Should I quit school to pursue my interest?

[AverRal]

I would advise you to quit your course, and try out the real world for a year, and maybe save up enough money to study again? If Singapore does not offer the course that you want, you can always look at studying abroad for a crash course/short course, and come back better skilled, and differentiate yourself from the crowd.

You got to change the mindset that "paper is everything in singapore". I disagree, in fact, your portfolio is everything in the real world. Most employers don't even give a dam about looking at your degree nowadays, for interviews, they want to see what you have done, where have you worked, what are your industry experiences. Your performance and social skills are more important, and most importantly, who you know.

I do have a degree, but I have never used it. the ironic thing is that, if i had known I would be an entrepreneur, i would have dropped pursuing my degree, and started writing earlier? and be happier as a result? but i was so caught up with the materialistic world of 5Cs to ignore my real passion which is writing. So now i a full time writer, and part time entrepreneur. no regrets, because I have the best of both worlds. But its fcking hard work, that is all i have to say, and good luck in your decision

quit?you sure??..hahaha...in later life when you see your friends from poly or uni earning more money than you and more successful than you,then you realise that becoming a luthier in spore doesnt earn much and luthier business isnt gonna be good as its quite competitive and you cant charge expensive.etc a lot of thing to consider....some interest can just be a hobby or leisure and some could make a career in life...in spore you know what is practical and what is not....to quit poly and pursue
guitar luthier career is quite a high risk...how much can you earn working as guitar technician for guitar shops??hahahah...unless you have a rich family and back up,you can try...

since you are already year two, finish the course!

you may not know when you may need a diploma paper

for other things in future. If you quit, you will not get the

tuition grant from government again, which is quite a lot

of money.


I'm glad in my late teens, I did not gave up my poly studies;

right now with the knowledge in engineering, it gave me an edge

in computer music.


You are 21 and finished NS, hold on for 2 years to graduate then

think of realizing your dreams !!!

You can start work with a job using your diploma and save up money

to move foward to your dream job.


Life in Singapore is tough and competitive. We all need money to survive.

Think twice before quitting school !!!
