Good Choice Vs Bad Choice

Example -
Jo just got her Os result and she got a 23 L1R4. Very disappointed yet she can still make it to polytechnic, but for courses that she have no interest of. After communicating with her father, who is a strict person, he asked her to go straight to ITE to study hard so that she can move up to polytechnic with good results and thus get into the course she wanted. Now she is in ITE and she is doing just well enough.

What is wrong with this path that she had chosen or is there wrong in what the father insist her in doing?
To most parents, they will think that this is the path to take rather than retaking the ‘O’ levels. Local diploma does have their privilege in some areas, but most of the time you don’t use it. And also, when they are set to step into the society and work, they will realize that Singapore is a place of degree than a diploma. I can say near to half of Singapore populations have at least a degree.

To what I predict, diploma is soon to grow no value and the pay for that level will drop drastically. So what I would recommend is that take up a private diploma and study a degree after that just like what Clarence did, but that idiot have great O level points. This will make a better choice.

Please think about it parents, give your children more wider choice than restricting them to your thinking.
