My reply to Long Wang’s blog about university:
This is a very interesting topic, Long, since both of us are currently university students ourselves! I came into university being told that it would definitely provide me with a easier lifestyle after I graduate. I have honestly realized that attending university does not guarantee one a more successful life after the many tough years. I know of many who do not have a university or even high school education who are very well off. Not to say that not receiving an education guarantees benefits, however as the populate is growing rapidly, and many are receiving the same education, the chances of one standing out is limited. University in my opinion is now becoming like high school; you are expected to attend university after you graduate from your previous institution. This shows how an university education or diploma is depreciating in value. Having a diploma is not as unique as before. I believe that on top of an university education, one must aim to go beyond, approach opportunities, and aim to be unique in a good way. That is one of my values in life, and I hope to reach it.
