I flew all the way to Switzerland from Singapore and paid an exorbitant amount to receive a double degree.
I'm sure many of you fellow readers also did the same thing. Going overseas for a 'better' education.
I was sold a dream. A dream that I would have a competitive advantage over my fellow peers when the truth is this.
Nobody cares.
Everyone knows this, we go to class. We open our laptops and download the powerpoint slides. The lecturer then reads off the powerpoint slide word for word. What's the point of studying when I can read it myself?
Don't get me wrong.
When it was first introduced a long time ago. It was a fresh creative take away from the traditional textbook. But what's the point now when the modern day powerpoint is the olden day textbook?
I guess the point to this post is, I want an education. But do I really need a degree?
