What You Must Know Before Pursuing University After SPM in Malaysia 

College costs so much... Is there a way to get a great education for free? Well YES THERE IS! Subscribe to our newsletter and unlock three mind-bending pieces of information every week!! 👉www.mrmoneytv.com/

Uni days are probably the best place to experiment, to try new things and to fail without much consequences. At the moment u start work, failure comes with consequences.

The different between going to University and not going to university is how the person spend their time for that 3 to 4 years time. For those who are in University, they have to go through "structured" training course, which they have to put in effort and they are being monitor the result. But for those who are not in University, they will have to depend on their own effort. Unfortunately, as a human being, only those who are talented will not require a system to monitor their effort. Majority of us are not having that talent! for me, if a youngster tell me, they do not want to go to University, I will give them 6 months. 6 months is enough to show a result!

Depends on the goal of the person, the degree has its purpose. It's just not everyone needs a degree, you can go for professional certifications. For example if I want to hire a networking expert (as in computer networks la) then a person CCNA certification holds a far higher value to me than say a person with a general Degree in IT. Same if I want someone to watch over my company finance, an ACCA certified individual would have priority over one with general Degree in Business.

You can skip university if you have a passion, discipline, and solid goal to work towards, as well as the plans and means to achieve it. You should not skip university because it is difficult and you want to earn money faster. Eg : you can skip university to do Grab if you want to earn money for your capital to move to New Zealand to own an apple orchard. But you should not skip university to do Grab because you want an easy way to earn money now and afford your new iphone.

Do a part 2 for this video .. this round .. put emphasis to ATTITUDE There are hundreds of thousand of candidates holding the same degrees/diploma .. at the end of the day - the one with the right attitude stands out.

Saya sangat gembira saya membuat keputusan yang produktif tentang kewangan saya yang mengubah hidup saya selama-lamanya. Saya seorang ibu tunggal yang tinggal di Melaka Malaysia, membeli rumah kedua saya pada bulan September dan berharap untuk bersara tahun depan pada usia 40 tahun jika keadaan berjalan lancar untuk saya.

Degree education should be a process of letting the mind mature and stretching it so that the mind is resilient, creative and is able to solve a multitude of different problems.

Goodluck guys. Just look into your heart and trust yourself. Do what you think is right and try new things.

by influencing meaning u share ur knowledge, that is the true influencer. if every influencer chose mr money path, then it is great

One of the best things about university life is the chance to broaden your worldview. You will get the opportunity to move to a new city/country, meet people from diverse backgrounds, learn new ideas, join extracurricullar activities that revolve around culture, sports, politics, arts, etc. Campus life is definitely something worth experiencing while you have the opportunity to, something you can never experience merely thru online learning or working gig jobs. It's a once in a lifetime experience that can be the best periods in your life

Best channel ever!

I very much agree with the content of this video, thanks Mr Money.

Thx MR Money for useful sharing for high school graduates, with insights

You video made me think hard about the future. Not for myself, since I'm already a graduate and got a job, but the future of Malaysia. As per your video, people don't go because of poor curriculum, gig economy, and becoming influencers. I also think people give themselves excuses by saying tertiary education is expensive, and results are not guaranteed. In the future, I forsee that demand for cheap, high quality education available in a part time or recording format will be come in high demand. Stuff like Khan Academy, Udemy, and Brilliant are good, but I think there's tremendous opportunity in more directed education opportunities. Meaning, we can't wait for confused youngsters to realize their mistakes and upskill themselves. Instead, we go to those who are searching for talent, and provide them with cheap training opportunities in recording and part time format. This may even change the hiring landscape. Instead of employer's giving training to those they already hired, they can have a 2 stage hiring process. Where for the first stage, employees get hired as interns, with an opportunity to get cheap, general education related to the employers industry. The second stage would be permanent employees with a probation period, where more expensive, but higher quality and focused training is provided. The two stage hiring process can let companies be more sure about the talent they hire too. For revenue model, it can also be two stages. First stage is a consulting and solution fee we get from employers to design a curriculum for their potential hires. Second stage is a subscription fee we collect from employees. Promotion is also important. I think directed learning that screams "you'll definitely get to use the knowledge you learn" is much more marketable than the current secondary education curriculum. If done right, there could be an upskill movement we could start where gig economy workers and low skill workers realize how GDP works, and learn of a pathway to make themselves high pay. It'd be amazing if we could get the government involved I just thought about this, and I think there's much to be discussed and refined, but I just graduated and have too much on my hands. I'd be happy if someone takes the idea and goes with it, but if nobody does, I'll do it myself once I become more financially stable haha

