Our Real Journey Begins NOW!
My parents always tells me this,
" Sam, enter university and study hard hard now to obtain professional skills such as computer engineering, architectonics, chemical engineering. After that, be your own boss and take 70% of the loots and you'll live a rich & happy life! "
Many secondary school leavers have no idea about the financial crisis they're going to face. Not all probably, many students realized the importance of having scholarships. But little do they know the crisis they're going to face in the future...
I believe majority of the secondary school leavers wants to live a luxurious life. Who doesn't? Imagine yourself living in a humongous mansion, 6 air-conditioners switched on 24/7. Your garage are parked with 2 of your very own Lamborghini & Ferrari.
Many high school leavers think that after graduated from university they're going to get hired into a big company and live a luxurious life with the pay check they're getting from the boss or the company itself. That's a false fact. A ship engineer at my country here has RM30,000 a month and that's not even enough to live a true luxurious life. RM70,000 and above is considered luxurious! Imagine the cars you can buy! BMW! Of course..it'll still be difficult to own a Lamborghini & Ferrari.
"But I'm an engineer of PhD and I'm hired into a big company that pays me RM30,000 a month!"
"But I'm an engineer of PhD and I'm hired into a big company that pays me RM30,000 a month!"
Sure. Your boss only has a degree and he hires you with a PhD in Engineering for RM30,000 a month while he loots in HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS a month!
Not to mention, how much chances do you think you're going to get hired for a company that pays you for RM30,000 a month now? That kind of paycheck is available overseas ONLY! How about your age? You don't seriously think the moment you jump into your field of course you're going to get that kind of salary right? Before the age of 30? I don't even think hitting the age of 40 will get you that kind of salary yet.
Heh, this is what I observed about secondary school leavers. If you're one of the secondary school leavers reading this, before flaming me try to analyse your situation properly. Ask yourself these questions:
-What kind of life do you want to live?
-When do you want to live that kind of life?
-How much salary do you intend to have per month/year?
-Is it enough for the kind of life do you want to live?
If you're doing that, that is a proof that you're really thinking about your financial control & life. Money is certainly not everything, but without money, what can be done? Luxurious life? Forget about it. I don't know about you. But this is what has been running through my mind day & night.
