Education System or me

As mentioned in previous entry I am searching for candidates to fill up Accounts Executive position. Today I met up with 3 more candidates.
All of them with Bachelor Degree in Accountancy with at least 6 months to a year.
Their age between 24-25 years old and graduated from their Degree at least a year ago.

I tested all of them with simple double entry.
Ah! to my disappointment all of them received '0' mark.
You will give them the same as well .....

Among answers received from them :

* Expenses in Credit Balance
* Sales in Debit Balance
* Furniture & fittings is expenses
* Debtors in credit balance

.... and they are all graduate of Bachelor Degree in Accountancy.
Ambition to be an Accountant.

After having a hard time testing them on basic double entry, here are some of very annoying answer I received :

Me : Do you know the questions I just asked you is basic foundation for accounting job?
Candidate : Yes. But I never learn all those.

Me : How do you earn your Bachelor Degree in Accountancy?
Cancidate : Nope. never remember I did that.

Me : Ahhhhhh.... your syllabus must be the different type of Accounting studies.mmmmm
Candidate : ahhhhh... true true (with very blur and innocent look)

Me : Why you want to leave your current employment?
Candidate : Current position is Accounts Clerk and I am a Bachelor Degree, I need to be an Accounts Executive position.

Me : Tell me role of Accounts Executive?
Candidate : Don't need to do ground work and documentation. Just present and analyse to the top management.

Me : What is full sets of Accounts?
Candidate : Income Statement

Me : Thats all?
Candidate : Yeah!

Me : How are you going to analyse thing if you don't even know Expenses suppose to be in Debit Balance and Debtor suppose to be in Debit Balance.
Candidate : I just report...

I have many things to write but it was very frustrating moment today.
I almost loose my patience facing all these young ones!

Good luck to these people.
I wonder what they learnt in their Degree???
I am one without a Degree but just work hard from bottom to the top. All through experience and initiative.

I believe all these Graduates earned their Degree by just memorising the theories to pass exam and forget about it after graduated.
They can't even practic what they had learned?
Is there something wrong with our education system?

I am a Graduate finally

I received my final result last Tuesday!

One BIG hug to myself!!! I am finally MBA Graduate!!!! ahahahahahahahahahahaha

I am so proud of myself. This is my biggest achievement after almost 16 years working like mad woman saving blood,tears and sweat money to pay for my tertiary education. Hug myself again....

As usual office job is very hectic.Many deadlines! Extremely... high expectation from my perfectionist and flawless Boss. Whom may still thinking he is Almighty! Myself working my butt out to meet the demand. I know I should may just ignore the perfect and flawless requirement but I just can't! Why I need to torture myself? because I feel irresponsible if I don't meet the demand although its sounds ridiculous! I can't explain but it is one type of ego in me and my Boss happens to know this is my weakness and he just love to torture me mentally! Ah! feel like a mad woman..

I am now busy taking care on my face heeling process. So far so good.. but my right cheek big dot is the most stubborn one!

My 2010, started with repairing my left jaw. No! nobody hit me on my face but my jaw disc dislocate due to stress.. how did this happen? I just don't know! no clue..

Next... will be major dental care maintenance and then follow with my body and healthcare overall. I need to achieve my idle weight again... MUST!!!

Well too much damage to myself these few years to fullfill my dreams... it is not easy to survive alone and have to depend on yourself since right after school.

I am glad and thankful to be where I am now! All the hard work, sort off give me this result good and bad.

What is next for me? Looking forward for better and challenging job and my online store more success. So far so good since it launched few month back! Glad to be able to start this.

Tomorrow.. I am going to shopping for my hard work!!!

This year will be about travelling and earning more money for my old days!!!!

I want to live my golden years in style... may sitting by the carribean beach or shopping in Paris or even visit historical place in all over the world.
