It reminds me of what my University thought me... we're graduating
then when my instructor told us that what we are heading is NOT for
getting ourselves riches of the world, it is that we are going out of
school to reach out for others and 'inter-operate' within the
community. It's not "go out there and be better than other and be
rich!!" but working every single day for a common good.

I hope it is similar out there in the playing field (for IT
companies).

Not from what I have seen... and, evidently, not from what others have
seen, as well. From 'Beyond Computing' Magazine, May, 1996, pg. 51,
sidebar entitled 'Cultural Contradictions' (caps original):

--begin quoted text:

WE MUST WORK AS A TEAM.

But you get rewarded for standing out.

--end quoted text

(note that what constitutes 'rewarded' is not specified... it could be
money, true, but it could also be training, a better parking-space or the
ability to put one's skills to use in order to make Things Better all
around)
