So how have you spent your education years? What was school like? Did you make lots of friends? How were your grades? Did you become a better person? School has got to be a significant phase in life. People lament how things learnt in school are not related to what they do afterwards from graduation ever since. But has it got to be exactly related to what you do for a living later on?
The fact is, school does prepare for work. For integration into society. Because at school, we learn to work with others. Interact. Manage social circles. Demonstrate professionalism. Develop confidence. And find true friends. And academic preparation is a test of discipline, punctuality, focus and so on. Just like work which as a simple example, requires puncuality at least. Think about coming to work on time. And turning up for lectures on time. There is a correlation.
The rat race in Singapore is pretty brutal. It's like and up- for- grabs race, with immigrants fighting together with the locals to make money. Immigrants have already shown they are capable of excelling in the service sector. And some have even settled down here in Singapore to get the best education the country can offer. Education in Singapore is big in the region. It has attained such a status as a result of decades of building reputation.

The pencil is so cute((: Heh.
On a more important note, you may be pursuing Business Admin now. But you may be a teacher after your graduation. You see, they are not exactly related. But the working rules still apply to every job, regardless of what the nature is. Punctuality, working attitude and yada yada yada.
So bottomline, I agree with you, school and work is definitely correlated(:
And hmmmh, I need to be more punctual for lectures! :p
