education. scene 1 act 1

man this topic has been on my mind for quite some time. since i entered uni and lately it evolved into somethin larger during the dec holz when i had nothin better to do than reflect on life and what i wanted out of it. and apparently education was a hotly debated topic (between me and myself that is).

so whats the big deal about education? someone tell me please. i cannot understand how a person with a paper qualification is so much better than one who doesnt. does a business student who just graduated with first class honours have better business sense than the owner of Creative? who are the better mechanics? a graduate from the engine faculty with the right knowledge or a seasoned mechanic? followin me so far? if anything, that paper qualification only proves that you are good memorizing and applying what you have learnt.... but on paper.

now dun get me wrong. i aint bashin blindly at all highly educated people. but it irks me when these highly educated ppl complain that they got passed on a job offer coz someone of lower academic qualifications got it instead. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FRESH AIR MAN. life's not all about paper qualifications. your character, your attitude, your communication skills. all that counts for a whole lot more. it aint a surprise that a lot of SG companies that or any companies for that matter aint doin well when they put too much emphasis on paper qualifications.

so if i were to set up a business or company, are you wonderin if i will overlook paper qualifications. while i dun wanna employ a dumbass, if he can prove to me that he's worth the money that he demands, then he'll be mine. no o levels, no worries.

alright i'll stop here for the time being before this blog entry gets too long. will continue with the other parts soon.

i was born smart. education ruined me
