26/07/2007 12:26:17 PMAsk for installaments form the school. Work part time while you study to pay off the loan. Parents, we need to respect regardless of what they say. We are not in a position to understand their challenges. Giving birth to you & bringing you to this satge is itself a commendable act. Be grateful & take control from now onwards without putting any blame on others especailly your parents.

26/07/2007 4:40:42 PMFor some student, i guess this is a constant issue that we will face due to finances.
Parents can sometimes say things like that because they think they have lived in the world and knows what is best for you and the whole family. Don't be too hard on yourself or your family. Whatever it is that they are trying to say to you, i'm sure they do care about you, but probably they think that other priorities should be met first.
I believe that anything is possible if that is what you want and if that is what you believe in. From the looks of it, i'm assuming that your family is in need of some financial backing?? i'm just guessing.
I use to work and study at the same time. Many students that i've met does the same thing as well. It's not easy to work and study at the same time, but it is very possible. If that is what it takes for you to have your dream, then it's a worth while effort.
As for non-profit organisation....i reckon you have to keep convincing your parents to work something out so that your parents can be happy with the money that you are bringing into the family (assuming if you can work or study part-time) and at the same time you can get help from the non-profit organisation.
another thought that i have is to work in an existing IT firm. it probably sound weird since u don't have the qualification, but trust me, many starting jobs out there don't need you to have a qualification. ( although the add says that you need certain qualification) you would probably learn so much more working rather than studying. If you have some experience in the It industry, i urge you to apply for any IT jobs that you think is suitable for you. It doesn't hurt to apply. I'm sure that if you show your credibility as a person who can do the job in a good fashioned manner, they will be interested in hiring you. Experience really makes alot of difference in your resume when u compare to a fresher.
That is in my personally observation as well as many others who have worked after their studies have found that they have wasted their time chasing that paper qualification which didn't give them much depth in terms of what they want to do in their life.
well, all the best.

28/07/2007 12:53:16 AMI agree with sultana. studying esp. with IT will never equal to the learning you get from actual work. even volunteer or work experience.
you can count on getting a good pay and back yourself in an interview on your skills and self learning from work rather than school, courses or uni.
another idea maybe starting your own IT business...
i say this as someone who has interviewed people and been interviewed over 6 years of industry experience in IT

19/08/2007 2:10:29 AMFrom my point of view, I think that you can work and study at the same time. Since you are now mature, I am sure you already have the discipline to do so. Plus, I am sure you are now able to prioritise better too. If you work and study, you will then realise how difficult it is to earn money and when you succeed one day, you can reminisce the time when you work very hard just to make a change in your life.
Even Nabi Muhammad s.a.w (PBUH) encourages us to study even when we get older. Therefore, I don't think there is any reason for you not to do so. Even if your parents say things like that, I hope that you will not be sadden by their remarks.
Personally, I am a retainee in now in my junior college and my mum says things that hurts me all the time. However, I did a grave mistake by being rude towards her and insulting her that at least I am more educated than her. Now, I regretted every word that I said to my mum. Because I know she meant well. She wants me to realise that education is important. Yet, the way she say it sounds like she's offending me.
But at the end of the day, she is my mother and I should have respected her. I hope that you won't do the same thing as me. Just be nice to your parents. Let them say anything that satisfy them. At the end of the day, they will just get tired of it. And when you succeed later, they will be the proudest parents ever to have a son like you. :)

Salam alaik,
May all be bless with good health and iman, insyallah.
I having this problem for a long time. Ever since my family is divorce, i having a hard time studying and supporting myself. I dunnoe where to get help. I was not a very good student in school last time. But now, i'm mature enough to think of my future needs. I was accepted and qualified to take up Diploma in IT @ MDIS but the problem now is that i dun have the support from my family. The only advice was given by them is to just work where i can. Dun need to study. I dun noe why now days parents think so narrow and easy. With the economy we are going thru rite now, there's no way i can get good pay with only one stupid N-Level Cert.
Cost fees: $6000/-
Starting course: 27 Aug 2007
Now, i'm in a need of finance. Even the non-profit organisation can't help without my parents supporting. Anyone got ideas? I'm in a need of help now.
