Does school really matter?

[jut703]

Ask the millions who are under employed or un employed if school really matters.

Am sure there are exceptions. But i wouldnt risk it if i were you,

This is a big pet peeve of mine. We hear success stories of people coming from humble educational backgrounds who make it big whether in corporate, business, or showbiz.

What people don't acknowledge is that this is the EXCEPTION, not the rule.

For every one success story, how many stories of underemployment/unemployment/poverty do we have?

Sa mga gustong magtrabaho sa Singapore, being a graduate from a good school is one of the factors (but not the only one) in getting your employment pass approved.

Here's an inspiring story I stumbled upon - a street kid works his way towards a scholarship in Germany.

From sleeping in slums to a scholarship in Germany

Eto yung sinasabi niyong, "nasa tao yan". All circumstances were against him - poverty, broken family, public education - but he was able to rise above these.

Caveat though, this is again an exception to the rule. For every Daniel Dejapin, there are millions of street children who succumb to their circumstances and fail to rise out of poverty. Their difference? Daniel's unwavering commitment to education, and admittedly a fair bit of luck in finding a caring NGO.
