001

university. the last stab at freedom before we become slaves to the corporate world. and so, in a valiant attempt, i shall attempt to record the lovely happenings on university life, as an economist and accountant.

yes dudes, one very sick person here who does a double degree. my friends often introduce me as 'hi, this is esther, the pyscho." true. one degree kills. two degrees, let's not get started.

well, being the kaypoh i am, i volunteered to be an ambaassador for my economics faculty. economics ambassador? and ooh, we get paid a small fee. wow. that's just cool. but then again, economists are paid damn well for simply talking. they don't even need to do anything.

am reading through the faq which i am supposed to memorise by hard so that i can repeat the answers 349534583945 times for all the parents who simply have to ask at least THREE TIMES what the criteria for getting in is. and this is one very amusing bit:

An: What Kind of Jobs can I get after taking these degrees?

the other degree programmes have paragraph-long answers. Economists are succint so we say this:

Banking & finance
Investment companies
Stock brokerage companies
Government sector
Private sector

honestly dearie, private + govt sector = society. as usual, in the round-about way which is oh-so familiar, we have simply not answered the question.
