Yeah, many students wish that they would graduate soon. But we graduates wish to be students again. Why? Here are the perks of being a student
1. No classes during typhoons , holidays and weekends. Working people like us don't. T_T
2. When you got kicked out of a school,its easy to find another one. If you got fired, good luck in finding another job, due to our unstable economy, getting a decent job is considered a "stroke of luck".
3.And last and certainly the best. ALLOWANCE, most students have their parents to pay for them. Unlike when you are woking, you have to excert more effort in earning your money, and most parents cut off their children's allowance when they have their own jobs. And no vat will be deducted on allowance
Hay, I miss being a student, where I don't have to pay for anything, I would just have to ask from my parents. And no TAX deductions. Since you don't pay for anything like electric bills, phone bills, food, you have your allowance all by yourself. You can buy anything you want with it, without worrying that you'll starve becasue you don't know where to get some money.
You'll probably wonder why I'm whining, its because of the damn VAT, I'm barely making enough money to support my self, and then the government will deduct even more? What will happen to us?
Yes I'm broke, at first I could't believe it, said to my self, how can I be broke, when I have a job, then it hit me, I have bills to pay now, and government obligations to fulfill.
SO guys, especially kids who still rely on their parents. You're lucky, because you don't feel the financial strain that your parents feel right now, and don't be in a hurry to graduate. Enjoy the "luxury" that you have. And for those who have allowances, learn to save and make the most out of it!
Mahirap ang buhay ngayon, maawa kayo sa magulang ninyo na nag papakapagod magtrabaho kumita lang ng pera.
As my officemate said "Sana umulang ng pera sa Pilipinas" .
