30+ with a england degree, and still driving taxis to help his
next degree, sound weird to me. With a engkalan degree, he could be
doing some management job to supplement his upgrading, might even
be able to seek company sponsorship.
And with his education background, he could seek various channel
of help from our govt, from EDB to MOE to NTUC.
His good personality aside, just like JR said, shouldn't be
driving a cab, and further more, driving a cab, as most of us know,
damn tiring after a shift, where got time to go study and do
project??
But that is also a mistake some people make in taking their
degrees in foreign unis.
UK unis are ranking based they have maybe like 120 unis. So just
because you get a degree doesnt mean it's very good, if for example
your degree from uni No 90 or something like that. Also depend
which course you took, you took mass comm, forget about it la,
unless the BBC offer you a job, that degree boh pakai. A mechanic
can earn more than you.
So what some do is pursue another degree to back that up or do
their Masters etc. I think this guy was taking his Masters, or
getting a specific degree for a specific job he has in mind. Maybe
you want to become an economist, so your degree in social studies
has some value but not attractive enough to potential employers,
who prefer an econs degree.
As for our Govt, EDB, all TCSS. They will offer you something
really crap, which you probably wont take. Then they say you
choosy. My friend had to wait 2 years after his degree to land a
job he liked at SPH.
Unless you super smart or part of the elite, the EDB, will tell
you to go fly a kite.
