Bachelor of Social Work
My friend in NCSS recommended me this course, so went for its course preview last nite.
I was rather confused during e talk, coz e speaker is an Aussie, speaking in a slang so foreign to mi. Im not sure if e others caught wat she said oso. I thought i need only take 4 bridging modules & 2 yrs for full time, 4 yrs as part time 2 attain tis degree.
After finalie gotten e chance 2 speak 2 e Singaporean staff, i was devastated 2 find out tat i will need 4 yrs 2 attain e cert, full time. Tat means, 4 lessons a week, for 4 yrs, while holding a full time job. Tat is provided i can cope, becoz as a part timer, i will take 8 yrs.........
Initially i thought of turning full time @ YMCA, but now, doubts etched in my mind. Will they be so supportive to allow mi 2 attend lessons for 4 yrs? How long then do i have 2 be bonded? Can i hold on through e period? Actuallie im juz a human, my reaction is of course normal: complain & whine. But i didnt say i dun want 2 take up tis course. Btw, i will need $45 000.
Howeva, she was e last i expected 2 criticise mi on my reaction. I was devastated, again, 2 think she used her friend, not herself, 2 compare with my situation. Mind her, her friend is taking 3 yrs Diploma part time, im taking 4 yrs double degree full time, while working. She made it sound so simple & stuff, i was totally saddened by her remarks. She dun understand how i felt tat time afterall, of all people. Taking 2 degree courses while working is neva a simple thing, she thought i dun need 2 do my volunteer work or have a social life? Juz work & study?
I realie dun noe how i shd react. Complain, which is normal, ppl criticise mi for being weak & will make comparisons, which cannot even be compared with. Remain calm as if im ready 2 take on any challenge, ppl think you didnt plan enough or are acting rashly.
Allow mi 2 think for e time being. I realie need peace.

Sounds like you're stressed.. and perplexed.. I don't know which country you're in, so I won't know if this is helpful, but if you don't mind someone who is also exploring the sector, and who did her degree part time, feel free to contact me..
