Study Interest

At last, I may be embarking on my studies, if all goes well. Since I will be given a training grant of 2k and some payout for the special resignation scheme (not retirement, as I earlier said) and with a 2 month bonus, I think I can safely say that I may finally have enough money for my studies next year.

 

Plus, my mum has given her stamp of approval for me to pursue this course....provided there is enough money for the family and the course doesnt start too early.

 

I told her that it will commence in April, August and November. Most likely I will be able to start in April. But this means that I have to watch my expenditures come bonus and payout because that will have to standby for my education fees.

 

Most prob I will pay in full before I start becoming poor..haha...that I wont be able to pay for the instalments.

 

She advised me against taking a course in business studies but in computer since it is more in demand.

 

As I search, I think this will be 'okay' for me..
