CRAP LAH.
#1 - Not all kopitiam owners earn money, some only can make do wif
daily life.
#2 - Not all chicken rice stalls can haf merc, only really good
sellers.
#3 - Paper Qualification is no good? den u better dont study and
try working for 10 years, you might get a starting pay of 1200 (+5%
multiply by 10) and probably near to 2k... if U R LUCKY. it's 1 out
of a 100000 that gets a raise yearly.. If u study till degree, yer
starting pay = 2k n above. u save the years 10 of them and you
might not have to work that hard.
#4 - Paper Qualification always means advantage. You can hop around
jobs, and get paid nearly the same.. Experience dont, when u haf
totally no paper qualification. And people with paper qualification
can do easier jobs than those w/o.
#5 - Yes you gotta work hard, BUT a paper qualification is a better
investment than a kopitiam, considering kopitiam had to be maintain
and faced serious competitions. Working hard + Paper qualifications
will get u further than just those who had nothing. You try an
office work and see how many hardworking office boys get promoted
to be managers and how many executives get promoted to
managers.
Qualifications does make a big difference.
Application of your quali does make a little more difference.
Diligence does make a big difference.
Luck does not make much difference.

Bebop.
