"STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!" 

How many of us have heard our parents say this to us when we were young? Or if you have kids of your own, are you guilty of passing on this message to your kids too? Do you know that according to the statistics given by Singstat for the year 2016, there are approximately 800,000 Singaporeans who are university graduates out of 2,800,000 of ages above 25. That means for every 10 people whom you meet above the age of 25, 3 of them would most likely be university graduates. (source: singstat)

Having a education certificate is important as it serves as a indicator or benchmark for employers to know what knowledge and skillsets you possess that they need for you to help their company make money. Of course, there are people who might have the same skills as you without going through formal education. But with the certificate, it makes it alot easier for them to know upfront about your skills. Imagine telling people that you are good at maths when you have nothing to prove for compared to you showing them the certificate.


Moreover, the more educated you are, the higher the likelihood of you having a higher pay as well. Since you would possess more knowledge than others which give you an edge above others into providing more value to the company. As the saying goes, 'Knowledge is Power!'

However, as we grow older, learning new things take lower precedence when there are so many things to juggle such as work, family, friends, play etc. With only 24hrs in a day, there is that much things we can do. Resulting in many of us to leave learning as one of the least few priorities. Plus the cost of learning and upgrading is expensive, so why bother spending money that can be put to better use like food and bills to pay.
