u say u no clue to yr career or wadeva course...then may i noe
wad course are you taking now in ite? just continue taking that
course, see if u like to have a career in it or not, and make yr
life enriching by doing other stuff, for e.g. helping out in
diff places, eg hospitals, go take up part time jobs and explore
things that you have never done before...maybe liddat you will find
sth u rly like and thus will know wad u want for your future and
will also work hard since u have a goal.
ite>poly>uni is not impossible. irrc i know eagle
mentioned b4 in some threads that he know someone who went thru
this route. a route less trodden on but still possible as long as u
work hard lor.
currently i also like u liddat, life not so sweet for me cos i
kena retain in jc1 cos never study at all...while im attending my
headstart programme in jc now, i have opened up another route for
myself by applying for jae to ngee ann biomed engg, then from there
go uni...meanwhile im still considering if im going to poly or
staying in jc...life is not a cookie cutter, doesnt mean all
must go by same route, yr end point is yr career, not uni. So find
sth u like first then u work hard for it, if u tried yr best but
still cant make it to uni doesnt mean its the end. (ite doesnt mean
its the end either, no pun intended)
i work at mbs as part time waitress before so i know some of the
'managerial' positions supervisors never go uni b4, its hard
work,leadership, determination to work hard for the
company and intiative that brought them to the top and
they rly take pride in their work. one of them i know has his own
condo and car, but then again, having a career isnt all abt money,
its also abt enjoying it.
most important thing is u enjoy wad u will do 
ya i agree, paper at most grants an entry... how well u survive
and climbs is independent of what is on the paper.