THIS VIDEO IS MUCH NEEDEDDD THANK YOUUUU

Fresh grads are expected to have 3 years experience

The problem with degree education is chain from politics down to the supply line. Company and organization started university not because they want to educate younger generation out for the work force, but because the drill of "oh must get a degree to succeed" mentality parents. College and university especially private offering geek education program that is a trend now and dust few years after, many of such program pop up to try and capture as much youngster to register as possible, weighting them down with at least 100k debt with no industrial guarantee for work. After graduation, you are on your own. Many that is business heavy relying on exploiting cheap labor for work are the mid level business owners, to them your degree means jack shit, they know that they will have to train you even after degree and your demand for salary is way beyond his budget. So if anything a unskilled worker can learn from the internet they will hire them instead, the range of 5k below jobs are all self train and learn able by themselves, which means the degree holder have to dog fight with other unskilled but willing to learn work ready non degree competition. There is too much business owner prefer budget over quality, not to mention they aren't guarantee a skilled worker either from degree holders. Have you seen how many people cheat their way trough college just for that piece of degree? Rich with degree pay lecturers to finish their fyp, Poor degree holders have a number of them really study, while the others find ways to cheat to get the degree. And college/uni is not teaching them industry ready skill to apply in real world, its more of the same style from primary and secondary memorize for exam to win. Vocational school get bad rep for being a hands on skill even though they earn fairly well in their respective skills. Then you have the unknown IT zone where value isn't fix like doctor , lawyer or engineer. They are considered jack of all trades especially non programming skilled. And a huge pile of them is swimming in a cesspool filled with china man business owners whom would exploit them in anyway. Then you have gov that is fuked, education ate shit for decades, no one even try to reform, under skilled or no option students, dropouts and spm leavers apply for teacher's job, one of the MOST important job in the entire nation, under valued, under appreciated, under paid. A few really passionate still try to keep teaching alive, the rest? Ask you to not ask so many question, just memorize for straight A. Good student in the past use to worth something, now when I see straight A student all I think of is the nation building over flow number of memorizing machine. Gov instead of forming a task force to make bold change instead make weird spontaneous change base off their liking. No spend real time to think about industrial regulation, strengthen law against company that tend to exploit work force. Protecting business reputation. We don't have to look far, just look at singapore. when you say you pay for a company's service you pay for the "best" quality. Sure in their sense perhaps their pay and cost of living boggles down their capability to live above B40, compare to us? Hell you may pay the same dolor, but the company sure as hell is putting monkeys into work and the rest of the money is in the pockets of the business owner. They don't care much about reputation here, to them .... as much into their pocket as possible is the normal practice. Just a few days back I heard the PM ask public to list feedback and suggestion ...... like seriously if ya run out of "why the country suck" answer means like other party in this country none have actual clue how to fix the country. Don't get me wrong, I love this country even though everything is shit, I just feel so helpless that the country actual bright politician aren't given a real chance while the garbage tier politician is playing possum. When people list out the problem, they tend to always fight back like winning a debate gets some pride points and shit. Let me give you one example, in the past when Maszlee (ex-education) was given a chance to change education, I was excited, especially since he went on japan to visit. What was I expecting? Well, japan have robust food culture, and plan with systematic food option build to cater maximum benefit to the public young, key food ... natto, I was expecting perhaps he could migrate key option like those, maybe work together with business interested to grow and supply our own natto, put them into the kid's breakfast program and maybe a few of our local healthy option. What was brought back instead? Yes a breakfast program, but none of those healthy shit, instead you have high carb, sugary packet diet that guarantee to build future diabetic patient. Even the more health conscious parents are avoiding those kind of breakfast and willing to spend more for better quality for their kids instead, we end up a half bake program that run short with wasted resource and miss opportunity. Don't forget, our current younger generation is already in sync with japanese culture, we LOVE their food, and some even follow their food diet as it has proven to balance the body out. So what have our active gov learn looking east? Nothing. If they did learn from the east ...... let the god dmn public know. As for the video, well I too know that degree is important especially for career, but lets not kid ourselves, its only important for very specific class of work, especially progression that have skill with a fix price on task they perform. Any career that allow you the flexibility to haggle the value of your skill is a waste of money to pursue a degree. Exception on f&b.

