He doesn't understand what is being taught and just pass with c and d grades.

He tried to do accounting jobs but he couldn't do it. He changed around 20 jobs in 7 years, most of the jobs is because the company did not confirm him during probation as he does not know how to do accounts.

Than he found a admin job with salary 2k. He find the job easy and he likes the manager too. But the company is very stingy and only give the staffs around $50 increment a year.

After he work for 5 years, he found another admin job with salary 3k so he resign.

He work in the job for 1 month and feel stress so he resign. After that he couldn't find another admin job.

Now he works as a cashier in supermarket earning less than 2k a month.

I ask him does he feel that he wasted 3 years in poly. He say this is how he comfort himself.

In poly, he wanted to work part time on the weekends. He was very nerdy at that time and he don't even know there is jobstreet to find job. He calculated at that time part time jobs pay around $5 a hour. If he works 8 houra a day on weekends and 5 days a week during school holidays, he can earn around 13k in the 3 years. But with o level qualifications he can only earn around 1.5k a month. He calculated the extra salary that he earns as a diploma holder and it exceeds 13k. So this is how he comfort himself that he did not waste 3 years in poly.

What do you think about him?

Instead of doing useless admin work, he should have learnt a trade and become an electrician or a plumber. :cool:

He should shoot his parents for insisting he study accounting.
 
It's always a bad idea to pursue something just to follow the crowd, or something which 'makes a lot of money'.

That is foolishness.

Know thyself: that is the only lesson in life, The most important lesson.
 
Imuho even he can do superb accounting and went on to getting ACCA with his character he might end up as Gansiokbin the leetired accountant :geek: KNN
 
I find out the same hard way that accounting cannot be taught. It can only be nurtured. Thankfully I could make a living in the M&E sector.

What a fucking loser. Not if it’s NS that cause him to have such warped thinking. No wonder PAP has no qualms to import CECAs to replace losers like him.

this guy like quite poor thing and not streetwise......anyway if everyone is so smart like us, who will clear our rubbish n do all the sai kang? :biggrin:
 
He should have stayed on with the stingy company that give him $50 increments. At least he's comfortable and happy there. Not everyone is meant to earn big bucks.
 
Cannot do accounting but can do admin...talk about a tall story
Not really. No matter what, accounting still involves some technical knowledge whereas admin can be downright simple tasks such as filing, data input or replying some emails.
