A Professor from Beijing Normal University wrote in his micro-blog: "At the age of 40, if you do not have 40 million worth of assets, do not come back to see me and do not mention that you were my students." What do you think are the major reasons leading some professors to apply materialistic means to motivate their students? Write an essay of about 400 words.

When Masters Meet Materialism
The micro-blog of a university professor judging students’ success by their wealth has recently stirred controversy. As far as I see it, the professor’s comment has everything to do with a materialistic world where both universities and students have to put possessions into their consideration.
First and foremost, we should both realize and admit that we are living in a materialistic world. As the trend of commercialization progresses, the world we live in is increasingly featured by price tags and financial figures. When an entrepreneur like Steve Jobs passes away, people remember him not only for the state-of-the-art products he has created, but more importantly for the financial success he has achieved for his company. Imagine what people’s reactions might be if Jobs were jobless and penniless. Probably, they would call him a dreamer, a good-for-nothing. Therefore, under this context of commercialization and materialization, university teachers would resort to materialistic means to motivate their students.
Secondly, universities are no longer pure places for academic study since universities themselves have already become highly materialistic. Nowadays, the quality of a university is not only judged by its academic achievement, but vitally by the employment status of its graduates. Whether a university can provide better career prospects for its students is as important as whether its professors have published papers in academic journals. When universities are in fact money-oriented and spare no efforts to cater for the needs of the job market, it would be natural for the university teachers to measure their students’ success in terms of material gains.
Finally, university students are also so preoccupied by materialistic concerns that using money as means of motivation seems workable. More than ever, university students worry about their internships and how much money they can earn in the future. U-niversity students are no longer ambitious about being scholars. Instead, they want jobs that guarantee financial gains. One can easily know this by merely looking at the soaring enrolment numbers in business school and medical school each year. Students are desperate for money. It is not only something that keeps them alive, but also an important criterion to determine whether they are successful in this materialized world Thus it is obviously more effective to use money as the "bait" to motivate students, as they worship and pray for money.
In a word, it is a tip in the iceberg for some professors to motivate students by means of money in this distinctly materialistic world.
