I learned more about life in school compared to what I should be learning from a textbook. With regrets hanging such as why I didn’t study hard enough and wasted the 3 years away with a GPA that leaves me with nowhere to go after I ORD.
I always had this mindset that results aren’t important, that just getting the cert is enough. Everyone is trying to out do each other, everyone is getting a degree, it has become a norm that degree has become the benchmark. Society has taught us that to have successful life one must be able to have a better qualification than others. The most obvious qualification would be from a piece of paper. Up front and it’s black and white.
Before you even get short listed for a interview they would see your qualification, before they consider you. Yes in this modern time, they say interview is more important, would a boss take a risk to hire you who has no qualification compared to someone who does? It’s all talk during an interview, if you don’t have any evidence to back you up, how do you expect the person interviewing you to give you a chance?
In a society where majority have become so narrow minded and the only way that one can succeed is to have a better qualification and in the attempt to achieve that you leave yourself a trail of debts.
How in that way do you consider yourself to be successful when you end up working to pay off your debts? That’s only debts from education? How about housing? And other debts that you will end up having?
We are only humans trying to make a living, the rich get richer while the average joe do their best to survive, to dream of a better life. But life is unfair and it’s selfish, no matter what is said, at the end of the day, how you end up depends on yourself.
Some people have it easy because they are born into a well to do family, while others, they try their hardest to give their all, in an attempt to make it out of the vicious cycle of poverty but opportunity has only space for a handful, how about the rest who are unable to make it?
Do they fall into depression and give up all hopes of getting backup. Some do, while other try and try, failure after failure, they fight with the new batch of people for that opportunity and only those who are worthy and lucky enough finally break through it.
We have live so long depending on evidence, seeing is believing. That we need such things as certificate to back you up, whereas what you are able to offer is brush away, because you didn’t have the qualification to create an opportunity for yourself to showcase what you have.
In short, everyone has an equal opportunity, you just got to be at the top to be able to grab it, because if you don’t cherish the opportunity given to you, someone else will.
