But one thing to consider is, why does your mom still earn more than him?<BR/><BR/>Does this mean that experience is more important than degrees in teaching?<BR/>If that is so, then maybe your father shouldn't have gotten that degree after all.<BR/><BR/>At the beginning of your article you touched on the importance degrees. True that it does bring about more opportunities, but I disagree that these opportunities will be any better than those available to us even without them.<BR/><BR/>With reference to your mom's pay > dad's, my father (did not attend secondary school) > all my brothers (2 MBAs, 1 accountant, 1 electrical engineer) income, and a friend of mine who is now a millionaire and owns a pub in Langkawi even though he did not finish Form 5, a degree may not be as important as it seems. <BR/><BR/>It's a proof of education, not knowledge.<BR/><BR/>I may be out of topic, but just my two cents on the matter.<BR/><BR/>Not to be pessimistic, but considering the political situation in Malaysia and how corrupted it is, it will take a miracle for any radical improvements on any other field besides education.<BR/><BR/>Vote wisely, or don't vote.Shinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923276789439346362noreply@blogger.com
