About Yee Shun-Jian
Yee Shun-Jian believes adamantly that there is but little correlation between academic achievements and personal/financial success.
Shun-Jian should know – after all, he graduated with a Bachelor of Computing (2nd Upper Honours) from one of the Top 20 Universities in the World (National University of Singapore), where he majored in Information Systems and minored in Technopreneurship.
But those credentials were not what landed Shun-Jian his first full-time job as a Corporate Communications Executive in a multinational corporation.
And they certainly did not prepare him for the real education in the school of hard knocks!
When his first girlfriend of more than 2.5 years left him, barely 3 months after he started work, it was a wake-up call.
“You spend 3/4 of your waking hours at work!” her words still rang clearly in his head.
Shun-Jian realized that unwittingly, like most people he knew, he had allowed himself to be caught up in the rat race. He had become a money making machine… for someone else! Formal education had prepared him to be an employee, trading time for money.

About RichGrad.com
The idea for RichGrad.com was conceived when Shun-Jian was taking a shower (aren't all great ideas born this way?) He started thinking about the people around him – Bright, young Fresh Graduates lamenting about their first jobs, Highly Educated Executives trapped in the ranks of Middle Management… what do all of them have in common?
They all want a better quality of life!
RichGrad.com is about helping these people and more to create a richer life, because what's the point of having good grades in school if you suck at life? It is also about one man's journey of self-discovery and the lessons learnt along the way.
So what are you waiting for?
