and so it is...

everything in life is so ironic.

people who don't have the necessary education is perceived/stereotyped as incapable or not diligent, unintelligent. those used to be grandparents' sort of thinking. just because they couldnt get a proper education back in those days, therefore, their future generations need to be assured they'll receive the proper education they require, to be of use to the society and contribute accordingly.
whereas those who study too much (and when i say too much i mean MBA and above) seem to be having all the power and glory and money etc etc, they are at the same time, inflexible and boring. straight minded people, typical of academics. where is something called balance? is it seriously unattainable?

and so my colleague recommends i shouldnt study anymore because studying more also makes one dull-minded and annoying to others around.
ya, probably so - in any case, studying kills brain cells? haa!

well, you also those who don't understand the importance of having a full education. oh well. simple minded perhaps?
even now, in today's society, it is mandatory for those applying to be steward/stewardess to have at least an A level or Poly Diploma. or has it changed to a minimum degree? i wonder only because most girls now flying with the national carrier are degree holders... but it's a smart choice no doubt - get to travel the world whilst earning money, buy branded stuff from anywhere & everywhere. get to understand different cultures, become more affluent, network etc etc... the perks goes on and on.
the point is, just a few years ago, to be a steward/stewardess, you only need a minimum O level. But look what it has become now. hopefully they'll consider work experience as a deciding factor...

times are getting harder. money seems harder to earn.
so make the most out of your money.
don't work for money, but make your money work for you.
yes. i want to achieve that someday!

out with the negative, and in with the positive! ;)
