Is investing your money in paper qualifications more rewarding than investing it in property?
At least one popular Chinese blogger seems to think so.
The pretty and petite lass posted photos of herself surrounded by her many diplomas and certificates, and her post was picked up by an online Chinese paper.
In one picture, she posed with a piece of paper, on which she wrote her personal motto: "Seeking diplomas is better than speculating in property. The worship of knowledge exceeds that of money".

The Internet celebrity has claimed she gradated from Peking University and earned dozens of certificates including a CET(College English Test), NCRE(National Computer Rank Examination), lawyer and accounting qualifications, CCNP(Cisco Certified Network Professional), CCIE(Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert) and CFA(Chartered Financial Analyst).
Nicknamed the "certificate girl" by a website, the blogger explained that she earned all her diplomas in a bid to master skills to make a good living, and "looks down on those who complain about not earning enough money or those who try to get money from others instead of working for it themselves".
With her qualifications, "certificate girl" says she can easily earn at least 7,000 yuan (S$1,397) a month.
