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.

**siny3e** · 07-06-2007, 05:37 PM

i also prefer schooling to working

in school i can attitude my tchr, at work cannot attitude my boss

in school want to slp can slp during lectures, at work die die oso mus force urself not to fall asleep in front of the com

in school gt pe can play games, at work play online games oso mus make sure nv get caught

and finally, in school gt student price for everything
working le everything oso become more expensive

**ken-nerves** · 07-06-2007, 06:15 PM

for me~
ya i prefer wking to sch.. except for the student's price thing. ha. bt jux that wking have less stress.. no exams ma..

**muffin** · 07-06-2007, 06:50 PM

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

kinda true.. when i started wking i prefer studying.. but after i wk for lyk 1 month i sorta get use to it and i start to prefer wking..even until nw.. i jux hate the long hours.. but is nt as stressful.. u jux finish wk at ur wkplace and dat's it.. no hwk.

**PianoXBallet** · 07-06-2007, 09:03 PM

Only work for 2 months before, during last year end-of-year holiday. But love school more. Can learn stuff and then can see friends.

Fool · 08-06-2007, 01:45 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..
