Monday, March 20, 2006Life journey is always a rocky one, full of ups and downs that falls in front of one's path. No straight way, no shortcuts, but only countless bends accompanied by hardship and blood. How I wish life would have been simpler if I'm born with a silver spoon. Then all you need to is just forking out money and poaching talents in your quest to uncover the legendary fountain of wealth.
Initial thoughts and social norms always portrays an image of Life Science students on a road of easy success after graduation. "They are the smarter batch of the bunch and are fortunate to clinch a spot in their dream course!" How true is this stereotype? "smarter"? Probably... "fortunate"? Never! Who will ever understand how difficult the road to success will be in the Life Science related fields?
Had heard from a senior that local Universities are only offering close to 10 spots in Life Science related degree courses to the Polytechnic students in Singapore. Ignoring all other factors and taking into concern that only one out of several thousands will be offered the chance into local Universities. How possible will that be? Thinking if results play major role in your future footsteps? Yes, definitely! But how many with GPA 4.0 will there be? Will this so called "perfect" aggregate ensure you a spot? NEVER!
Choosing overseas Universities may be the only made possible option for us Polytechnic students if we want a better life. Who will ever wish to be a nobody in his entire live? No fame, no life, no dignity, no egoism, no future = NO MONEY! High school fees to be taken care of... Moreover living expenses! Much more, living away from your love ones and making you worry for their well being. That is the greatest obstacle to overcome.
With just a Diploma, who will take such risk to put important multi million project on your hand? How will one be able to support his family and provides a satisfying life for the one he loves? His wife to suffer and worry about survivor? His kid to be held in the captive of "zero-luxury"? His parents having bad retirement instead of a golden moment in life?
"Money, the root of all evil."? "Money, the root of infinite possibilities!"