I'm impressed with the vid editor 😆 kudos gais

bro need to pass this to MOE..Please. Im sure Anwar want this to change,.

imagine having the news paper point before the newsletter ads it would transition way way smoother hahah but all and all Tootalllyyyyyy agreed with most of the info here cool content! - almost convo-cating next month 😂

Welp, im a public uni student grads, after i grad ,im working as engineer with low income RM 2000 for 2 year and fed up. Then i apply vocational study as welding inspector which requires SPM ONLY and 3 years as welder. Now im earning 5 time more than what is used to be... From my perspective, depends what are you looking forward to, some degrees are not relevant due to obsolete syllabus especially public university. Hais, waste my time and money

Not everyone is academically inclined. We all have different talents and passions. Success can be found in all fields of endeavour. In some countries, tradesmen such as plumbers can earn more than graduates, more so when there is a glut of graduates and not enough plumbers. So no, getting that piece of paper may not be the best or right choice. Not a one size fits all.

You go to uni, ideally, to learn to think & challenge your preconceived notions. It's the time to explore new horizons, make new friends from different cultural backgrounds, try new roles, join new groups or clubs, and pick up or drop hobbies. If you do it right, by the time you finish your studies, you'll be independent and be able to solve real problems and contribute to the society- which will make invaluable as an employee/employer/entrepreneur/activist/ or whatever you wish to do.

no cows where harm making this video Very fantastic insight which i completely agree on what u mention, above all we have to be curious to learn more rather completely rely on university subjects.

Love the ong kaw doll

Actually, Degree only for those jobs like lawyer, in medicine, engineering then yes you must go to uni to get a degree. But if you choose something else like IT and coding jobs you can learn that for free from google themselves

Formal tertiary education is to get a certificate which makes you have more advantages in the traditional labour market. In other words, it widens your options and increase your negotiation power. Some people said that they don't care about the education level of the candidates(some of them said this for political correctness, and it turns out to be a reason to low ball you), that is not the whole story. Most MNCs have their own career progression policy that still need at least a degree certificate. The education is never ended, the formal education system teaches you to be a good worker with skills needed by market, you need to have life-long learning. We all need two kind of educations, one is the formal education system, another one is you learn from the society and real life. Some questions for youngsters going or not going for a tertiary education: 1. If you are financially capable to go for a tertiary education and you choose not to, can you tell what are the advantages the path you choose are greater than a tertiary certificate? 2. Other than your certificate, what makes you competitive? 3. With the evolution of AI, most industry landscape are changing fast. With or without the certificate, what makes you irreplaceable by AI?

Hebat.. Penerangan yang sangat hebat..

Yes, Degree is still important to apply for job

great content🙏❤👍

in malaysia jobs nowadays even if you get a degree, its gonna end up on you having minimum wage

Many tertiary schoolers I know enrolled thru peer pressure, and do not quite learn and acquire proper skills sets while at it. I've been in corporate real estate last 22 years and encountered lots of young adults & post-graduates who aren't English conversant, can't draft formal letters, lack confidence in liaising with senior corporate execs, care only about making sales but no knowledge of the economy & struggle to understand company needs. They can likely make minimal living among the masses in near future but aren't quite cut-outs at higher professional levels long term. in conclusion, plan and execute your tertiary investment (time included) wisely.

When I look back, I am glad my parent send me to University. Otherwise I won't even able to imagine what I missed and where I would end up after 10 years.

Uni degree years needs to be lessen, replaced with paid internship, all this BS extra government subjects need to go away, and fees needs to be significantly cheaper and more modules need to be from online.

just work outside malaysia. degree dont really provide high salary anymore here. in Singapore for degree holder 3500 sgd. of course its tiring. but u get the idea.

No. Uni syllabus is outdated and overpriced. Unless you want to be a professional like lawyer, doctor etc...its a waste of time and money. You can learn better and more valuable things online these days. I will not ask my child to go to uni and instead save the money and buy her a condo.

The video and editing style has Iman Gadzhi vibes. Were you trying to go for that? 😝 Anyway, nice to see a Malaysian who is doing RU-vid videos as good as other content creators on the platform 👏🎉

What's your take? Do you think degrees are still useful in today's working world? Tell us in the comments below!

Uni education today mostly did not provide the necessary exposure to its relevant job . Save for several degrees which provides lengthy on site education such as in the medical field . I would say , get a diploma. Work in the relevant field . ( Some employers do provide further study opportunities. Etc Sunway. ) Get one for free and get an extra 2-3 years contract.

