  Hiez..
  
  I'm planning to take a degree after my dip at sp biz school..
  But i also intend to go into air crew straight after my sp dip..
  
  Therefore those standard night classes courses are out for me.. I need to find sumthing that is suitable for the inconsistent air crew time table.. NUS and NTU full time studies are also not my cup of tea..
  
  I'm looking for a "PART TIME"/"Online"/"At-your-own-speed" DEGREE on SUPPLY CHAIN or HOSPITALITY..
  
  Whereby i can FLY in aircrew while i study at my own speed over the internet when i'm in the hotel rooms..back in SG..etc..
  
  Any ideas or suggestions or universities to recommend?
  
  Which universities are recognised for ONLINE studies for a recognised DEGREE?

  A cabin crew friend of mine with SIA did exactly just that. She had to squeeze out time in between travel and studies that it stressed her out. She gave up on it, because it simply was too much. Last I heard, she didn't renew her contract with SIA.

  Currently i have a classmate, she is a stewardess with SIA. And this is her last term in the MBA course. Somehow she managed to squeeze time out to study, attend the exams, do her assignments, attend classes, etc. I guess it's time management.

  She didn't really want the job with SIA. The gratuity awarded after her contract was quite a steal.

  Next time you board an SIA flight, make sure they get what they're worth.

  You shouldn't be studying when you are a "fresh" stewardess. My friend, who's contract is ending coming June, did her studying about 2~3 years into her contract, ie last 2 years of her SIA flying contract. She said that the first few years are quite busy but when you get "older" you'll have more time to study. Currently, she's flying about 1~2 times a month and each is less than week.

  Bristish airways is has attractive renumeration because they pay in pounds, but theier interviews for cabin crews only come once in a blue moon.
  
  As for emirates, they are based in Dubai, they pay in US dollars but you're gonna be based in dubai and serve about a year first flying internally within the arab regions.
  
  So the pay all boils down to the compromises one is willing to make.
