Maybe it's somewhat unfair to equate education/experience with a topic as simplistic as swimming. If youÂ’re asked to choose a swimming safety guard, and 2 guys come in, whom will you choose?
First guy: Have experience in swimming, swim once a week at least for the last 5 years but donÂ’t really know much on the factual things about swimming.
Second guy: Read all the books about swimming, all the history about it, and the names of the best swimmers in the world, but unfortunately never swim before.
Second case, whom do you think will be a better successor to take over your business?
First guy: Have managed and lead 10 different companies from MNCs to GLCs before, but was previously a drop out because no interest in schooling.
Second guy: Has a Ph.D. in business studies, but has never manage or lead a business before.
IÂ’m posing these questions because I believe paper qualifications are overrated. -
when there is a will, there is a way! just want to let those from ite know even if there are some who look down on you, you must prove them wrong.
the route you took is the hard way but you definitely will become a stronger person.

Allright!! Gd to see positiveness here abt ITE grads. Many who enter have been wayward students but it's precisely because of this, they kick themselves to do better down the road.
This is fresh air! ....as compared to the naysayers who posted in this thread http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=196283. Chief culprits are Codename4 and UberMagicSeller among others. -

Hehe that's coolOriginally posted by HENG@:bring tour groups to Europe.

Too much emphasis has been put on paper qualifications and using it to measure a worker's competence & success.
The fact is in this day and age of job insecurity, outsourcing and intense cost cutting, and when the job market is saturated with similarly paper-qualified people, having a skill and being able to live off it is very useful and may provide a more stable career in the long-term. -
its more than cool. its freakin awesome. i damn envy him. he's toured most major european cities already, and he's bein paid to do so.Originally posted by choco B:Hehe that's cool -

Aiya, take my hubby for example. He went to ITE and then furthered his studies. Not taken his degree yet but he is earning more than me -

NTC-2 and above, preferable ITC, may be used for Employment Pass/PR application for nations like Australia and USA.
It should be equivalent to the Aussie TAFE diploma, but you need to ensure that your skill has a certification board over there, and that you meet the Qualifying English Test.
*Not many ITE graduates, especially those from the automotive repair and airconditioning sectors realise that they can actually work abroad in those places. [/quote

being better educated doesnt necessary make you a more successful person...

It's all about destiny.Originally posted by GHoST_18:being better educated doesnt necessary make you a more successful person... -
On a serious note,ppl tend to make ITE e butt of their jokes (i admit,i have done dat be4)
i feel PPl land up ITE cos of a poor family background or r jus to playful( may have to work to support themselves) rather then dey are dumb.
So if they are willing to work hard ,they will succeed.

There're also people whose destiny is that no matter how hard they work, their careers still go nowhere one.Originally posted by Chelzea:On a serious note,ppl tend to make ITE e butt of their jokes (i admit,i have done dat be4) i feel PPl land up ITE cos of a poor family background or r jus to playful( may have to work to support themselves) rather then dey are dumb.

Actually ITE (technical)r more recognised oversea as it is more hands-on based than theory based.
In 2day world, pple wanna see how good ur practical skill are rather than ur 'bull shit' skill. -
NATO is very prevalent in public sector. Tat is why ITE graduates seldom have a chance to shine cuz education qualification is held like the sacred wand of power to ensure you have the first and foremost criteria to join and rise up their league of powerOriginally posted by tortoise55:1st case, is the 1st guy, cos what i wan is a guy who can swim.

Where are all the ITE-haters?

Agree totally. But if you are a scholar u are so much better off in the public sector cuz basically your career path are planned for you and unless you break law and drop into police case, you are virtually guaranteed an almost life-time of job stability and MONEY!!!!Originally posted by choco B:Too much emphasis has been put on paper qualifications and using it to measure a worker's competence & success.

Can you imagine a 30+ years old guy assuming some SUPER high position management position without even battling for it? Maybe there is a battle but I would rather call it a skirmish than a real battle. -
y go listen to the rumours.. aiyooo...Originally posted by kailun:I was in ITE taking up Certificate in Office Skills(COS) and suppose to continue my studies for Certificate in Business Studies(CBS) but due to the rumors of ITE has no future, I decided just to complete my COS and get a diploma in private school. Connected with the forums, do you mind how others think of you as I do mind during my school days and that's the result of my current state.
True facts: My friend who got a CBS cert only, her salary is higher than me right now.
I learnt a lesson, do not take the rumors and choose what is right for you.
About myself,
ITE grads, got a diploma 2 years ago. Tentatively planning for a degree.
If u do well in CBS u can get into local poly..
unless ur results no gd then can go try SIM.
but then the SIM diploma and a local poly diploma really got difference. -
correct!Originally posted by GHoST_18:being better educated doesnt necessary make you a more successful person...
but if u wana be a worker and not a boss, it's v realistic de, ple look at ur qualifications. -
electronics engineering now can branch out to programming, issit true?
-
Every discipline also can branch out but it depend if you are capable to excel in the new discipline well. Of cuz for some discipline you need qualification but at least for IT there is no professional body to get certified so if you tink you can do programming, you are very much welcomedOriginally posted by The man who was death:electronics engineering now can branch out to programming, issit true?
