Regretted studying

signing on is different lah.Originally posted by Thongboy:There is light at the end of the road which ever path you take..
jus take u hav to put ur head down and work for it..
take my cousin for instance, he's a N lvl holder, sign on for army 8 yrs ago and now he's earning 3.8k per month..and he's starting out a biz outside alr...
tats life.
and this is my 1000th post!.. finally..
sign on the pay is always better than working outside espicially if you got no education qualification.
That is why so many ah bengs sign on with the army. They everyday can continue to scold vulgar language, tekan people and yet earn lots of money -
so jialat meh?Originally posted by silverng:accounts asst lor.
I try those MNC companies. Went for about 5 job interviews and didn't get any jobs and so I chose my current coy even though it is not a accounts job.
Feel so demoralised after 5 job interviews that I didn't want to try any more accounts job and so accepted any job offer that came my way
hmm..
most of my colleagues got accts diploma leh.. and doing v well.
ur diploma from where? -
It's okay to do a job that you find simple for now - it's a sign of your additional capacity. But experience is what you need but lack. So roll up your sleeves and dig in your heels to show consistently excellent performance in this job so that you can prove to the whole world including yourself that you deserve to move on to a more challenging position. Bide your time la.......

Ya lor. I start to feel that I am fated not to do accounts job.. -
We all know that whoever can answer "yes" to any of the 2 questions is lying to U...so why bother to ask such no-brainer questions?Originally posted by silverng:I am amused too.
Can you 100% guarantee that with a high education you will be able to find a high salary job?
Can you 100% guarantee that with a degree, you will be able to go very far in the coporate world?
If your answer is 'Yes' to both questions, than I will be persuaded to take a degree
Whether you want/dont want a degree...its ur own consideration.Nobody is persuading you to do anything. -
pardon me for saying this..Originally posted by silverng:Temasek Polytechnic.
Ya lor. I start to feel that I am fated not to do accounts job..
but if ur accts dip is from NP, maybe it will be easier for u to find a job. -
you should change your topic to regretted taking a diploma..
LOL. Do you think that accounting being taught in tertiary education are still the same kid's stuff that you learn during secondary education?
People in some countries , to some extent, have learn your A1 equivalent accounting skills in secondary education back during their primary education days.
I'd suggest you to look at the next direction in your life.. notwithstanding your guilt -
Just do your degree for fuck's sake
-
look at it this way. at least diploma is the basic requirement to any of the private degree or even local U. follow your heart. when you are young with less responsibilities, you can even change the subject of studies

gd job with gd pay does not drop from the sky. u need 2 search it ur own regardless of poly or jc. whining here will not help.

Threadstarter already admitted:
An employer is unlike to employ someone who does not understand/know what he is learning in school. Before you go for interviews, better go do a lot of revision first.
Plus I don't understand what is being taught and my results were mostly C and D.
If someone is not able to do well in accounting at diploma level, it is unlikely he/she can do well in similar course at the degree level because his/her interest in that field of study is already gone.
But since you already got your diploma, got out of the army, got a job, you should be a happier person now. Why think about the past setbacks when you are successful now, dosen't make sense to me.
You can compare yourself with me, I am jobless since July 2006. (Me same batch as you, born in the year of the pig) -

i used to regret NOT studying but i guess i wouldn't be where i am now if not for the past and i no regrets anymore.
think you shouldn't be blaming everything else when its you yourself who don't know what you want to achieve in this life time.Originally posted by silverng:Who here regreted studying?
I really regretted studying for a diploma.
My O level results was fairly good. I got 15 points for 5 subjects and 19 points for 6 subjects. I could go to any course that I want in poly or JC.
I went into poly to take accounting n finance because I took principles of accounts in O level and it was my favourite subject and I got A1 for it
But in poly, I realised that the accounts they teach is very different from the principles of accounts that is taught in secondary school. Plus I don't understand what is being taught and my results were mostly C and D. There were only 5 subjects out of a total of 30 subjects that I got B. None of the subjects I got A.
Than I went into ns and completed in oct 07.
Now is my 1st full time job. I wanted to find a accounts job but couldn't find as all the companies say that I got no experience. They don't want to even give me a chance as if having no experience is a crime.
Although now I have a job and I am being paid a diploma graduate salary, but I feel that my this job is pretty easy and even O level graduates could do it.
So i regretted studying a diploma. If I could turn back in time, I will have chosen to go ns after my O level and than start working. -
Unless u r good at sales and later start yr own company if not just a O get ready to be taxi driver.
Job market is base on paper so just listen to others and work on it. Next time yr regret will be bigger. -
Now difficult because most have a degree.Originally posted by silverng:Who here regreted studying?

Did you take your diploma because you wanted to do accountancy or was it because it seem like a path to a job which "earns alot of money"?Originally posted by silverng:Temasek Polytechnic.
Ya lor. I start to feel that I am fated not to do accounts job.. -
being accountant doesnt mean you will earn a lot of $$
DO you takes to earn that amount of $$.
Just like being a lousy doctor, u still earn a shit salary. So it really depend on you. -
For Acc assistant job, usually employer look for female and not male. guess that is demoralizing. Mostly also Malaysians doing and willing to go low salary.Originally posted by silverng:Temasek Polytechnic.
Ya lor. I start to feel that I am fated not to do accounts job..
It is competitive and you have to face lots of cold shoulder. Why not think of becoming a banker or otherwise some bank job. -
In the long run, diploma is still better. More prospects for pay raise and promotions.

then what can u work as with an O level cert?Originally posted by silverng:I regretted studying.
If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have gone into JC or Poly. I will have went to ns after O level and ord already I will start working
Think long long term... Unless you have the ambition, plans, sources, contacts, ideas and financial support to start a business, your future is limited...
Even if you sign on in the army, it is hard for you to even raise to the rank of a staff sergeant because you have just an O level cert.
And one thing you should learn in life... Don't regret over what has been done... There are too many things for one to achieve in life, and a truly successful person will be one who will make do with what he/she has and what he/she has gone through, to rise above and soar. -
I'm opposite, I regretted not study well. If I could turn back the time, I'd rather get good grade for my PSLE and probably end myself up in Express stream, then probably now in JC or Poly, instead of ITE.
It sucks, when I regret now. So TS, please don't regret, cos, in-order for me to get a bloody diploma cert. It will take me a good five years. -
i repeated my o lvls, first time 28 and 2nd time 18
i'm still a worser student than you but my result says that i'm either getting a A or B+
Why is that so? -
with your dip, i think you will get some exemptions for acca...that is if you want to do accounting...otherwise go get a degree, you will also get exemptions for relevant subjects....unless you run your own firm or become an agent in real estate of insurance, the more education you have the more you will earn...that's for sure....but if you have to compete with cheaper ft, then good luck...
-
To answer one of the the threadstarter's question, I never regretted studying.
-
You cannot compare like that. some courses are really good with good prospect and highly paid salary. Courses like optometry in SP or marine time engineering can fetch you a minimum pay of at least 3.2k with just a diploma and good employment rate
