So many people in NTU & NUS, they eat grass if SIM also chap one leg. Now somemore in Changi coming an foreign challenger, UNSW. all the more, no fight lah.
Anyway, SIM offers mostly arts & mgmt degrees, many private organizations still can accept lah, unless that interviewer stick stamp on the eyes and only see NTU & NUS up.
BTW, SIM degrees also degree what, so no need to frown about it. Civil Services also no IRON RICE BOWL alreadi.
Precisely. There is actually no big deal about working in the civil service. I think what matter most is the money and recognition.
For example:
SIM grad probably gained employment in the private sector and got promoted rapidly to some regional director in a big firm based on his/her capabilities.
And another NTU/NUS grad worked in the civil service and got promoted to a grade B officer after a while too.
So which do you think people will look upon as being more successful?
Do you know that private sector is paying better than the civil service at the end of the day?
