Laid Off Unemplyment Center Employees Protest Senator Wagner’s Announcement to Run for Governor

Like it or not Pennsylvania, the 2018 Governor’s race has officially started, and the steaks cannot be set any higher.  Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Tom Wolf is the only person standing between State Senator Scott Wagner and a conservative General Assembly turning the Commonwealth into a billionaire’s paradise.  Senator Wagner is looking to follow the footsteps of Rust-Belt governors Scott…

I loathe making decisions cos i have such a fickle mind. For now, i couldn’t decide if I should apply for

a) Diploma in HR through a private institution (Kaplan or PSB Academy)

Pros: - Kaplan’s course duration is ONLY 8 months!

Cons: - PSB’s course duration is 12 months. Meaning it might affect my wedding and honeymoon. - Both schools doesn’t offer subsidy for this course and i can’t afford to pay $1K+ monthly which means i must take up a loan from a bank or TCC

All this headache about money reminds me that every Singapore citizen has PSEA (Post- Secondary Account.

So i called in to find out the balance of my PSEA.

Guess what?

I have $4k in my account. Wow! If only i could use it to pay for my dip. But sadly, it can only be used for government schools. Like ITE or Poly.

But like sayang like nvr used. So i decided to explore my options to take night classes at ITE.

Again, i called ITE to enquire. The higher nitec in HR has 5 modules. Each modules takes 6 months to complete. If you do your maths, you will know that it will take me freaking THREE YEARS to complete that course.

Might as well i take the diploma from Kaplan right. 8 months only.

And i also found out from a friend that if you don’t use your PSEA, they will credit it into your CPF account. So I’m not gonna lie, i felt kinda relief after hearing that.
