“One of the craziest things” about being a student in a local university is that she has already completed six internships, and she has not graduated

Like, doesn't feel very healthy.

If she is doing it because she genuinely enjoys it, good for her.

But if she is doing it for the sake of doing it (to outcompete her peers)...ugh.

Nowadays the ginnas siao on one, haven't go unit alr doing internship alr

"Encouraged" by whom? Waste moar time betterer. Moar talent cum in to steal her lice bowl. Moe and Mom smiling.

 

[ceestudent]

Weird, how come no bbfa suggested that she can open OF account or what?
All of you repent already ah.

 

[buttbERry]

[matrix05]

Looks mature for an undergrad. 23F why not grad yet? Doing PhD? Or did NS?

 

[keechiu]

Internship but no need study ok what, how to compare with those who work full time while studying degree or masters? Like that they kisiao already ar?

My kid chatted with a UK professor who is teaching in one of local unis.

She is awed with the students here and pities them for not spending their youthful years as youths. Her students will bug her for next term's topics etc to read during the school holidays. When having field work, these students want the daily schedule in details and will complain if details were not given as they don't like not being able to prepare before hand.

Her question to my kid was "Sporean youngsters don't have hobbies?"

How to have hobby when so many out there wanting to steal our lunch ? They are cheaper so we have to be better and faster all the time.

Many even delay graduation just to chalk up more internships under their belt to gain competitive advantage over their peers in securing jobs. LOAs are common today. Just plain ridiculous

Most Singaporeans are generally boring / robotic / 1-2-3 people who can't think out of the box - mainly the result of our education system.

Many really don't have hobbies and living dog's life.

 

[Aunt Dino]

All trying to one up each other and spoil market for everyone...

 

[83sarahtan]

Wah, siao one leh six internships and haven’t even graduate yet! Local uni students really power, like CV speedrun sia. Study already stress, still must chiong intern non-stop. But bo bian, job market competitive mah. No experience, later kena ghosted after grad.

It’s not no hobbies but sinkie parents keep drilling into kids to take jobs that earn money. How many learn medicine or even AI because they love it and not because it’s the in thing that brings in money?

Then when the fad dies, these people can’t find jobs and a new fad arises. But the new fad can be something that was looked down upon just a few years back so it could be the FT or the cannot make it so go unpopular courses who get the job.

Their hobbies are work, investments and making $$

she stupid ah?

 

[mummynew]

The new era ladies.

I am OK with tattoos on girls (seems like is a trend as many 'decent' young ladies whom I have met (2 teachers, 3 admin and 1 art curator all carrying tattoos proudly / confidently on them).

I am just still resistant if they share too much of their private lives in social media (unless wanna be influencers) coz they may regret when they grow further - my Boomer's thought.

 

[rlskyline]

not pretty

 

[Milodrink]

Now you know why Fertility rate so low in Singapore. Which young women will want to marry early and have children early.

Erm def the smarter ones won't.
