Does school really matter?

Anyway, MAPUA today is not equal to MAPUA yesterday.. So di na ganun kahirap ang MAPUA ngayun.

Agree and disagree din ako dito. Why agree? I am one of the first product ng quarterm system nila. Ang bilis dumaan ng lesson sa akin na parang hangin lang. Pero hindi naman ito naging hinder sa akin sa pag graduate at sa kung ano man ako ngayon. Naipasa ko naman ang board exam ko in just one take.

Disagree dahil maganda na ang status ng Mapua ngayon. Bumalik na ang Mapua sa top ng engineering board exams. Just recently lang, ilang Mapuans na ang nag top at pumasok sa top 10 ng mga engineering board exams. I have to say na mukhang they're doing good nowadays.

To TS, kahit saang school ka magpunta, dadating at dadating sa point mo ang "magsunog ng kilay at umiyak ng dugo" sa pag-aaral. Take it as part of your student life. Its a matter of paano mo siya i-tatackle once the situation kicks in. Kelangan mong magsumikap to graduate, to achieve your goals in life.

May weight pa rin ang school kahit papaano. Between 2 average graduates from a well-known school vs an unknown school, the fight is over even before it began. Kasi entrance exam pa lang ng mga schools ang laki na ng agwat, paano pa kaya yung curriculum? People like to argue "but I have skills that can be useful for your company/office", pero mdalas sa mga interview, hindi na umaabot sa point na mangangatuwiran ka. And sa taas ng unemployment sa Pilipinas, every little bit of "paper" helps. And don't bother faking a diploma or transcript, sa quality pa lang ng papel alam na ng HR personnel kung peke o hindi. Hindi naman tanga ang mga yan na hindi nag-si-CI.

At tama yung sabi sa taas, kailangan talaga mag-ayos sa pag-aaral, kasi kung wala ka disiplina at pasensya ngayon pa lang, paano pa yan kung nagta-trabaho o nag-nenegosyo ka na? Maganda yung may credentials ka na hinahawakan. Example ko na lang yung sa amin mag-asawa, siya part-time lecturer sa isang university sa Diliman, ako naman government employee lang. Pero nung nakita nung banko na pareho kami may doctorate, ayun approve agad yung loan.

IMHO, school name matters only in getting your 1st job. once you get experience and make a name for yourself, wala na gaano silbi ang pangalan ng school.

a diamond cut by an apprentice will maybe shine, a piece of glass cut by a master will sparkle like a gem. it takes both, student and school, for a graduate to stand out above the rest.

if the times were 1986-89, school mattered a lot. pag di ka graduate ng top 3 sa basurahan lang pupunta ang resume mo. ngayon di na masyado.

mapua? quartermester dun. di lang walang social life, baka mag-ipon ka lang ng sinko dun e di masisira lang ang first page ng transcript mo. think hard, kaya mo ba ang quartermester? ang pamangkin ko dun siya ng 1st year, wala naman daw natututunan parang nagfa-fast reading lang yung professor nila sa harap tapos exam na agad. puro sila sinko, may 3 o 4 lang daw na papasa. kaya ayun lumipat sa adamson, masaya siya at naa-appreciate nya yung lessons nila. graduating na ngayon. yun din isang pamangkin ko, yung last year nya na-implement yung quartermester. laking difference daw, yung dati may chance pa sila magtanong sa prof na i-explain ng mabuti pag mahirap yung lesson pero nung quartermester na e para lang daw sila nanunuod ng movie, wala na interaction between students and prof. mahirap e wala din rewind button. so kung wala ka din lang attitude na mag self study ng 18 hours a day e isip ka ng mabuti bago ka mag-enroll.

tignan mo mabuti ang ranking ng mapua. they used to be the #2 or #3 engineering school when it comes to placing and number of passers in the board exams. ngayon ano ranking nila? #17? i am not trying to put down mapua. what i do not like about them is that MAPUA COMMERCIALISED EDUCATION SO MUCH THAT THEY SACRIFIECED THEIR STUDENTS AND REPUTATION FOR THE SAKE OF PROFIT.

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,
