    • I am the kind of lazy person. I rarely work both in sch and after sch. There was one time I worked as a salesman at a computer shop. That was really tired. I must keep standing for ten and a half hours everyday. After that I seldom work since my parents support my finance totally.

       

      But as I know, some of my classmates who couldnt afford their cost of living usually work everyday even during schoolday. And when the weekend or vacation comes, they work for as long as 13 hours per day. The most efficient person I know earned his tution fee and cost of living, even bought himself a laptop. He works as personal tutor.

    •    Frankly speaking i started working ever since age 16 . I remember i was working as a sales assistant in holland village emporium . And my first lesson in getting cheated was when end of the month i supposed to get my first monthly salary of my life , the hr only gave me $200+ citing that i din surrender my uniform when i keep telling her 3 times they din give me any uniform at all . And saying i anyhow punch my card so she just follow my card which is in a mess cos when i ask ard how to punch it properly after recieving my punch card , everyone just say " like that lor . just slot it in will do , automatic one " . After that everytime school holidays my mum will sort of force me out to work for pocket money . If i refuse to find , then she will make my life miserable by finding things even the slightest non related stuff to scold me like hell . Untill now frankly speaking if not for my own money , i really sick and tired of working outside . So basically i been working since age 16 doing part time till now age 33 doing full time since i graduate from ite .

    • It's good to work mah. It trains you to be more resilient and a better person. Why grumble leh when you are being paid? Better than keep on 'shen kai shou jiang' and get from mummy and daddy. Even lao ma lao pa you qian oso should work one. Just for fun and experience otherwise don't know what is working world right?wink.png
