  Hi ppl, hope u guys (n gals) can give me some advice on which uni to go to (NTU vs NUS)
  
  I'm a graduate of TP... got a diploma in communications & media management (aka mass comm).. I'm already accepted by NTU school of information & communication to study Communication Studies (and if i get in, i'll most prob get some subject exemptions and graduate in 3 yrs time instead of the usual 4 yrs)
  
  I also applied for NUS arts & social science, intending 2 major in English Language (like phonetics, semantics blabla stuff like that). This 1 will take 4 yrs. Status: processing
  
  I hope to work in the govt sector after i guaduate, probably as an defence executive officer (DXO) in mindef, or sign on airforce to be a weapon systems officer (ok, i know both degrees are irrelevant for this la)
  
  Which degree has better career prospects for my case? (i don't really intend 2 work in the media industry.. too fast paced for my liking)
