Packing Mesh

I, being a photography enthusiast who likes to travel, usually reads backpacker guides and articles from ww web searching for tips and tricks, looking for backpack contents and ways of organising them.
I have read tonnes of articles on uses of packing cubes and compression sacs for packing things in your backpack.
While agreeing to the uses of all these, one thing that I found to be useful and cheap was never given its due place in backpacking world, named Packing Mesh.

Yes, it is the small plastic net which is used to pack onions in supermarkets.
They are absolutely cheap, free of cost if you buy vegetables from big stores, and a wonderful packing and organising material for a backpacker.
While it will not give the tight packing ability of compression sacs or easy organisation of cubes, the virtual costless nature against 200Rs(3-4$) for packing cube and may be 10 times costlier compression sacs, gives it a potential to become an important item in backpacker essentials especially for students and travellers with low budget.

A question awaiting answer...

A decision making question. All those who read should comment your answers. Please!!!

You are working in an institution which has a provision to give you paid leave for education. But you have to execute a bond for this leave that you will rejoin immediately after course and will not resign before 3 years of service after education.
The bond condition you can see that is of good faith that if we pay you during leave you have to pay us back with added knowledge you get through education.
If you violate bond you will have to repay salary of the period with interest.
After education, you feel you can contribute better to society in some other ways. What will you do?
1. Wait for three years to get over and resign.
2. Resign and pay the penalty.
3. Work for an year. Then take a payless leave for 2 yeers and then resign after completion of bond period. Now use excuse of 3 year as an argument not to pay back.
4. Other options...

What will you choose (including any other suggestions you can find.)?
Why?
Explain the options and decision in detail.
