Hidy Ho Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Hairdressing is nice, but high school completed gives her some more options in life. [color:"blue"] Is this really true in Thailand???? Finishing high school gives more options??? How about finishing university ... will this truly give a person more options??? My friend has a young Thai girlfriend who's trying to decide what university to attend next year. He has the ability to finance the most expensive university in BKK ... however, neither him or his g/f knows whether there is any true benefits of going to an expensive uni (say ABAC, Bangkok U or Ransit) vs. going to a cheaper institution (say Rajabhat, Ramkhamkhaeng or ???). Or is it better to use the fund toward vocational training (such as beauty salon school) or start a small business. Coming from USA, he (and I am) is a believer in education ... but not sure if education is truly the was to expand one's options in Thailand.

[/color] Hi Jazz, I think every one has different view on this. Fo me i am all for education,my wifes son is only 9 now, but we plan to bring him to Sydney to finish his education in Oz Uni. He is a bright boy in top 3 of his class all the time. we have thai students living with us a new one each 6 months (after they learn english )and pass the level needed to gain entry to the UNI they want for the course of study they have chosen. The current guy is going to be a lawyer,one before was studying marketing. Any where between 8-10K thai students in Sydney at any one time in our English/Unis etc. Not cheap when you add up the course/flights/visa/accommodation ect. So there is enough interest in Thailand for further education..if the jobs are there is another matter however. RE small business...nothing wrong in that either..imo.

[/color] Of course it matters. One is making contacts just like MBA programs in the USA. Go to expensive uni where the other students come from rich families and you have a leg up. Remember in Thailand image is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasmine Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 [color:"red"] but I can just see the blank stare I would get [/color] I have tried this blank stare thing with Hubby and could not get away with it. Why can some woman do it and I cannot? It can come handy at times, I think. Jasmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/color] Education gives options period. Also, depending on the skills, some people are better off in vacational schools if they know what they want to do. Cheers!

pattaya127 Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Finishing high school gives more options??? ---------------------- It can't hurt for sure. Just making sure or funding education so that kids stay mandatorily in school until 16, would be nice already. 18 better, the last 2 years of which could be vocational training.
