I got a friend who keeps on studying

[default]

so he works as a contractor under my org... i met him maybe <1 yr ago. i was working for the main org he's just working as a vendor... call ctr.

during the course of his stay we were at different sides la, he's on temp im on perm side.

he study until psychology masters and still kept on studying... i think most recent is study dunno what marketing psychology advanced diploma by RP

2 mths ago he told me - hes leaving the job because they told him to OT and he wants to focus on studies

probably is about 50 yo or early 50s, not married. lives with his mum. his dad passed away long ago. they got his hdb mansionette free coz of that


looks avg not bad looking, height probably above 1.75 close to 1.8

was my ex colleague... what do u think of people who study and study

[default]

he got ask me to help him do surveys for his course.


i told him u keep studying but nv get to do jobs which use them, then how is it useful? i told him u should focus on a job then find useful courses... and that govt often dont practise what they preach

i think coz i told him ^, he tulan me. i think no matter what he also relac 1 corner due to the free hdb and mum maybe got some money

i feel he got a bit sth wrong tbh. it's like he rolled a good hero for the game, then prefer to learn skills from warrior, sorcerer, wizard, druid, necromancer, healer class until his skills all gabra then he nv add and use skills properly

then prefer to do side quests rather than main quests until veered off path and tang ping

Nothing wrong with his life

Just look at the scholar who so called quit the rat race. Is he wrong just for not following social norm?

Life is not linear and definitely no template to follow. Not everyone wants to get married, have children, have a white collar job, buy car buy condo and hustle til 80yo

i feel his skills 杂而不精

not say must get married and have kids or do super well in career. just that i feel he 一手好牌 打的稀烂.



but rather his results i dont think v good also. when i was working with him, his work also not say v good.

the people u are talking about is see bey rich lah, that scholar is also very smart type and he is also doing sth on the sideline (the MFA scholar i think u were talking abt)... probably slack and chill and good at talking

this guy isnt quite that. i dont think his studies is zai or super zai


of course it's not jialat until super jialat but basically dont think hes going anywhere........ but ok la he is happy having his mum around and going on holidays with her to china

[default]

actually his type no worries also achieved what many people cant achieve liao

got free hdb mansionette and probably mum got some money

just tang ping and la kopi can liao

He happy can liao and I doubt he's struggling with his life and finance right?

Probably earning quite a lot but of cos potentially can earn even more with his qualifications but he chose not to. Others may see that as a waste but he happy can liao

Exactly loh, he's already a winner. Livelihood and housing not a concern to him liao, now he's just enjoying life which to him is studying and gaining new knowledge?

nope definitely not earning a lot coz i know the payscale... if temp earn a lot then i should be super wu lui liao

actually he didnt do so well at last jobs so he was let go many times... i just feel kind of wasted

but at the same time seems like his mind a bit not right. not those siao or crazy or very stupid just that wired in a weird way.

example like now im not doing well in career. i cannot simply go take MBA and feel it would help me get promoted right

or if i suddenly switch to studying math or law or medicine, then i must be prepared to start from 0 right

cannot be i do a ITE course in nursing, then i do 1 in business statistics.

actually he's doing related courses somewhat but they are not really benefiting him? yet he will quit job to complete the course

wah first of all he was wrong... and that time he was singapore pools employee lah. i did apply for that role like 5-6 yrs ago

i only said coz i got sg pools account then they got see one.

secondly, anyway like u dont say such things to your colleague/friend/superior near the office right? like wire a bit loose like that. i dont think he did it on purpose

but it's all these not on purpose issues thats one of the main reasons why the problems i mentioned above lor

Some ppl are really not suited for certain kinds of work, as in working for others or working in a team. Maybe your excolleague is one of them.

[No guessing game]

I thought nerd is study damn lihai but cannot work one.

I kind of see his work and studies also not rly can one leh.

Like btw the 2, since studies is just follow thru and pass then take more courses since is free or subsidised

Frankly i think damn bo liao tbh. I rather he go full time job. Get a wife. Get a hobby, get more friends etc also more useful than keep studying and end up nv use them in the work

Or even do social work or sth

Is this fruitful or is it plain wasting time? I frankly think is fucking wasting time

If i were him just find full time job then tang ping and slack and do what i like can liao

But maybe doing tonnes of courses is his hobby bah
