Money shortages

The difficulties that I face when making decisions for my education is what I want to work when I graduate university like for example, computer engineering etc. I can overcome this by doing the education that I like and learn it through the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
I might have to think of something else, but it is mostly I wouldn’t enjoy.

# data[].attributes.body
The main diffidcutly that I face is that relatives/family/friends say that I don’t know how to play these games and do urban farming and that they don’t believe in me

They need to remember: i played these games b4

Mr Jude Yeo [Father]

-Singapore is not a big country, hence I find that there is no benefits of studying Geography in Singapore.

-Even though the income may not be that much, I must respect his decisions on who he wants to become.

-Worried that there might be dangers that accompany his job roles

1. Alexis Macallister, you should do urban farming because it is good for the environment and I think that it will blow up.

2. Did you know that in Manchester City (England), they are doing a similar project and it succeeded to if you were to do it in Singapore, the industry will go well.

3. You can contribute well to the workforce if you work hard now :)

# data[].attributes.body
1.she would tell Alexis to give up on his goals

2. She would explain to him why he should not become an urban farmer

3.she would advice him to not study geography in university

Ah Ma

1. Will you earn enough money to stabilise the entire family?

2. There might not be a future for you if you continue studying geography.

3. If you do not have a backup plan then how will you live for the rest of your life?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Most of his peers were unsupportive and concerned of his career choice .

2.(Li Ting-friend ) : unsupportive of his career choice

I would tell him about all the downsides being a farmer/gardener especially in Singapore

All the ThiNGOs he learnt in geography will leave him with very little job occupations

# data[].attributes.body
Mr Matthew Tan

1. I would advise him to pursue a career related to science

2. Do a career related to STEM

3. Not recommend him to be a gardener

(Melvin Chow)

I think that he should continue to persuade his career as an urban farmer and it would help the people with no jobs to farm with you.

(Laletha)

I think that you being a urban farmer can help a bright future to help sustain Singapore’s food needs

(Steve Chua)

I think you should teach the younger generation of enthusiasts about ideas of urban farming.

# data[].attributes.body
Ah Ma:

1. I don’t encourage your decisions

2. You may end up with no career if you pursue your aspirations

3. I am worried you may not have enough savings and a stable income

# data[].attributes.body
1.There is a lack of opportunity for him if he studies geography.

2.He will be unable to apply his geography degree for a job.

3.There is little to no purpose for him to study geography.

How much will you earn from it?

Will it benefit you?

2) 1: Im glad that you are choosing to learn Geography overseas and pursue your dreams.

2: Hopefully you can get a job and be able to help Singapore one day

3: You should get a part time job and help the farmers to see what it’s like.
