while going to the final year, its time to think and consider abt the future. however, it makes no difference from the pri sch guys going to secondary school, or secondary school guys going to colleges. so.. what is the similarity? BRANDS!!

while having discussions with some friends regarding the future, the first thing came out from them was the 3 words “MNC”. What are we actually looking for in our career? Is the “brand” of a company really that important? In fact, our society had already set a standard that a person is considered successful when he is being offered a job in the MNC. There is no doubt that MNC offers high salary to employees. however, the large pool of talents in the MNC might pose threats and induce competitions. Yes, i do agree that competition do helps in bring improvement at times. however, if one is determined to be successful, regardless whether there is presence of competition, it doesnt matter.

Similarly, thousands of sch students are fighting for a place in the few branded schools in singapore. Do branded school have special trained teachers??? no! as mentioned from a friend of mine who is teaching in one of the branded schools in singapore and it is not true that 1st class honours graduates from NIE will be posted to branded sch. in fact, she only had a pass with merit and she’s still being posted to a branded sch.

in my opinion, if you are good, nobody can take your abilities away from you. you will succeed eventually. there is no need to think of how others look at you. quoting from TPK “its usually the middle income are the ones who buy branded goods, the very rich buys imitations” why? because they dont have to show that they are rich. people naturally knows abt it.

back to the career topic. though i have not really decide on where i really wan to work, but at least i had ruled out the possibly of further studying as a postgrad right aft i graduated.
firstly,
i do not wan to dig out anymore money from the bank account. its time to fill some money back and contribute for the family.
secondly,
i feel that the mentality “i cannot find a job/dont know what i wan to work as —> solution is to further study” is just a diversion of the problem. i had made this mistake once and i shall not repeat it again.
