Hi AnimeSakuraTM,
. Perhaps If I may summarise, you
seem to have the following challenges and concerns:
1. You felt that taking the poly route may waste 1
more year of your time.
2. You are afraid of the same bad experience you
had (cannot get along with friends) if you go another JC.
Allow me to comment on the 2nd point first.
It seemed that you are experiencing a 'once bitten twice shy'
complexion which made you a little hesitant about going to the
other JC which your principal is trying to arrange for you.
But if you can overcome this fear of the future by learning
from the past, taking the JC route may still be viable.
Perhaps instead of telling yourself - "No, I had a hardtime
making friends in JC, I am not going to go thru again in the next
JC", u may want to ask yourself, "What went wrong the last time and
how can I do it differently the next time?"
As for point 1, even though you may need an
extra year when comparing with your batch, if you switch to option
2, you will also be one year out of sync with them. I guess
the important may be to ask yourself (if you choose poly) is to
know what you really want to do in future. The mainstream
polys are well established and recognised by industry. Hence
it is worthwhile to invest your time and $$ in proper training and
certification. Better have an established cert later than a
questionable one in short term and then regret later because not
many companies would recognise them. Thinking long term is
important.
Hope this helps.
