  ITE grads are the best.
  
  I had a friend who graduated from ITE. After that, he started working for a few years and felt frustrated that he would be stuck at that level without a degree. So due to push-factors with nothing much to lose, he ventured out and started his own business. Today, he owns (all fully paid for) a BMW, a Japanese car and two condos.
  
  As for me and my glorious engineering degree.....I'm still trying to hang on to my job, still struggling to pay my property mortgage and car loans. Two condoms also cannot afford.
