Glad that my message brought a great impact to many forumers here!

I'm taking ICSA in part time basis. Initially I aim to take Master in Economics or Master in Law, but local universities don't accept my application because I do no have relevant backgrounds for both. Since ICSA is a program that could lead me to human resource career path, and is affordable to me, I decided to take. When I first saw the schedule before I registered for ICSA, it looked good to me, 4 consecutive weekends classes, 9am to 5.30pm, subsequently an assignment to be completed within 30 days, PLUS attending second subject if the class is available; but when I started attending the classes, it turned to be a nightmare:

1. my weekends were meant to sleep a bit later, and also to settle my personal commitments (bring my dog for grooming, clean the bedroom, clean the study room, do my part time jobs, bring family for dinner etc), but I totally couldn't do it any more during the 4 consecutive weekends. I was really tired.

2. During assignment weeks, I thought I would have more time to rest, but who knows the assignment is not that easy as I thought because it needs us to do research, self-study (lectures just read the notes during classes). I thought I could do it once I reach home after work, but it's very tiring, after coming back from work, all I want is to take a short time to rest, eat a proper dinner, watch TV news, read the newspapers etc - but I couldn't do it any longer.

3. my current course is a fast-tract program - each subject that's supposed to be done in 6 months, I'm finishing it in 1 month, not to say lectures are just reading the notes page by page during the class (somehow I think I might as well study from home).

Perhaps I'm a slow learner, therefore I find it hard to pick up new skill (my degree has nothing to do with any well known/common majoring in the market ); what I'm experiencing right now might be different from you all.

Added on May 24, 2012, 11:15 pmDo you think everyone can earn 5 digits as he wants? It's really boiled down to many reasons.
Think why many of them aren't earning 5 figures a month and why many people have 2 to 3 part time jobs.

I would say this is a very very good start, especially as you are only 23 this year.
Keep it up.

I have no idea what are you talking about.
He jealous you having higher pay than he does given both of you hold the same job scopes and now you replied you said the same thing also?

If I could turn back time, I would start working right after SPM.

I disagree.

I have seen an engineer selling insurance, Biotech graduate working as property leasing officer, EE Engineer working as graphic designer etc.

It's not the quality of the course that determine who you are, it's you yourselves that building working experience you're holding today and that mould you to a higher peak in yoru career.
