Reading vs Making Buckz

Many complained about work. Many stated that if they were given a choice to go back to school, they would. Many advised those who are still studying to enjoy school before they have to work. This made me come up with these questions.

Is working life that bad? Is schooling so great?

I had quite a number of friends asking me which one i prefer; school or work. Read on and you'll know my answer.

I LOVE GOING TO WORK! It is not that I don't like studying. I love studying too especially in uni. However, there are so many constraints compared to working. See, there are a lot of subjects taken in uni but i SWEAR to you, barely 5 is even used in the working world. Talking about university syllabus. *siiggghhhh* Back in uni, we do not have that much choices of which subjects to take as we are tied down with the program we enrolled in. Well, you can take the subjects you want but you'll be spending more time in uni and that would cost more money. :p Mmm...maybe it is the Bachelor/Degree level. I'll NEVER EVER do another in my life. I guess Degree/Bachelor is the worst level in studying; it drains students and make them hate studying.

Anyway, IF I'm given the opportunity (and of coz buckz) to study again, I wanna do all of the following (in priority order).
1. MBA
2. MIT (I would like to major on management...as in software management or quality assurance!)
3. Cert./Dip. in Culinary Arts (this would prepare me to cook edible stuff in the future and who knows...even open a Book Cafe ;) )
4. Cert./Dip in MassComm (odd but I like hosting!....*talk,blab,enthusiasm,smile,camera,people*)
5. Cert./Dip in Interior Designing ( this would help me make my lil crib heaven..not just for me but for my family in the future. )

Uni/College I've eyed on?
a. Carnegie Mellon!..I'll do MIT+MBA there!!!Gosh! *i wishhh*
b. Aberdeen!
c. Binary College.

I don't foresee a and b happening :( *Unless there will be some miracles happening in the future...* As for item number 3-5, I'm not too sure where I wanna get it done.... :/

I'm getting drawn onto another topic so easily so pardon me. Lemme get back to the main topic of this post. Some of the many reasons I prefer to work becauseeeee

1. I have my own bucks! I control it. I run out of it, it is a problem but my problem.
2. With number 1, I can buy whatever I feel like having but couldn't have back then when I'm still schooling coz I can't keep asking moneh from my parents,rite? It would be too much!
3. Back to item number 1 again, I can buy ANY books I want. RM150 per book is expensive to my parents but not for me. And no, I do not have to ask for permission to buy and settle with a 2nd best book just because the best is the most expensive. LOL!
4. I have my own ride! Back in school..I have to wait for my dad...sux when u depend on others to get ur stuff done....coz they barely go with your plan and the things may get complicated. Though I have to drive, it is quite OK coz I pretty much have my time under my control. I plan. I execute!
5. My parents seem to understand my working hours. They still ask what time I'm coming home. They still wonder why I'm late but I've got a reason to be late; WORK. And work pretty much solves all the wonders. =p See...if I were to go out with a friend and be home at 10pm, my parents would be furious...especially when I left home early in the morning. With work, I can be out of the house for more than 12hours without questions asked. Wonderful but do they know that I have to sit and stare at screen all the time? *siiigghhhhh*
6. I dont' have to iron and wear the same boring uniform 5 days a week...well, wearing uniform is pretty boring but it helps in some ways; you do not have to think of what to wear! Well, now I can wear formal attire to work...downside?I have to do the thinking. EVERYDAY. Lol!
7. I can have my hair long and I can let it down! Damn!School made me tie it up the whole day...even when I don't feel like tying it up.
8. I can wear hair accessories other than black and white in colour. *phhhewwwww* You guys in school, stay monocoloured. K? =p There are soooooo many beautiful hair accessories. Even a purple or green hair tier is enough to complement the outfit you're wearing!
9. I can bring handbags to work! =p
10. I can wear jewelleries! Silver. Gold. Plastic. Beads. Pearls. You name it! I can wear ALL to work! And no one cares about the sizes!
11. I could go on and on and on <*ya know me...* but I decided to stop at 10!>

Well, if you wonder why I do not state "No homework" and "No exams"...I do not hate them. =) And guess what? There is no way to stop doing homework or having exams. Even as a working adult, you still see it and still have to handle it. Just that you may have not realized. ;) You always need the extra reading to find out more about something to get parts of your tasks done..and yes, there are deadlines. Exams? Well, your progress is always monitored by your supervisor! Go figure!