Solution: change education system 1. Lecturers needs exp in reallife world jobs 2. Lame MPU subjects need to remove/change (except anything about useful in real life skills) 3. Needs more credit hour on core subjects 4. Never consider cheating if got any asisted software helps you 5. Idk anymore, you guys continue . . . 😂

Degrees will always be useful and having a safe environment to learn and nurture the skills needed to fulfill your career path is why universities exists. There are many workplaces where degrees are a must since specific skills are required to handle infrastructures and situations. However university can also reveal potential outside the realm of a degree holder.

give option for 3-4 days work week, so average wage earners can have time to pursue tertiary education/skill training while not sacrificing social/family life in balancing between the desire for higher education and having a living income.

Bro, didn't realize we are both alumni of UPM. It reminds me of the good old days.

Knowledge is power.

The world is changing ! Getting an education is great but dont think u will become rich ! Usually the one without degree earning more n success .live ur passion

Nice sharing👍🏻

My parents say they don't have money to support me for my after-education, and those words shattered my spirits

Guys its better to have some level of tertiary degree on important fields such as 1. Doctors 2. Engineering (all kinds) 3. Lawyers and those classical jobs that Asian parents always wants you to have. It has its own merits but if you somehow decided not want to have a tertiary degree and you have resources such as internet, an ok laptop, i recommend learning programming. Get to know stuff such as Machine learning using python, android app development, excel micro/vbase development and so on. Tutorials are free on youtube and setting up is not that difficult but be adviced, not going for tertiary education will make your life a little bit harder in long run as your competition is very stiff. You might be intelligent but always remember there will always be someone who is more intelligent and more qualified so be best equipped as best as you can

I am studing business in msu hopefully this major will pay off

Getting a degree in Malaysia is pretty much useless.. we'll end up working for a peanut salary job and get stucked with heavy debt for the rest of our lives in this country

great oppoutunitieshuh

We can come out with all sorts of ways to build up a good capable young nations but in the end of the day it is all up to the mindset of the younger generation that beyond the control of even their own guardians/parents. 1+1 doesn't always equal to 2. It is a "fast and furious" era now. Kids nowadays are with their very own "my way" of life. How many younger generation stay in a job for long no matter how good or bad their education background and how good/bad the company providing all sorts of perks/benefits. We all are running on a free flow mode that shape the nation nowaday affected by the happenings around us which may end up either good or bad. We can see the major difference of the older and younger generation way of living their "successful" life. We witnessed the outcomes of the older generation, as for the younger generation there are much to be seen in days to come.

Get a degree/diploma if 1. Your financial approves 2. You are pursuing professional jobs (doctors, lawyers) 3. You just want to get a Business Degree Dont get a diploma/degree if 1. You really know your stuff which is inheriting business from parents 2. You really know your strengths is direct selling 3. You are pursuing common courses (accountant, engineer) Number 3 is because you spend few years studying and end up with 2k salary which of course unless you’re super talented in that industry then you can proceed.

Its not easy in life but we could make it better one step at a time.

I mean . if you're talking about Ai will be replacing the low-skilled workers. I think Malaysia might need to take more than 10 years . I do agree , getting a degree is important but not fundamental . But , low-skilled workers should consider about their next 10 years , they need to learn how to plan , financial controls , even need to learn some soft-skills . Ai is powerful , but some fields are still need human to do it .

Becos this resession year...i advised my childern go to cheapest inst that reconised by govn. Like Politechnic and if malay go to Uitm. Start at Diploma first.

Mr money, based on your convo robe..i guess you graduated at Upm😊

dont go to university if ur mindset to get high salary...do other thing please....please put in ur mind go to University to get knowledge and contribute back to community once successful. Money will come later.

Can you something similar video for students considering to pursue studies in Masters?

i see degrees as a "just incase" thing, i mean if you don't wanna get one sure, who am i to stop you but if you have a degree or some sort it sorta acts like a safety net depending on what degree you take

In my point of view Its 2023, uni tbh start to became not relevant for certain course like business, it, design, etc. Unless you pursue medical and engineering and other, then ya, uni will be my first and only choice. Most of the company were hunger for candidate skills and experience For phailing and ehailing, in few years time, the job will be replace stage by stage by autonomous tech and drone

Even if people graduated on uni, and get certificates or degrees it doesn't mean they will accept by company easily. In current day societies the companies don't really care if the job seekers have certificate or not, they only judge them during interviews and their attitude when they are talking. There are even some people who graduated in harvard uni, and end up unemployed to this day.

Not everyone is brainy kind or like to study. There are also not enough white collar or high pay professional jobs for every grads. They are those who are good with hands and interpersonal skill sets. The education ministry needs to be able to upgrade modules and make relevant changes to match with fast developing economy. Precisely, students are not able to see light at the end of the tunnel which causes them to think twice in pursuing further education. I am game for good education but must make sense and appealing to students to take on the course.

nah, a lot of ppl without university study, did sales and got lot of saving and investment through bunch of commission, and in the end, they acts like company will fail without them.

