Minikong 1st Gear November 18, 2010 Share November 18, 2010 (edited) a good education give u a dman solid hardstart, only u are a scholer. i deal with intern from a prestige bank, and they are paying 10k usd as thier monthly salary, and allowance is excluded :) but sadly to said, they only invest in young ppl, only when u are young, as u got great potnetial in the future, so if u pass the age of 25 and above forget it, and try to do some sales job instead. just take alook at our singapore army promotion system, and u will understand, when u are a diploma holder sign on, then take degree, u can never overtake those on scholer with the army. when u are a captain, they anyhow also ltc, even u perform well. the only way to break this cursed, is to do job like trading, sales to prove your worth and vision that books cant determine Edited November 18, 2010 by Minikong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minikong 1st Gear November 18, 2010 Share November 18, 2010 So is SIM degree good? aaa.... my personal opinion, no flamming as my job deal alot in learning and development. a grade cert to my boss is like harvard, yales, oxford b brade cert is like nus ntu smu, hongkong u these all c grade cert is like psb, sim. been influence by the garment, as u graduate from psb u got no pr, if you are a foreigner, but if u are nus, ntu, smu, they sent pr to your home, but this year change liao, they give them 1 year social visit pass to slowly find job in singapore. some of you might think, harvard, yales, u dont crap la, but to be honest, there are quite common now in singapore, as u can imagine 1 year how many of them graduate from these uni...... i handle alot of thier relocation issues in singapore, hence i know the amount of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Initial_fire82 Neutral Newbie November 18, 2010 Author Share November 18, 2010 So is SIM degree good? im confused too.. some say sim good.. some say same for all private school.. some say depends on performance at work. so the current advise is stay put and find a sale job that can earn big bucks rather than waste time study again?
