Human are social animals, and most of us have the habits of going with the flow - the herd mentality. Unless we are limited by resource or in a different context, then we will opt for other options. Nothing wrong about being influenced by others or following the trend, same towards for those who chose to not be in the main stream industry.
Take an example, students' choice of university for the their further study. Given that there are no financial worries, most of the students will decide to go to the prestigious and higher ranking uni. It is a rational choice. Then students will start their social life with a group of friends from similar backgrounds if not same.
However, I came across this guy who choose a different path from the rest. He went to a uni which is known by public, but not a popular choice, hence it was a total stranger place to him. He stood out from his comfort zone and be part of the international student council. He have met more people and achieved more compared to his peers who go with the flow and hang out with the same click of friends.
He inspired me to start wondering, "What's wrong with going against the flow? You might just end up with something totally new and succeed in it!"
