Exam Finish, Now What?
I just finished my last paper for the session. I am officially a free guy (not yet a man!).
And now that I have to wait for 10 weeks before I know my result, of course I am thinking of getting a job, to practice what I’ve learn all this while. When I was still studying, attending class, doing assignments and so on, I always have the feeling wanted to quickly finish my studies and start working. I wanted to help to support my family. My dad retires few years ago, and so far our family has been relying on his EPF.
My brother and sister are working. And bear that in mind, they have their own commitments and liabilities, like cars and relationship. They do help supporting the family, like paying portion of bills and daily expenses.
And me? I’ve been doing nothing but studying, watching anime and j-drama, blogging and also doing some web design. Being the youngest, I always feel like a burden to my family, which is why I always have the thought of going out working. And yet, whenever people ask me to do any part time job (like the standing in the departmental store), I refuse to do so. Reason? I always gives reason that it doesn’t help me with my line of study.
I still want to study. But seeing my family condition, I feel like I don’t have much choices, other than start working, earn some money, help my family, keep some savings, and further study on my own sometime in the future. Now that I’ve finished my exam, and hopefully, I passed all my paper. Then I don’t have to pay RM200 for each subject, wait till December, and repeat my exams.
And to start working now? I feel too young to do so. But I don’t think I have much choice. As I know, ACCA in Miri is offered as a part time course. If I were to enroll, I can continue study, but, do you think I should be doing nothing in the day time? All in all, I still have to work.
Ahhh… I wonder why I am so scared of the working world :unsure:

Dude, if you have the gut to REALLY try not to use too much of family expense, any job will do la… No need look for what what that suit your course la, interest la and all that…

How well do you design themes??
You can start by “selling your services” — e.g. help people fix their broken themes for a small fee and things like that. A lot of people are doing it, and it’s decent, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Some people blog and get paid (like myself) but you can service, and get paid.
Think about it. And let me know if I can help you in any way. I will

little bro..dun think anything bout family burden..no matter what u still need to pursue ur studies… with ur current qualification how much do u think u can get paid when u come out to work? some more at the very young age i think study is ur best choice..
since ur worried bout family burden, then when comes to study abroad u should take it seriously and dun let us down..this might be a bit stress..but dun make urself tension too much..i know u can do it..if u quit study now it will be a waste..
i only did my diploma is to save some $$ for u to pursue ur studies…at least i wont use up all dad $$ for my own study only…partially is for u..as i know my self is not as good as u when it comes to studies..
if u really want to cont ur ACCA talk to us…tell us what u want…silent & blog here doesnt mean everybody know what u want..at least let us know..no matter what me dad n sis will still support u to further studies..
then it depends on u how u handle ur self and ur future

Wei, CSA is your bro/sis? See, you have a supportive family!
Trust me, pursuing your tertiary education is what your family wants to see you do. Obtaining a degree is what makes your family proud of you — not the amount of cheques you bring home (at least not when you’re only 19 years old, for God’s sake!).

pelf, thanks for the suggestion. I do have intention of selling my service, but I don’t think my designs are not up to par :blush: There’s still a lot to learn in this designing line, and so far I am only doing this for fun and to help my friends. CSA is my bro by the way
Well “dai gor”, I have the intention to talk about this thing in a few more days. I have a bad habit of asking for opinions from people I have not faced, and too bad it does not work out like I want (just look at the comments participation
). And actually I am looking for a good chance where all of us can sit together and discuss. Anyways, as for now, I am trying to look for a good place to continue my ACCA, and so far I only know that TARC offers ACCA at a reasonable price, but the problem is that there will be no intake until next year. I think sitting at home idling is not good because I may forget what I’ve study up until now. I did some searching for ACCA tuition provider, and I am trying to obtain information from those tuition provider.
Well, let me get things sorted out first before we discuss about this.

i think the last thing that your father wants from you right now is stop studying. if you want to repay ur family, might as well do it full heartedly and get ur cert first =)
