Finally BCIT emailed my son for a placement in their Institution. There 's only one seat available for this 2014 School Year. Then another telephone call asking him again about the message they sent him through email address of my son on his computer. The next day another call just to let him know that they are seriously considering him to fill up that one vacancy. Really? Late offer eh? School starts on September 2, 2014 and you want my son to have a quick fast paced rush to Vancouver just to accept that offer? Hmmm...Simply annoying huh?
He was on the waiting list for sometime. How many applicants on the "waiting list?" Who they favored first? What kind of Race? In what category they accept and what stereotyping they refused students? I do not have a clue.
However, when I watched Mr. Peter Mansbridge's (CBC Newsman) personal interview on TV with numerous students in College and University in Canada you'll know what and why those students stick to their college courses and why oftentimes so many students dropped-out of college. Not to mention why after college so many thousands of students go bankrupt. Some students who loaned from the banks and lose their life savings just to acquire College diploma or degree. The question, is it worth it? Would you like to spend $10,000 to $20,000 just to have a College Degree? Others lose their $50,000 without finishing their College Degree. How? If you enrol in the mainland Vancouver and you have to rent alone in a condo, you have to your own furniture and appliances, your own food and other utilities you have to spend until you finished your schooling. Unlike if you will just enrol in the local College and live at the convenience at home with your parents. Well to find that out is to experience the same situation how other students lose their savings. Know what? Many have tried and failed. Lucky are those scholars and those who were born with silver spoon in their mouth. You can ask Mark Zuckerberg how he did it and many have followed this genius just like how he followed the Microsoft founder Bill Gates. College drop-outs. Even Ellen D.G. has no College Diploma. There are popular rich people who do not have College diploma and when they were invited to Graduation Rites for incredible remarkable speech to the Grads; automatically they were given Honorary distinction from the University. That's the latest trend now. When you are popular you don't really need a College diploma it's the diploma coming right at your foot, at your doorstep.
My Mother asked me if my kids are in College already. I am embarrassed about her question due to the fact that my nieces in Philippines were already College grads. Okay let me tell you that the equivalent of High School educational system in Canada is higher than in the Philippines. You can find that out by reading their College textbooks or study here in Canada to find that out. High School Grads (Grade 12) in Canada can already have work and can compete in the Workforce only if they want to compete with the rest of the workers. However if you want to uplift your livelihood, uplift your status, salary and position in the place of work you need to have a Diploma course. You really have to be ambitious to get where nobody has ever gone before.
Because really, it's different when you have a College Diploma compared to High School Diploma. Oh, whatever that suits happiness. Truth is knowledge is power. Even without a diploma and no education but because you are born with the genetic indication that you are a very smart intelligent human being what a diploma or paper is known for? It's the BRAIN, it's the MIND it's DNA and RNA that makes you who you are! Please include the CONSCIENCE. Without a conscience no one is human.
YOU HAVE TO HIRE WORKERS WITH CONSCIENCE IN THE WORKPLACE. Find human beings with a heart, soul and conscience and it would be a better place and a beautiful world. It's not about the College diploma that matters because simply people without conscience and without heart is not the characteristic of a good worker. The world is full of deceiver and liars and each time a company goes bankrupt because of those evil bad people who are actually possessed with IQ higher than Albert Einstein. It's complicated out there with too many millions of complicated dysfunctional megalomaniac beings. Beware!
