Its my girlfriend parents chicken rice stall. They selling tauge, chicken and rice. Sometimes I go there to help and ask my girlfriend how much her parents earn per month. They only work from 6pm to 11pm to earn 7k per month. Since she is the only children in her family so I assume that I will get the chicken rice stall once we married. So I think that selling chicken rice pays more that go into uni.
In other words, don't go university - find a girlfriend whose parent's owns a stall and hopefully take over it one day by virtue of marriage.
By the way, sorry to nitpick but won't that actually equate to RM3500 split between you and your girlfriend?
Ok. I do not deny that opening a stall and selling food can earn you lots of money. In fact, anyone who is hard-working and has a sense of business can make tons of cash with a little bit of luck and opportunity. But for you to say that by opening a stall you can earn more money than going to university? You are now comparing people who doesn't further their studies and people pursue higher education - and stating that look by 23 I can earn Rm7000 as opposed to you buggers who are fresh grads.
Since you are comparing the higher scale rather than the average person (which you are since you are comparing the stalls who rake in huge profits - which actually can reach RM30k++), then allow me to retort.
Ganesh Kumar Bangah (current CEO of MOL Global) made his first million at the age of 23. He went to University - completed his Bachelor's in Computer Science.
Joel Neoh (CEO of Groupon) -Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, Monash made his millions after 6 years of graduating.
And there are many more. But wait - you may say its not fair. These are just a few out of the many university graduates that made it big. Right - how many percent of people who open their own stalls rake in megabucks then.
So yeah - your statement that "that selling chicken rice pays more that go into uni" doesn't hold ANY water.
