Hi-Bye friends getting friendly suddenly

In recent years, I start to get friendly conversations from friends who used to be just hi-bye ones in school. It feels fishy everytime it happens to me because we don't even get into such conversations during school time.

And everytime my intuition is correct-- they are now insurance agents and/or financial consultants. These are the most common job amongst the people I know, after engineers that is.

And the funny thing is most of these people took an engineering degree in uni.... Now come to think of it, even quite a few of my close friends who got their engineering degrees aren't doing anything related to engineering. Lol

It's an easy way in, but it's a tough way out, that's why I don't understand why some people thinks they can get away with bad grades in A levels and anyhow take an engineering degree, I've nv ever heard of easy life for engineering students, haha
