Students often ask me if they should take Form 6. My answer to them is that although Form 6 is free, it is very tough and should

you fail you would have wasted 2 years.

You might say that 2 years is nothing, but you must remember that you are still young at 17 years old and do not think about job salary, needing money to take care of a family and your aging parents, money to buy a car and a house, and money for emergencies should your children or elderly parents fall sick.

If you do not have at least 6As in your SPM, you should just take the Foundation or Pre-U and continue with your studies.

Choosing a university where the students mostly use English to communicate is important so that you can improve your English. According to a report on May 29, 2013 in the Star newspaper, “A research study has confirmed that there is a correlation between English language skills and the salary gap between those who are proficient in the language and those who are not.

A study by research organisation Euromonitor International for the British Council states that the learning of the English language could increase the earning power of individuals in developing countries by approximately 25%.”f

A lot of students also like to wait a long while before they start their Foundation studies. We must keep in mind that “TIME = Money”. The faster you begin your studies, the faster you complete, the faster you begin your work and gain valuable work experience and this translates to money in term of your salary.

Remember, the decisions that you make now, can change your life (in this case, your salary) forever. Take time to discuss with an experienced counselor to make your decisions wisely. Choose the university with the best environment and not the university with the cheapest fees, so that your salary will high for the next 60 years of your work life

I have made a simple calculation of how much you would earn at age 31, if you begin your studies in January. Look at the amount of money that you could have ad make the right decision.

1) SPM – Foundation (1 year) – Degree (3 years) = graduate at age 21

a) Graduates with good command of the English language

• Starting salary as Executive at RM2,800 x 12 months of first year work = RM33,600
• 2nd year  salary after 12% increment = RM3,136 x 12 months = RM37,632
• 3rd year salary after promotion to Senior Executive because of hard work & good English communication skills, given a RM600 increment = RM3,736 x 12 months = RM44,832
• 4th year salary after 12% increment = RM4,148 x 12 months = RM50,208
• 5th year salary after 12% increment = RM4,646 x 12 months = RM55,752
• 6th year salary after promotion to Assistant Manager  because of hard work & good English communication skills, given a RM600 increment = RM5,246 x 12 months = RM62,952
• 7th year of salary after 12% increment = RM5,876 x 12 months = RM70,512
• 8th year of salary after 12% increment = RM6,581 x 12 months = RM78,972
• 9th year salary after 12% increment = RM7,371 x 12 months = RM88,452
• 10th year salary after promotion to Manager  because of hard work & good English communication skills, given a RM1,000 increment = RM8,371 x 12 months = RM100,452

Total salary at age 31 = RM623,364

b) Graduates with weak English communication skills

• Starting salary as Executive at RM2,700 x 12 months of first year work = RM32,400
• 2nd year  salary after 8% increment = RM2,916 x 12 months = RM34,992
• 3rd year salary after 8% increment = RM3,149 x 12 months = RM37,788
• 4th year salary after 8% increment = RM3,401 x 12 months = RM40,812
• 5th year salary after promotion to Senior Executive given a RM600 increment = RM4,001 x 12 months = RM48,012
• 6th year salary after 8% increment = RM4,321 x 12 months = RM51,852
• 7th year of salary after 8% increment = RM4,666 x 12 months = R55,992
• 8th year of salary after 8% increment = RM5,039 x 12 months = RM60,468
• 9th year salary after 8% increment = RM5,442 x 12 months = RM65,304
• 10th year salary after 8% increment = RM5,877 x 12 months = RM70,524

Total salary at age 31 = RM498,144 ( a difference of RM125,220 from the graduate with good English taking the Foundation course)

2) SPM – STPM (2 years) – Fail STPM so take Foundation (1 year) – Degree (3 years) = graduate at age 23

Graduates with weak English communication skills

• Starting salary as Executive at RM2,700 x 12 months of first year work = RM32,400
• 2nd year  salary after 8% increment = RM2,916 x 12 months = RM34,992
• 3rd year salary after 8% increment = RM3,149 x 12 months = RM37,788
• 4th year salary after 8% increment = RM3,401 x 12 months = RM40,812
• 5th year salary after promotion to Senior Executive given a RM600 increment = RM4,001 x 12 months = RM48,012
• 6th year salary after 8% increment = RM4,321 x 12 months = RM51,852
• 7th year of salary after 8% increment = RM4,666 x 12 months = R55,992
• 8th year of salary after 8% increment = RM5,039 x 12 months = RM60,468

Total salary at age 31 = RM362,316 ( a difference of RM261,048 from the graduate with good English taking the Foundation course)

The calculation is only until your age of 31. Imagine how much you could have earned or lost by age 60. Think and decide well.

Do you want to be at age 47, with a house loan, 3 young children and your father in the hospital, and look at your low salary wishing you had made a better decision 30 years ago. Think and decide well.
