The obsession of CSS you are construing is not that much. There are many other professions here in Pakistan that students are willing to pursue. People are actually going after government jobs and in those government jobs, the most reliable and teeming with stature is CSS. Now coming to the real utility of it. CSS is undoubtedly the most prestigious job in Pakistan. After all, you will be one of those who make state policies and are, perhaps, well-aware of country's socio-political situation. Another reason of pursuing the very career is the deprivation of secure and reliable jobs, especially in the private sector. I have my preceptor who taught me English grammar and presently, he is unemployed despite rendering 15 years service in one of the private educational institutes. These are a few of the reasons why people are going after CSS exams.
