It's that time of the year again, where the PARENTS go 'hunting' for 'suitable' courses for their children to pursue. The SPM/STPM examinations are over, no time to waste, 'the early bird gets the worm...', etc., etc. Classes will start in Jan 2010.
What's wrong with this scenario, may I ask? Why are the PARENTS doing the hunting?
While the parents are so eager to start their children off on the (next) right footing, the children themselves are trying their best to enjoy their 'hard-earned' holiday.
"...they are doing nothing at home....waste of time...watching TV all the time...going out with friends, spending money..."
"Might as well get them started early, after all, they will have to continue their studies. Why wait...?"
"I think my daughter should do Accounting. She's good with Maths. Good job prospect."
"Only an Engineering degree will do for my son. He will be an Engineer. Good job prospect (and money and status)."
What's wrong with this scenario, may I ask?
