my future.

ivan has completed his O levels with pretty good results back in 2006. he wasted a year in SAJC in 2007 and went on to spend 2008 in Temasek Poly doing his diploma in hospitality and tourism management. this year, he is in his second year of his diploma but is a little confused. he spent the whole of last night and this morning brainstorming...

Plan A
ivan shall continue working hard in poly, get his diploma and enter NS. after NS, he can choose to have a lowly-paid job at the age of maybe 23 for a few years then go on to obtain a degree at some university then get married. he finds a fun relaxing job and earns maybe a pay of $3000-$4000 a month perhaps? he has more time for himself and is not too stressed up at work. he lives in a simple house, drives a humble car, leads a simple life.

Plan B
ivan shall withdraw from poly now and enter NS this year. he would have wasted his poly fees away. after NS, he will be around 21 years old, he flies overseas to do foundation studies and go on to pursue his childhood ambition of being a lawyer, he does a Bachelor of Laws at a university. overseas education and living fees plus forfeiting his poly education fees, he would have spent around $250,000 to obtain the degree. if he does well, he pursues further education in the area of law.

otherwise he just flies back to singapore at the age of around 26 to find a job, get married and pocket a high pay. however, as a lawyer it may be his ambition but because of the competitiveness of the job, he has to work long hours and be very stressed. high pay, but less time for leisure. choosing this plan, he would have wasted years 2007 and 2008 away not obtaining anything. he could however be living in a big house, driving a big car and having an extravagant life.

if i still have anyone reading this emo rotten blog of mine, please tag on my tagboard to tell me which plan is better, time is running out. thanks.
