Future dilema...

[Ethene]

Am sure many here are experienced and hope to get more tips on the current market now

 

With a diploma in IT, should one:

 

1) continue for a IT related degree OR

2) go into banking/finance degree

 

option 1 seems more logical but feels that IT industry really tan boh jia leh...

was actually thinking of getting a job in bank sector.

 

Hope professionals or lao jiao from both fields give some solid suggestions

My bet would be Banking/finance degree.

 

IT will be saturated with over-supply of FTs from India.

Pay will not be so good.

 

With knowledge acquired from Banking/finance degree, you could manage your own money and invest wisely. It's a life-long skill.

Go on the path of where your interest and passion lies..

 

if money is your only goal, then sadly, you will be disappointed when you 1st started out and find that it doesn't meet your target.

 

IT is the way to go for everything, it will be everything in your everyday's life.

Bank/Fin is old money that is always in need. but then, not many will make it, so is IT.

 

so back to my 1st line.

FTs from india are doing low end IT services, but of coz, there's those that are here to manage project. but then, which industry is not swamp with FT? Even Banking are flush with such people that have been called in to tap into their country..

 

IT have evolved from science to arts, so not FT can grasp this.

During my Poly days, people are very eager to go into IT coz everyone think Spore is going to be very IT based

 

Now banking are more popular..

Who knows?

Few years later, another forummer post "Regret taking banking degree..Any advice?"

 

I think its more like "U see me good I see U good"

Take a banking/finance degree. Even if you go for a IT degree, if it's not from a prestigious uni you are back to square one.

Why everyone is rushing into the banking sector and thinks that its the best? What abt ur dreams?

[Ethene]

Thanks all for the very useful inputs.

I personally wants to be in the banking sector. The IT side is too saturated man. Is that really true?
