About SJ Yee
SJ Yee believes adamantly that there is but little correlation between academic achievements and personal/financial success. SJ should know - after all, he graduated with a Bachelor of Computing (2nd Upper Honours) in 2006 from one of the Top 20 Universities in the World, where he majored in Information Systems and minored in Technopreneurship. But those credentials were not what landed SJ 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 in Oct 2006, 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. SJ 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. But is there all there is to life? Surely, there is something more…
About RichGrad.com
The idea for RichGrad.com was conceived when SJ was taking a shower in May 2007 (aren’t all great ideas born this way?)

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?
Go take a shower now! A shower of personal development tips, that is…
