male student?

redgal wrote:is it possible that most of the male student had gone overseas for studying? coz wat i know, most parents r willing to send their sons to overseas...that's why so few male in local uni...

mayb ur rite tat mostly went oversea students were male. but if u compare the ratio students study at local and oversea. Local student was far more then oversea (Malaysian was poor mah). And now it stil show gal students r more tat guy in here...

is it? may i know where do you get the statistics? then where are the males? gone for working?

Many working at factories and operates machineries. or open business.

oh...male tends to think tat earning money is more matters than studying lo...

It's more to responsibilities especially if the male is oldest son in the family. Have to earn money to alleviate the burden of the parents especially when there are lots of siblings. Sacrifice.

its all up to the interest, abilities and capabilities, opportunities and exposures. Female and female or male and male itself have so many differences what more to say about across gender?

What's wrong with lesser male in uni? Sry for asking like that. :confused:

nothing wrong with that...it only indicate that less guy than girl are tertiary level educated...

Ya, there is not depend on the gender... no matter u re male, female , aqua....

that 's personality n interest ...
i'm olso one of the gal who prefer pratical but nt memorising for study ...
:lol!:

Tertiary level education is not everything since there are lots more path to go after we finish secondary school.

Some went straight into job world, some study, some stay home and there are also some that race motorbikes..

yup,i agree with likin...somehow i think practical is more easy compare to memorising...
memorising really too bad for me... :x

hahaha...yea..i found one kaki liao...hehe...

if we want easy things then there is no need for tests at first place.

just wanna know why...

but to get a better job, having a degree nowadays is important wor...most of the lecturers, i observed, hav at least a master cert le... so i think, if male went out for jobs just after graduating secondary school is not advisable lo...since they will be having their own family in future and hav more responsibilities...of coz female also has a role too la...

they can be intrepreneur but onli a small portion did it successfully. the rest......? but it is true, the piece of paper u gt when u graduate is IMPORTANT these days.

It's just another certificate we use.. Do you still remember our UPSR, PMR, SPM and STPM certs? they are almost useless now. 5-10 years from now, our degree sheet will get the same fate as well.

but still need the certificate...

5-10 years from nw...tatz future! wat is important now is the cert. without the cert, i think we wouldn't able to live 5-10 years more.

not really too...
still can live but not the high standard life lo...

occupation & career

sory...mistakes... what is the difference between occupation and career?

A degree does not mean higher standard of life. Sometimes, with a degree, you'll have a perception that you do now want a job that does not require a degree.. sort of like "less freedom" so you might overlooked chance there. For example, jobs like property trader, photographer, modern farmer and businesses sometimes depend more on brains rather than the books.

More headache. Another is marriage issue. Society still looks down if either bride/groom have degree but the partner dont have.

But whats best is that with degree you can opt for salary of minimum
2k and people listen to you more, just because you have degree holder!

Reason behind this? because the minimum requirement to become a lecturer is a master, with a degree you only can become a tutor or so. Ask around.

This is a wrong assumption, it depends on where you're working (Peninsula? Borneo? Overseas? and rural or urban). The actual minimum wage is 1.5k - 2k (if you're lucky).

As of stating the education and academia world's status
*in Malaysia, **World wide

*PTS > UPSR > PMR > SPM (minimum requirement of universal free education)

*Matrix > Diploma > STPM (extended education)

** Degree > Master > PhD (Dr./ doctor title) > Associates Professor (AP title)

** Professor (you'll retain your tittle as professor as long you're working or related to any universities, once you left you'll be called as Dr since that's you're highest education)

** Maestro Professor (you'll hold this title with you till you go into your grave even when your not related to any university, only if you made tremendously significant contribution to your region of studies)
