Study or Work??
-
Since NTU has offered you a place, you should study.
Take a loan if you have to. Work your ass off for a degree.
10 years down the road, don't look back and regret that you chose not to further your studies back in the year 2008.

If u r still lost, just think of what u want to achieve in life. Simple it may sound, but most people don't know exactly what they want in life.

Society is not forcing you to do anything. You still have the absolute right to turn down the offer, and no one can force you to do otherwise.
What everyone is saying is that since you are already offered the place, turning it down may well be a very big mistake.
Seriously, what's stopping you from accepting it? A lack of interest in studying? If that's the case, then I can tell you that a few years from now, if you really do want to get back to studying, you will find things to be a lot more difficult.
A few years from now NTU may change its admissions criteria and not longer accept you. The competition for places might also become stiffer. And even if they do, years and years of not studying would have blunted your academic skills, making things a lot tougher.
If you say that your lack of interest stems from serving two years in NS, then I can tell you that that was the problem faced by every single local male undergraduate when they first matriculated. Yours truly included.

Okay, okay..... MOST male local undergraduates.
Anyway, I had problems trying to get back into the academic groove after 2 1/2 years of inaction.

Don't even say about two years. Just a few months of wearing helmet and I can't even recall what's the difference between potential, potential difference and currents. -

Yeah.... I didn't do my first semester too well, either. It took one full semester for me to get back into full studying mode. It was a rollercoaster experience for me.... I went for ATEC in Feb 2004, and just a few months later, I was back in school.
And yeah.... it was also damn sian for me to see my JC and Sec 4 classmates two full years ahead of me.
Anyway, as you can see, TS, whatever difficulties you may initially face in uni life.... lots of people have been through it. Really.

x2.
Two years of inaction can already rust one's brain quite badly.
You wait a few more years, and it can become even more corroded.
Like it or not, TS..... now is the best time for you to go to uni.
