True. Alot of tertiary students I met have no aim, or goal
whatsoever. Whether they develop early or late, it's never too late
to learn. But to be honest, I've learnt nothing for the past 12
years. I always believed school was there to pique your interests
in subjects, to help you improve as a kid, to mature as a
teen/young adult.
But who am I kidding, it's Singapore's education system.
We need to go way back, when these kids are in primary and
secondary schools. They need dreams, goals etc. Not being pounded
by parents/MOE to produce top grades with the knowledge of the
heavens, but the common sense of a mental patient.
Seriously ... when I was a student, I have no idea what I wanted
to do too .. It was only when I came out to work then I realised I
have an interest in this line, then I went on with it ..
Of coz, a lot of kids now study what their parents want them to
.. like engineering or accounting or finance, in order to get a
good paying job in the future..
