money money money (it's a rich man's world)

i have half a mind to kill my study plans and get a job instead. why not? a riffle through saturday's Recruit tantalizes with all those would-be opportunities. why should i spend the next two years of my life in the (beautiful) city of Perth getting a degree that would need an entire lifetime's work to pay off?

every meeting with my counselor at IDP ends up with me - i mean my parents - forking over either their credit card or cheque paying for something i deem expensive: $45 for hostel application; $533 for a student visa; and this tops the cake: $5 just for applying my visa at IDP - $5 for a process i can do myself at home, $5 because IDP "encourages" you to go down to their office at the high-end orange grove road so your visa application process would be faster and without hickups.

at saturday's pre-departure seminar (where i saw the (handsome) saiful and desiree and where she won a prize in the lucky draw, lol) there were more payments to be made, so what's new? sigh. and this is just the beginning!

i need a high paying job when i graduate, like at certain PR agencies where diploma holders get a starting pay of $2K. or i could embark on a pilgrimage of lifetime study, as the chinese saying goes: 活到老,学到老!

so, godspeed, myself!