Hard to convince others when an influencer who became rich from selling properties and from being an influencer but asking others to go to the University right? That's the conundrum facing the young these days... If they look up to you, they will emulate you...

I do think smma can be succesful for everyone its hard but if u do it right u can succeed university is also good but with the situation in malaysia i doubt it

My brother is currently egging my parents to actually not continue to do SPM, instead, he prefers to do giat MARA. Can you please do a video about this matter? Thank you so muchhh

Well, you need to think of the cost to study is very expensive, not every one can afford it.

he went all out 3:50, very serious.

start building up people network during high school and university to increase job opportunity in the future🤔

One of the main reason Family background. It's plain observe If you're born wealthy & above money is not issue. When money is not an issue study becomes smooth sailing Unless someone did above choose to be an influencer or run a family business with attractive returns

One thing im grateful that i went to uni was making my engineering patent. I wouldn’t be able to do that shit without college lol

results of graduates = karen of chiang-mai/vietnam/france/england especially those which teach psychology

I really like your “kaw” 🤭 I am your “Ong Kaw” fan now lol

no matter how high, study like this really lack real work practicalities while studying.

Just get a mainstream degree coz employers pay more with the scroll. Pro tip is to avoid engineering in general unless it's a job attached program. It's a saturated market you'll most likely end up doing something else like sales.

66% of PTPTN borrowers (Degree holder) only got below Rm 4000 salary after 10 years of working That's why when people say get degree because in 5 years you can earn 5k salary are stupid...... where's the data showing that?

Different work start and work hard

Hahaha.. this one i do have to agree.

I like how u put an ONG KAW tag on the brown cow.

With Ai and sge of computer going to uni is a big fat idea Better do an job with future skills will be better

Most Malaysian uni is under top 200 World Uni, but Indian not there but all over world meh work

if you think by not having a uni degree can get you far (as in rising through the ranks) in the corporate world or even SME, good luck w that. BUT if you don't want to get a degree but still want to succeed, you can try trading or sales. its much better to keep your head down n learn these traits for 4 years without any pay than paying to go to uni to learn things that you won't practice anyway

STEM subjects la required degree. And for those want to be teacher or lecturer.

I want to become a RU-vidr….

At least I will have less competition when i continue my study

If I want to pursue an MBA degree in Malaysia, which universities are recommended ? Any reasons why ?

I am one of the unfortunate person who did not get to go uni or college but I had intrest in computers and software I self learn alot of things would say only frist job was very very hard to find after the frist job finding a job got Abit easier not saying it's very easy but it's still easier than the frist job 😅

Go uni just to enjoy life before really entering the real world, then you realise life is shit, coz your parents ask you to pursue medicine, lawyer etc, just to be successful and need to work to pay off your student loan, when you reach early 30s you’re ‘financially stable’ where as your friend who drop out from uni is earning more than you, anyhow and work until your 60, and retire but you too old to enjoy life, imagine taking out kwsp and buy a sport car or travel but you have back pain or too old….. The old way or ‘the parents way’ doesn’t work anymore, stop being a corporate slave. Stop listening to ‘others’ it’s a trap

too many uni graduates these days but not enough TVET graduates

Dulu kalau ada diploma senang nak dapat job, sekarang degree baru senang dapat job, lepas ni master atau phd baru boleh dapat job macam negara US

I would say hiring a person with "common sense" and "problem solving skills" is much much much more important than the degree. Hiring someone to "solve your problem" vs "finding problems for your to solve" is a BIGGGG difference!

A uni degree opens up a whole new and higher world.

As a degree holder i recommend people to get certificate before officially approach to workplace. University is a place not only for studying but also meeting new friends. Making new friends may benefits u in thr future. Some people earn their first 1million by meeting rich people or high capabilities people to help thrm out.

I would say yes, unless you already have a skill you planned to hone that doesnt require tertiary education or a successful full day business. Going to university broadens your mind, you get to make connections, know many people from all parts of the country, even the world, you get to know how people think, how people learn, see how others grow. Improve your language skills, presentation skills,etc.

List ; If you are academic orianted : get a degree If you are money orianted : get the hell outta uni and do you hustle right away!but at the same time upgrade youself,with skills.

Who want to spend 4 yrs, pay ptptn loan afterwards to get a degree that pays rm2000? Only if they are lucky enough to get a job.

Hi,im 33..currently working to make the end meet..deciding to take my degree..should i,or should i not?

You can have one, but it's not a silver bullet.
