Funny, my parents claimed the opposite thing. They feel that going Poly is a waste of time, and the only Uni you can move on to is NTU. They wanted me to go NUS, so they asked me to go JC.

But I'd rather spend my time picking up skills that I can actually use when I go out to work. What's the point of studying the same old subjects? Also, if I go Poly, I'd actually be more willing to go to school. In JC, I just feel like ponning all the time.
