Hindi na daw matapos yung pag-aaral nung iba dyan. OO nga bakit nga ba? Yung iba graduate na sa College and working pero yung iba dyan hindi makatapos. Bakit kaya?
Meron kasi dyan na hindi makatapos ng pag-aaral dahil yung kurso hindi available sa local community College. Kung meron man ng kurso na yun ay konti lang ang available subjects at kulang ang teacher/professors to teach the class. Minsan isa lang or lima lang ang estudyante na kumukuha ng kurso na yon kaya yung teacher/prof. napipilitan na iclose na lang yung course then yung tuition ibinabalik or sometimes hindi na. Depende lang talaga dito sa Canada kung masipag at matyaga kang mag-antay. O kaya kung gusto mong board and lodging sa mainland Vancouver at mag rent ka ng condo for $2,000-$5,000/month kung kaya ng bulsa mo. O kaya magrent ka ng condo pero mag-accept ka ng 3 more roomates para hati-hati kayo sa monthly rental yun ay kung may available for rent condo na malapit sa College/University. Problems? Maraming problema pag di mo kavibes yung roommates mo.
Iba dito sa Canada when it comes to College life. Nakakapag college lang dito yung may HS grades na over 95% grades. Yung below 95% magvocational na lang. Ganun din nung panahon ni Pres. Marcos na may NCEE (National College Entrance Exam) kailangan ipass mo tong NCEE or else bagsak mo sa Vocational Course lang. Pag pasado ka kasi sa NCEE hindi mo na kailangang kumuha ng entrance test sa University of your choice. Nuong araw medyo maliit lang ang tuition fee, can afford pa noon ang parents ko ko pero dito sa Canada, halos lahat ng mga estudyante working class. Working students are the majority of Canadian students aiming high for higher education with exception to the rule for those rich aspiring ambitious asians, mostly Chinese affluent, influential families from HK. Bakit nga ba maraming Chinese sa Vancouver mainland? Eh, kasi, just look at the environment parang Hongkong kasi di ba? Malay mo HK nga sya eh or part of China kaya maraming Chinese. Di ba nagkaroon ng great earthquake before the Millennium kaya siguro part of the great wall gumuho opening the great barrier. Bakit ba kasi tong mga Chinese eh pulos sila mayaman? Ano bang secreto nila?
Alam mo mahilig sila sa business, magaling sila sa lahat ng klase ng business lalo na sa restaurant business. When it comes to trade lagi silang nangunguna. Kahit ano itinitinda nila. Ganun din ang mga Filipinos basta goods ibinebenta at pinapatungan ng interest. Hindi sila basta-basta nagbibigay. Ang bigay nila laging may kapalit. Hindi ganun ang mga Canadians, yung purong Canadians na puti pag nagbigay sila, bigay yun, gift na walang tubo at walang kapalit basta mabait ka lang.
Marami nang Chinese dito na hindi na mukhang Intsik mukha na silang White race, pati accent nila wala na pero yung pagiging business-minded nila hindi nila puedeng isang tabi ganun sila kawise and clever, walang sinasayang na oras para kumita ng pera. Ganun din ba ang mga Pinoys and Pinays?
Teka may lahi ba akong Chinese? Kasi minsan napapagkamalan akong Intsik. Hindi dahil ang kutis ko ay porcelana! Ay! Porcelata pala. Ahhahahah! Nakakahiya!
So balik tayo sa College?University students sa Canada. Sa tutuo lang pag available ang work, mas unahin mo yung work with pay. Then bahala na yung College degree later kasi dito sa Canada yung mga College grads na yan walang makuhang trabaho ang mga yan. Nakatambay lang. Then they have to study again for another college degree lalo ng tumaas ang degree pero walang mga vacant job for them. Then they end up wasting money and loans they cannot pay. Siguro kasi yung loans nila over $20,000 kaya ganun. Magloan ka yung kaya mong bayaran. Mr. Mansbridge once interviewed these College Grads from different University that these kids accumulated so much degrees yet can't find the right job and they end up working in the job unfit for what they had learned in College. Besides, truth is experience is the requirement for any job/position they are after. Choosing the right College degree/course is what you can begin with your dreams or better yet learn how to use your talent in discovering that the source of employment is not just in one place in other words learn to move from one province to another. Learn to adapt and find work in another land. Makipagcompetition ka sa ibang workers. Look at Masterchef, ganun klase ang competition dito very competitive and the pressure is too high. Hay naku init!
Canadians working in another country? Weird? Filipinos or Overseas workers would rather work here in Canada and to tell Canadians to work in foreign lands? that's absurd right? Missionaries do that. So many Canadian teachers found job in Japan and in the Middle east or nurses working in the U.S. Engineers and architects working in Qatar and soldiers working in Saudi Arabia. Maybe sooner than later the carpenters of Canada will do the carpentry work and building constructions in Philippines. It takes only less than a month to build a mansion in Canada, you know? Hindi inaabot ng isang taon just to build a 3-5 bedroom house. Yan pala ang ability ng mga Canadians, they can build a house in less than 2-4 weeks provided all the materials are ready, que umaraw o umulan.
Yung iba namang graduate na talaga kaya lang yung work nila they have to study again and again tulad ng mga doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, researchers, antrophologists, biologists, chemists, pharmacists, scientists, priests and missionaries Sssssssss... hay naku ang trabaho nila walang katapusang pag-aaral. Hindi na natapos dahil walang finish line sa kanila.
For the writers? Walang katapusang stories. NEVER ENDING STORIES.
