Types of People in Education Fairs

Two Sundays ago, I was at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center for The Star Education fair 2012. It has been quite sometime since I've attended the education fair myself. 

Some were not even in secondary 5 yet, but they were there to survey on the possible courses that they might consider for the future. Some others have already set their mind on what they want to do and where to do it. And since I was working in a professional qualifications' booth, I also get to met not only pre or post SPM students, but also working adults who were interested in taking up this professional qualifications.

Looking at these people brings nostalgic memories about me years ago. You could see...

(1) Woven bags collectors

When you're standing as a representative of colleges/universities/professional qualifications' point of view, holding woven bags that were to be given away, you're going to see all sorts of people.

Someone of which who will come up to you and ask "Can I have one?" What can I say? No? But really, when they came to ask that, we'll try to pull them in to hear what we've got to say whether you like it or not.

And there were others who came to the booth, and when I went up to him/her to ask if they wanted to know more about it, they asked, "Is there any more of the bags?" Since we were running short on the bags, I told him, "Sorry, we're kinda out of woven bags." And that's only to have him reply in front of my face, "Oh..no bag? Then I don't want to hear la. If got bag only I sit and hear." wtf?

(2) Pre / Post-SPM students

Some were confused as to what choice do they have after school. And when they come to me with interest to know more about what they can do, I find myself pretty happy to have give them some free advise. Well, I've been in their shoes, and know advise from all sides is all good.

(3) Decided Students

I've seen really determined people who decided not to pursue accounting in the future. When I ask them, they'll be like "No..no..not interested in accounting. Thanks." Well, it's really good for them to have made a firm decision on what they want to do. At least, they would not be lost at the end of the day. And if they were to start studying in any course that they've chosen, they'll need to have interest in it. With interest, then only they would not have felt that the course would be too difficult.

This is just a random post to write down my day's observation at the education fair. This is like studying the human nature. Haha! Well, that's what you will know after having to stand around the whole day seeking for interested people to be pulled in to talk with our counsellors.

This post was intended to be a photography post, but then I got lead away into some other topic. Haha! Will post up the photography one in my next post! :)
