Win the Degree


Isn't that this paper is important?
How many of you would like to have this paper in your life?

Without this paper,wages will be RM800 to RM1000. And limited choice of job.
With this paper your wages range from RM1600 to RM3500. Wider range of job.

This paper is important for one to get a better paid job. And for the society, what do you think? It means Ohhhh you're a degree holder. Hmmm. You've got that paper.... You must be intelligent, smart, clever. You must know a lot of things I don't know. Your future must be bright. You're much respected. They simply look up at you. Funny huh how our society think...

However it is, I am very happy with RM1000 basic salary I get from working as Sales Executive after my STPM.

I like my job, and wanting to build my career from there. I decided to get this paper out from part time undergraduate program, so that I can still keep the job.

I find out all the needed information, and went to my father. Because I need to get his approval of attending college or school around the town. for this paper. I gave him the best proposal. Convinced him all I can.


Oh well, he listened patiently to my exciting powerful proposal and then he said, "You can only go to the university to get your degree and no where else. I do not wish to repeat myself, do you get what I mean?".

How much I disagree with him, and going to university, I still have to go. Reality takes place that every father has the right to be autocratic on their daughter's life if it means good to them.

Tonight, I am going to share with you, ladies and gentleman, how I play around to get the paper the society think is important. WIN THE DEGREE.

I am not very intelligent compared to others. However, I believe there's a genius in everyone of us to get what they want.

I suffered exam anxiety since STPM. Whenever exam is around the corner, I get migraine, I cannot sleep, I had bad dreams, I become nervous, change of appetite, I get hungry easily.  I can't catch my breath.

Conclusion:
I'm not saying this paper is useless, or this whole education system is wrongly designed. But pick yourself what you want out of life. What I want has nothing to do with getting all the engineering knowledge into my head. But this paper is able to open many doors. Some said this paper act like a passport, with passport you can enter many countries. With this paper you can enter many giant company. I am skillful at certain things in life which paper recognition is unable to label it. To others, this paper means a lot to them, and from this paper they get to where they want. At the end of the day it is all about what you want.

I go around earning a degree of not what I really want. I wasn't all sour about it because at the same time I look at the opportunity to grow myself to I learn how to get to what I need by figuring out the easiest way to reach the goal. In short, it is how you play with the game. I learn to work smart instead of work hard. I learn that there are many alternative routes to get things done or to survive as undergraduate, at the end is about meeting the objective set, win the degree.
