Why are people stereotyping ITE students? Funny because I've known
some friends whom only obtain like "O" levels and apparently they
are more street smart than most degree students, probably due to
the apparently "harsher" real life experience, you know, the
survival skills. The thing is, there are many "O" level bosses,
mostly from private companies because government companies, as many
already know, only look at grades and qualifications. I mean if the
world works like government companies, there would be no Bill
Gates, he drop out of university last time. There will be no alot
of things, such as planes because people laugh at the Wright
brothers. Is ITE qualification lower than "O" levels? I mean if "O"
level people can be boss of companies where degree students are
trying to get their job in, why can't you guys give ITE students a
chance in life?
ITE students already had a hard time coping with the demands from
parents, the unfair criticism flying from all corners, besides,
does anyone here still believe in the old saying, study hard and
you will get a good job and therefore you will live a great life?
Have you people read, at least in Singapore, that degree students
driving cab for a living, or highly educated people rotting at home
coz they can't get a job for months?
I'm not saying education is not good, in fact it's encouraged to
study as much as possible, to promote lifelong learning, but to
unfairly apply your personal ideals on how ITE students should be,
are, and behave is definitely not right.
