Sch vs Work: Do you prefer good ol' schooling days or money-empowered working days?

**summerdreamer** · 07-06-2007, 12:07 PM

working ppl always tells me that studying is much better than working.

for those who hav worked p/t i'm sure they'll have something to share. wat do u think?

**amylsl_88** · 07-06-2007, 05:29 PM

For me, I prefer working life more than schooling life. When I was still schooling, I can't wait to officially start working. Now that I have started working, I find that I am definitely enjoying my life... something which I don't quite experience when I'm still studying. Now, time pass real quick for me without the piles of homework, tests, exams, CCA etc... Perhaps, this is also due to the nature of my job being a slacky kind.

However, a lot of older colleagues, including my parents, said to me that it's only when you started working, then you'll start to appreciate your school life, though this is definitely not the case for me. Well... I guess different people have different opinions ba.

This is a very contradicting answer. IT is because, when you are studying, you prefer work, but when you are working, you prefer studying.

**ken-nerves** · 07-06-2007, 08:59 PM

Same here for me & think most of the working people ba... the pay factor is the best part.

:love4:

**astrea** · 08-06-2007, 02:54 PM

school is def better.... it is way more relaxing than work (yes.... even with all the exams)

should try to enjoy ur school years and do the things that u like cuz once u start working u will have no time for them

**sex-on-heels** · 08-06-2007, 04:20 PM

I guess with the comparison between the working life I have experienced while doing temp assignments and full-time schooling, I can safely say I do prefer school life.

There is just this kinda innocence that you can still manage to get away with in school. At work, it's a constant necessity to appear in control and mature.

Besides, working life becomes routinized after a while, unless you are in an exciting job that allows you to encounter new challenges and people along the way. Studying instead, throws a whole barrage of disciplines for you to handle, and that can be much more interesting than doing the same thing you job entails you to do everyday.

Furthermore, the peers. In the workplace, you have to take orders from superiors who could be your junior in age, or you could be stuck in a midst of uncles and aunties. Sooner or later, you'll feel...imbalanced.

But here I would like to contrast something--learning versus studying. Cramming for exams for the sake of studying is simply.....studying. Learning however is for self-enrichment and improvement. I love learning, but studying...doesn't serve its purpose.

So yea, but if the term studying is to encompass learning, than yea I do prefer staying in school.

But wells, studying incurs costs while you earn if you work. That's the only bane.

Oh ya, and I agree about the student price advantage too.

Education doesn't come cheap.

**roxiss** · 14-06-2007, 01:59 PM

I've been working for almost close to a year now that I've finished schooling..but i really missed my school days, esp my frens! Working causes me to meet up much lesser with my friends, and it's so much harder to find good friends that you are totally comfortable with. But I like the fact that there's no more exams! and I earn my own money! :rock: So do you prefer schooling or working? Come let's share your thoughts here! :biggrin4:

**illusionx** · 14-06-2007, 02:17 PM

Well, from what i observe from most people or even myself.. when you're still schooling, you tends to like "wa? i hate school lah" faster complete the course or whatever but when you're working? you would think that "wa? i still prefers school life."

don't know you guys understand what i'm trying to say haha.

i think this what human life is all about huh? haha..

**genzo2106** · 14-06-2007, 02:27 PM

well schooling is always the best cos the main responsibility you have is to pas ur exams and tests. At work, you will be scruntised for every thing that you do and have to worry abt money issues ever so ofter..

shingshing · 14-06-2007, 06:14 PM

yesh! I currently just did a survey instructed by my Director...want to find out how much time we spent on work everyday! so lame....

**Ican** · 14-06-2007, 10:55 PM

I think when you are young, you are not bond by commitments and money issues. But as you grow older, you realize that you cant escape this process.

I have been working for the past 4 yrs, and till today I still miss my ITE life. Carefree, rowdy and always playing truant. Yet I have to say that I prefer working because I learn much more in the work environment than the school environment.

The ability to chose my own industry, my own life is the reason why I prefer working life.
