學歷何價？過來人經驗之談（一）

大C姐

話說前幾日大C父打電話同我講佢好後悔當年冇咩關心我嘅學業，大學畢業都冇閒出席，覺得錯過咗我人生一個好大嘅階段。

我又唔係氹佢，不過我真心覺得no big deal，因爲我自己都差啲唔想去畢業禮。識得大C姐嘅人都知，我係果啲神龍見首不見尾嘅人。去party也好，返工也好，返學也好，我做晒我要做嘅嘢我就撇，頭也不回。我唔會眷戀個結尾，逗留等運到磨爛席。我覺得過程就係一個階段，個ceremony對我嚟講唔係太有價值。

尤其而家周街都係大學生，畢到業都唔代表係尖子。畢咗業又好多時都係繼續讀其它嘢，所以都唔代表係學業嘅終結。大學畢業同以前form 5畢業心態上冇咩唔同，所以我叫我老豆唔洗想太多。

雖然講到大學學位好唔值錢，但係依然好多學生好恨入大學。又話説大C姐個表弟係應屆考生，雖然唔係同佢好close，但係以我所知佢一向紀錄都麻麻。但係又俾我想像中考得好，因為佢考高過３３２２最低標準噃！

嗱，問題就嚟啦，你考唔到３３２２就諗都唔洗諗啦，你唔搵其它課程讀就疊埋心水搵嘢做啦。但係你考到，而且高少少（可能係３３３２／３３３３咁先算），喺學生眼中，喺家長眼中，梗係覺得搏得過啦。咁但係其實搏唔搏到呢......下回分解!

what is ３３２２?

Well, a bachelor's degree is really nothing here. Most of my coworkers are Masters or PhDs.

I don't know the situation in HK, probably more competitive there....

My experience is that, I have seen coworker who barely high school grad.
So for 2 people working in the same position, one with college diploma, and he. He gets way less than the other person because he starts off much much lower. (because of his education). So I would say without degree or diploma it is much harder to catch up with the avg salary level of a particular job, not to mention it may be harder to get a job in the first place. I'm not saying that person is not capable of the job, just it's reality that he gets much less because of his education.

I think here, it values diploma (say from BCIT) equally as degree (maybe in most jobs, I won't say all). Sometimes, PhD is over qualified.

    ３３２２係新中學制四科主要科目嘅大學最低入學分數，分別係中／英／數／通識。呢個係水平參照，棄用以前ABCD拉curve制度。即係話，假設你係全級最高分但係你成績都未必一定有５，可能你只係考啱６０％，所以佢哋俾３分你，果年就冇人攞４分或5分。

    咁你即係講緊大學定讀書冇價值先？你唔讀大學又讀唔到masters/ phd。

    呢個case我就想探討多啲，因爲如果你係做醫生，做會計，做科學研究，你唔係大學畢業考唔到牌就直頭唔洗講啦。

但係一般office工，係唔係一張沙紙定薪水呢？定係同工同酬，紅褲子一樣可以睇齊？

加拿大真係吾洗入大學，讀個general arts or general sci 真係無銀用，加拿大做勞工比大學生人工高好多好多，如果是平凡人，高不成低不就的，無謂哂錢哂時間入大學。入BCIT，做水電，渣巴士，做裝修，整車，郵差，做清潔，湊仔，裝cable等等等...都比一般大學生人工高很多

Range of salary might be a guideline of starting point, final salary is according to actual performance.
