Many kinds of jobs pay more than graduates. It is a myth that a
good uni education is a good start to the job market. Having said
this, of course I want my children to go to uni, unless they
themselves refuse to go. Even then, its not the end. There are
plenty of rich business people who got little to no education yet
live in nice houses in nice districts.
I ever fetched a cleaner a few months ago who became a
millionaire after he started his own cleaning business. He lives in
Thomson Lakeview area.
What about Ah Du, the famous mandarin singer who was once a
construction foreman.
What about the many cabbies out there whose kids got into NUS
and dated student doctors and lawyers? Its ok if we failed in life and became a
cabby, just make sure next generation dont end up like us. I
am sure there are doctors, lawyers, bankers and accountants whose
parents were either hawkers or cabbies.
Bro, objection, I do not think that life failed and became a
cabby, for some, it can be reborn or life get better, some cabbies
are rich fellow, they just drive to pass time, or at least keep
themselves active, most are the older cabbies, even their childrens
tell them to stop driving, they still go on the road for a few
hours, if you said that they failed, no, they used their bare hands
and brain to earn a living, they raise childrens to University who
are filial piety to them, but they choose to be a cabby just
because of one emotion...Happy
