Rat Race

Here is every student's rat race:

• To earn the highest level in the education system
• To make my parents proud
• To finish my studies a.s.a.p
• To enjoy life as much as I can before I grow too old for it
• To start working & not study anymore

That up there is what most student are racing to complete. Parent's are just pushing kids to see them grow to be successful & earn a respectful paper qualification. Sometimes it is a good thing to push a kid but here's a students perspective on the rat race; mine.

Indeed I'm part of that rat race. Indeed I want to do all that & be successful but unlike students who are trying so hard at it, I like taking my time. I believe that there's no point trying to earn a degree just by studying the books & listening to lecturers lecturing till thy kingdom come. It's better if you're interested in actually trying to learn new things & experience it. I think it's better if what you learn in school you try to practice it but there's no point in it if you're going to school for the sake of your parents. There's not a point if you try to rush off your studies just because you don't want your parents to pay your tuition fees the whole length you're in school. If you don't want that option here's a better choice, PAY YOUR OWN FEES. If you can't afford it get yourself a FULL SCHOLARSHIP. No point sighing over if I study longer my parents are going to pay more.

It's better if you pay your own fees or partially to lessen the burden because if you try to finish studies as fast as you can and end up failing 90% of it; you're actually wasting your parents money even more then you prolong your tuition. So why not in the meantime whilst you're studying get a job or get a semester break job. It is advisable if you get a job based on what you're studying because if you do graduate with flying colours & with a strong resume you might actually secure yourself a very steady job. ;) However, if you do not graduate with flying colours but just on average & you still hold a bloody good resume you still are able to secure yourself a job. It's an advisable thing well I thought myself to believe in it. I don't care how long it takes me to complete my studies as long as I do complete & in the meantime build my resume. Well at least I do have a job in the end of it. Nowadays students are left without jobs after securing a degree or a diploma. The street smart students are often the ones to acquire good jobs where else book smart always end up in a good company but will maintain unhappy.

It's better to make your passion your job with that you'll be able to do your job to best of it because you would enjoy doing it. If you get into an industry you do not like, you'll perish or if not live a damn sad life. Seen it happening but never was part of it. I try to find jobs I like but it's hard & at times I'm lucky. So my rat race is to fill up my resume in the industry I like, to be independent & complete my studies. I look like a hopeless git always working & enjoying life but at least I'm going somewhere & happy where I am. First comes the joy of working & seeing the success of the output of your hard work. Second comes the money. ;)
