Of science and arts streams...

many people are fighting to get into science streams....just for biology so that they can get a shot at medicine.
what's the point of doing so?

everyone thinks that doctors are successful jobs. hmmm....try naming me a doctor? and i don't mean Ph.D holders.. took a while??
now name me a artist....da vinci and picasso comes to mind in an instant . again...try naming me a musician... beethoven, mozart etc.... how about a footballer..none other than beckham will come to mind...

 what do these people's carreer have in common? they don't need to study biology or chemistry to excel in their jobs.

science stream has always overshadowed the arts stream. arts stream in malaysia have always been for those who can't score in PMR.  people always look down on those in arts stream. but how many are actually aware that arts stream actually offers business etc etc subjects... take a look at business people....they are one of the highest earners....they bring in the country's income....so why look down on arts stream?

beckham can't even solve kindergarten maths questions(british syllabus). mind you, this isn't any beckham on the road, its the one and only david robert joseph beckham. and he can't even do his son's maths homework. malu you may say, but take a good long glance at his bank account and probably your jaw will drop the whole day.

so why push yourself so hard and stress to get into science stream?
