Anyway, there is no meaning in an absolute, objective sense obviously. However, many people find satisfaction in personal relationships, the work they do and their hobbies. Is that purpose enough? For most people it is. If it's not for you then either do something more dramatic (e.g. become a volunteer or a political activist or whatever) or seek psychiatric help.
You see, there is no 'grade' you must get to be approved, nor you are supposed to know some things, and then you are automatically admited. It is a public examination, so whoever gets the higher grade gets selected. hence, its not a question if the subject is hard, but 'who is the most desperated fella in here' meaning 'we are going to make a test to see who is willing to sacrifice time, freedom, leisure, sex, its current job, because that is a guy that will take GREAT value in working with us and therefore we will not hire an agitator or something like that'

And how about you? doing your work and nourishing your relationships is motivation enough to carry on?
