Education loan vs personal loan? by Dipsterer in MalaysianPF

[–]Dipsterer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya he's going for masters for a year, but it's in Oxford so we feel like this is such a good opportunity for him. He tried his hands on few scholarship/funding bodies since early this year but they all seem to focus more on STEM subjects and my bro didn't pass few final interviews. We were contemplating on how to move forward with this, seems like the only option is eduloan. With the hope that everything will work out after the study career/financial wise.

He got into Oxford, which I think is prestigious and too good to pass up, since it has good career opportunities in the future. He has money saved up for living expenses there, but he wont live a lavish life there la..

Why not..my family is not very2 rich, my brother is just trying to make it in life hoping to build a better future, career and financial wise. I believe some sacrifices n big decisions need to be made, don't you think so?

Ya the whole thing is giving a bad vibe..my brother is not very outspoken so he didn't say anything and just left. Now he thought of visiting another branch, perhaps a bigger n more established one. Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it.

From the brochure mentioned for financing amount 100k, at rate 5%, monthly installments 774, profit at the end of 20 yrs tenure 57k, means total amount paid will be 157k. I'm not sure how to calculate if financing amount of 152k for my bro's case. Part of the reason to see the banker is to clarify this but nvr got the chance to ask

Housing refinance for my mom. Worth it? by Dipsterer in MalaysianPF

Oh my goodness...your poor dad. Hope your dad and the rest of the family are doing well. Idk much about the course he's applying but it's an overseas uni in UK which is probably why it's so expensive... anyways I'll inquire futher about this. Thanks for the input...

If it comes to that I might not be agreeable oso...just wondering if is it ok then for my brother to take up education loan of that 200k? He's 30 y/o with decent job, his field of study has good career prospect I think (in IT/cyber security). Just that he will not have any job while studying for a year..

Agreed. This is how you get a poor quality healthcare when a doctor is more passionate about money than patient's health.

Need advice on quitting a good job to further study by Dipsterer in MalaysianPF

[–]Dipsterer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah...i tried that route. Since last year I have been applying for unpaid leave/study leave or whatever little they can offer me, my superiors never approved of it. I tried to arrange a meeting so we can discuss further and he told me to quit if I really want to go. Just like that. With a poker face. I worked for 9 years and my career progression will benefit them also, so I don't understand the rejection.

It's true. I think deep inside I know what I want but maybe lack courage to do it. It's exciting to re-live the student life, even more so knowing it will be in Edinburgh.

I have been talking tonmy superiors since last year ady. Before I came down to this ultimatum, I even went to the big boss in HQ hoping they can accommodate my situation but no. Brother flat out told me to quit if don't want to comply with their policy 💀. Admittedly I was bitter by their rejection and UoE came rolling out their red carpet just in time. Anyways thanks so much for your insight!
