During my time at ITE i had lots of friends who dropped out of poly because they had just too much fun. So i think its how well you take your journey, not focusing too much on which path you take

sometimes not because you have not focus ... but its sooo freaking distracting when time to raid WOW at 8pm ... and ppl start jamming the phone asking "LF1M" !!! lololol ...
little known fact in the aerospace industry,
ITE students who are pursuing NITEC aerospace tech/avionics certs are the ones tasked to show the ropes to poly aero students on certain procedures and analysis on troubleshooting aircraft problems. Impressive if you ask me considering that poly aero students are all the cream of the crop.

Although I was not an ITE student (wonder how many of those who replied here are/were) but I think that even if you have an MBA or a PhD - it'd be quite a disgrace and an outright sin if you can't display a basic understanding, and grasp a simple concept that life for each and everyone of us - is different.
The genes that we inherit, the home environment that we were brought up or being brought up in, the friends that we make, the different people we meet everyday - all affect our lives in some way or another, and influence the various decisions we make in life.
I don't instantly associate laziness with someone who is studying in ITE, nor do I think that his career choices will be that limited that he will forever have to work, rewarded on a system of remuneration that is hourly based, ie. a blue collar worker. I think being presumptuous and having the tendency to jump to conclusions, are signs of very average intelligence.
Besides, many ITE students I know have progressed to become well-paid, skilled professionals and even entrepreneurs.
More importantly though - what does it all mean if you have all the education that you had the time and money for (not necessarily the brains) but do not have a single laudable contribution to society, your family and your friends?
It means nothing.
Although there is nothing wrong with studying for the sole purpose of possibly sailing through life with ease and not worry about money but I have definitely much more respect for those who study for the sole purpose of equipping themselves with knowledge that they have decided will help them contribute to society and humankind.
It's quite revolting when you encounter people with seemingly admirable academic credentials but in the end, these characters will appear to be quite incapable of communicating effectively with others. They will use big words to showcase their so-called superior intellect but ultimately, they will fail to convey very basic messages effectively, or even offer a credible rebut to points in a debate.
This especially applies to those with racist tendencies, a regular irritating occurrence in online forums nowadays.
Often, they will dismiss others who try their best to discuss with civility and offer their own points of views in a manner that are meant to be understood by people of different intellectual capacities, as 'pseudo (whatever)'.
Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that it doesn't matter what kind of knowledge you plan to acquire, it doesn't matter sometimes where you study but if you can't do anything useful with it and help others - it may just end up as a waste of your time and your (or your parents') money.
See education not as a simple means of sustaining yourself or maintaining a certain lifestyle that you desire, for a merely personal benefit.
It will be definitely be more worthwhile and satisfying when you see education purely for the purpose of personal development and altruism.
I speak from the experience of having many friends who, after studying for many years and then going through the drudgery of their daily (well-paying) jobs - they feel a clawing void in their lives, only going through the motions without being feeling they have really done something with their lives.
Life MUST mean more to you than to just study so that you can get a good job to be able to save enough for your retirement and then hope you live long enough to enjoy what you have worked hard for.
Life may not turn out to be what you hoped it would be, but it'll be worthwhile if you know you have helped others in one way or another.

Ya, one of my friends is possibly looking at an overseas stint (most probably US) with the RSAF doing aerospace technical work.
I told him - not bad, got fat overseas allowance, relocation for your whole family and all for the four years, for an ah beng in his early 20s with just an ITE certificate.
Hehehehehe...

I think the society links intelligence to academic ability so strongly that somehow the society stereotypes those who are weak in academia as 'stupid' hence the inevitable social stigma.
You cant conclude someone's intelligence purely by looking at his academic results or even IQ tests. Because such academic tests or IQ tests only assess a narrow range of our cognitive abilities..
One may fail utterly in mathematics and language, but he may be exceptionally gifted in music. Can you compare him with some with a Phd and say for sure that he is any less "intelligent"?

ITE is never "It's The End."
This is because, it(education) is only the end if you stop pursuing education.
But nothing wrong with having degree of PhD either, I'm pursuing degree and personally I want to get a PhD or some people might call it "permanent head damage", why? Simply for the fun and the enjoyment of studying and the sense of achievement that I can give myself..lol
With a PhD, I can finally publish my book out, "how to date girls?", "1001 to get laid", and "101 ways to a healthy break-ups" - something you can't do without a degree. Don't believe me? Check all motivational books, they all are PhD backed because society links this certificates as an assurance to 'my' bullshit.. haha!
And it goes the same in politics, high-level corporate management, etc..

WELL SAID. The best thing i've read you've written in all your posts so far.
I'm even extracting this bit to quote so it's repeated!:mrgreen:

Excellent. Kudos.

I believe that its not about where you are but rather how you get there in the end.I studied in an international school and i have seen kids who never cared two hoots about their studies and ended up in no mans land upon graduation so if you think its about where you are at,think again.With willpower and determination,anyone can get to where they are and ITE actually provides opportunities for their students now as well,i believe
