. I think it is normal. They have to fight for a good position in a company or an office.

"Yant, Do you want to apply for becoming a Govermment Civil Servant ?", asked Sony.
"No, I don't like it. To become a Govermment Civil Servant is the same as to become another " Oemar Bakri", a poor family", said Yanto " it is very difficult for me to build a house, buy a car, let alone to have villa in a cool area" he added
