Future life?

As a student in Malaysia, we are studied for exam because of our education style is examination oriented, we have no choice but to take the exam every month, and year. And the result is basically constructed by those "guideline" which changed every year, especially the standard of the grad. More and more student get A in all subjects, not because of their intelligence, perhaps some of them yes. But mostly is the passing mark of the paper has been down graded. Is this phenomenon good, or bad? Would this help Malaysia to become a develop nation in future?

I wonder what to work after my graduation. Sometimes I think, time passes so fast, until I haven't taste enough of my uni's life and not even enjoy much for this precious period. After grad, what am I going to do? Further study [master course] or work? Master course, nowadays, most of the people had the master cert with MBA, normally. But what I worried is, is the society still accept fresh grad with master holder and hire them for work with zero working experience? Or they will accept the one who is just a degree holder fresh grad student, or maybe a master holder but with lots of working experiences? Who will they choose at last?

After consulted many of my friends and lecturers, all of them suggested me to work before continue master study. Why? They said, as an employer, they will rather employ a fresh grad student or an experienced worker more than a master holder fresh grad with zero working experience people. Degree vs Master, firstly is the salary. Nowadays, most of the company aimed for cutting cost for gaining more profit, if they hire a master student but know nothing, the situation is only like bought a vase and put in the company for furnishing. On the other hand, if they hire a fresh grad degree student, mostly the people are willing to learn something new out from school place yet with inexpensive salary. After analyze the conversations, I have made up my mind to work after grad.

Another question popped out after this is, where to work? Gosh.... what a stupid question right? But to me, this is an important question indeed. I am studying Public Relations (PR) and my hometown does not have this kind of firm. So, mostly PR firms will have in KL and Penang which are the places I do not like it, because of the complicated environment. I do not like the way of jamming on the road for few hours; I do not like the way in waiting the LRT or public buses; I do not like the wholly environment of the place! What I prefer is, Singapore, or maybe some other countries. I knew that working at foreign countries have their good and bad, for example, the citizens will treat us as labor, like how we treat those Bangladesh or Indonesian that work in Malaysia also. As what my friend said to me, if they look down you, you just take it as one of your challenge in your life and learn how to pass those toughness day, and one day you will appreciate them for being cruelness and helpless to you. When you reach at that moment, you will not be looked down by them but rather to praise and applaud for your good effort in the company.

For my future, I still have another 8months to go before enter the society. Babe, I knew you hope that I can work in Malaysia and stay with you until you grad, and so for me. But, I am really confused for my decision, I could not make up my mind because I do not want to separate with you too. So, what to do now??

Hmmmm,,...... let's abandon this issue, and think of our trip?! I really love to travel with you, my babe... ^^
