I.E. intelligence enhanced
i was combing a few buildings today for potential educational cilents. as such that, it came to my surprise how many educational centres existed in singapore. All posting almost the similar kind of degrees, BAs, MBA, bla bla bla...but from different universities; aside from the normal known tertiary institution like polytechnics and local unis. it is also amazing to see so many people going for courses, upgrading themselves, queueing up to get the flyers and informations.
a thought off the busy trash-brain of mine. just how many educational centres are genuinely proven good? is it got to do with the syllabuses taught in the textbook? or is it the student themselves? Our very own Informatics are rumoured to suck to core. in fact none of my friends or relatives had a positive comment about them.
looking at a humanely level or angle. it's always good to upgrade yourself in every aspect. or maybe enrich is a better word. we never stop learning. there are a million more things we've to learn apart from those learnt from the textbooks. just as they theoratically proven. it's also needed as much to be proven practically. does it apply what you've learnt?
or is it the kiasu culture that has been injected into every singaporean lives to quench the thirst of materialism? meaning you need a piece of paper( degree/ diploma) in order to survive in singapore. also meaning you can closed your eyes, take a pebble and throw at a crowd of singaporeans. you bound to hit a graduate. if you looked at another angle, it will be like selling yourself to companies, MNCs, SMEs, bla bla. telling people to hire you only because you have Ba in bla bla bla; or double Ba; Masters in bla bla bla; or even PhD.
there are getting more people trying to stick the field of experty they studied. after all they paid so much for a degree. if you are not going to do what you've studied, is it a waste?
