i had this very pragmatic approach then..
i go to poly, i learn skills and get a diploma.. and if i'm good
enough, i get to go to uni with a year's exemption...
i go to JC, i learn... subjects which i'll probably forget and no
skill.. i get A-levels.. which is inferior to a diploma.. and if
i'm good enough, i get to go through uni.. without
exemptions...
however, my folks are not very enlightened..
it's your life.. do think about where you want to go
