What Say You?

Hmm which leads me to the point that studies are actually the most important thing for students in the world today.

According to the report by TIME magazine (latest issue), half the population in the USA has annual income of less than 40000 USD. 90% has less than 100000 USD annually. The richest people of the population owns a large amount of wealth and of cause the disparity is worse in developing countries.

The conclusion from the report is that the group of people who has more knowledge actually earns more money and does less work.

This means that, in realistic terms, people with higher qualifications in their studies(one way to let people know you are knowledgeable) actually get to bum around doing less while getting higher pay!

The other group of people gets to slog their entire lives away and realise that they are always not earning enough to pay their bills or afford a higher standard of living.

I figure if the USA is as such, it would not be any much different for the rest of the industralized countries, including Singapore.

Hope this post makes you want to study harder?

What say you people? :p
