I guess after all tt endless mugging and cramming of knowledge into one's head. Its inevitable tt one may become disorientated. For me, its an endless strive to get better grades, to pull up tt gpa, to finish more questions. But in the end, does it reallie matter? Will we be putting our knowledge regarding fluid mechanics, economics or even MOM to use in future. Or will it just be discarded and left to disintegrate into a forgotten thing of the past?
One thing tt i'm not so satisfied with is the form of education here in Singapore and i dare say, specifically NTU. semester after semester, students are forced to complete certain modules that would ultimately contribute to a degree. However the missing link is the fact that the nature of the module and how it may impact us in future was never revealed to us. The school never had the intention to even offer a simple explanation of how this knowledge would prove benficial to our careers in future. As a result, students are left struggling with the contents of the subject aimlessy.
They study, they sit for the exams..then the holidays come, they play and they forget. Then the new semester starts and the cycle starts all over again.
Its just so monotonous and meaningless... I'm beginning to see no point in studying anymore..Guess i'm not much study material..*bleah*
Anyway daddy passed me this article he saw in the newspaper..Thanks daddy...
"Passion gives his career wings"-- Canadian Bruce Peddle, the regional boss of jet maker Embraer tells of how he turned his love of planes into a career.
Gosh! yet another plane loving person tt made it big in the aviation scene. *jealous*..in some way, he's a bit lyke me though. Not being able to become a pilot and resorting to taking up an engineering degree just to get closer to planes. Sounds rather familiar..he got a job maintaining helicopters for a major Canadian helicopter company. wow..haha..i remember the first time i had the wonderful opportunity of riding in the super puma back in my army days..i knew from then on that helicopters were my love...i swore i just drooled looking at that sweet thang...
Anyway back to the main man Bruce Peddle. yeh..i guess i wld reallie love walking down the same path as him..working in maintenance for a few years before switching over to management roles in aviation upon accquiring his certified management accountant qualification.
Oh yesh..and here's the sentence in the paper tt sorta made me see the teeny bt of hope... " For young pple interested in joining aviation, he says that an engineering background is desirable. The aviation industry's workforce is extremely technical, and it is a highly regulated industry; a slew of qualifications is require to operate and maintain a plane" Heard tt aero pple?!?! wee hee..we're in for something GOOD! haha..So lets get cracking pple and do the pioneer batch of aerospace students proud. *cheers*
