i think we shld be thankful that at least the govt subsidizes
the tertiary education in sg. when i was in the states, $ was a top
concern for the students there when choosing a uni. even though
their results might be good enough to make it into an Ivy League,
they might think twice about enrolling into one simply bcos the
tuition fees of such schools are way too high. it's at least 10
times more than what we pay! so at least in sg, everyone is given
the chance to study in uni without being resticted by $. n i must
say, NUS, NTU and SMU are all good and reputatble universities!
n, i dun think the aim to "be one's own boss" should be just so
that he/she can slack. for me, i want to be an entrepreneur next
time, to be in a business which i have interest in and that i'm
passionate for. in that sense, i will be much happier working, n i
will get the sense of satisfaction (and $ ;p) when i see my
business grow and expand.
