oh no.. now i'm back to square one.. confused and unsure once again..Originally posted by 798:passion also might die one day. -
anyway u still young, make mistake can choose the other opinion n start all over again.Originally posted by InV-:oh no.. now i'm back to square one.. confused and unsure once again..
the governments are encouraging singaporeans to further education, but it's irony dat there are too many degree holders in sg fighting jobs wif the foreigners. -
i think poly is harder in the sense that u have 30+ modules to complete and u need to consistently maintain ur grade in every module every semester in order to graduate well... even in every module it can be made up of projects, tests and exams and u need to do well in each component
jc is probably easier to manage cos if u're enough of a mugger u can play for the first year and work very hard the 2nd year cos the only exam that determines ur grade is the A levels
i think if u believe that u have the quality to enter uni then go for poly.... cos wat u learn in poly builds a very strong foundation for ur studies in uni
i'm not sure about the course of ur choice... i'm a biz student from poly now in uni and i found this to be very true... the first and even 2nd yr in uni feels like a refresher course which goes a long way in strengthening basic concepts and helps u understand the harder topics easier
one thing u may have to note is that it is much harder for poly students to apply for uni scholarships than for jc students... seems that more scholarships are available to jc students... at least during my time

Yep, really is an irony.. if only life was made simpler.. lesser wants, lesser demands and more happiness.Originally posted by 798:anyway u still young, make mistake can choose the other opinion n start all over again.

for diploma i suppose this will be like those tourism and hospitality or service mgmt specializations under business studiesOriginally posted by InV-:I have a question. If i were to be taking resort management(F&B related) courses, which local uni offers similar courses for a degree??
degree not too sure.... but got a feeling they'll prob open up new majors in these areas in view of the upcoming IRs -
yah seen her around in sch before.... really beri got characterOriginally posted by 798:carin so power! study in smu, dat jade seah also from smu, have u seen her before?

OK. thanks a lot. so i presume the uni that offers business studies would be SMU??Originally posted by cAr|n:for diploma i suppose this will be like those tourism and hospitality or service mgmt specializations under business studies

smu offers a business course with several majors to choose fromOriginally posted by InV-:OK. thanks a lot. so i presume the uni that offers business studies would be SMU??
i think ntu and nus also have business schools
there's a book, career guide 2007, that i saw in popular... may be helpful for u identify areas where u're interested in and look at the education path towards ur desired career.... can take a look
surf thru the websites of the polys and unis also to see wat courses are offered lor.... don't make a wrong choice and all the best! -
stomp has a smiliar thread 99.9% of the replys there is "go JC"
reason = easier go uni,then degree earn more money then diploma..

hmm... easier to go uni doesn't mean easy to get into the course of ur choice as well... especially for courses with very high cut-off points e.g medicine, law, etc
if end up in a course that u're not interested in lagi worse... that's why if go poly at least u got a relevant diploma to fall back on... of course this is a very conservative view lah -
she's quite tall but i feel she is those mama gal, met her wif her mum before.Originally posted by cAr|n:yah seen her around in sch before.... really beri got character

Note JC is the best road for singaporeans to go U. Poly got too many ppl fighting for top 3%. And it really makes u look so weak and small in a hall of 200-300 ppl. -
