When I was a kid my mother always reminded us that we have to study hard for us to be equipped in the battle called life. Since I was still a kid, I was wondering how we can go to a battle without having proper gear or armor? Then when I grew up, little by little I understand what is meant by that battle. She also added to her nostalgia that we are not rich, thus, the only treasure that she can give to us is education. After I finished my bachelor degree and had my first teaching job in Baliuag, Bulacan I am proud to say that I am able to use correctly the treasure that my mother gave me.
As of now, I have a nice job here in Oman with good salary. I finished my Master’s degree in Business Administration in 2005. But still I want to pursue my Doctoral degree and I planned to enroll last 2010 but I was not able to push through because due to some reasons.
Last 2011, I received an offer for teaching job in other country. I passed the initial interview. They asked me to submit all my credentials, and when they learned that I don’t have any Doctoral units they gave the position to a more qualified candidates. I was very disappointed and I regret why i did not push through my plan in enrolling my Doctoral degree. At that very moment, I told myself “If I only I had at least 9 units earned of Doctoral degree, maybe I got the job”. But I guess it’s not my luck. And I know God has a better plan for me.
Nowadays, we live in a world that is obsessed with higher credentials. If you want to be successful in your chosen field of expertise you must be educationally prepared. Most of the companies are hiring employees based on the experience and proper documents such as certificates and diploma. And if you think that education is expensive, try ignorance
