5 yrs + 1 yr of understudyOriginally posted by xiaoxui:how abt medical course. how many years of studies required?
How old will they be when they graduate (inclusive NS)? 25 yrs old?Originally posted by eagle:5 yrs + 1 yr of understudy
then u serve govt bond, dunno how many years....
Students have not much semester breaks. Breaks for guys are time for reservist.
Students in the medical course are extremely competitive. Personalities of many changed over the course. They become more wary and careful when interacting with others.
Doctors have not much time, especially when working in a hospital. You have to be ready 24/7.
Doctors have to be continuously updated about the latest medicine, more so than any other occupation.
And if you make any major wrong diagnosis, your license may get revoked.
for those lucky ones, they get to defer NS, go study firstOriginally posted by xiaoxui:How old will they be when they graduate (inclusive NS)? 25 yrs old?
Arigato gozaimasu thank youOriginally posted by eagle:for those lucky ones, they get to defer NS, go study first

I want to mix economics with either law or business. I think having two degrees makes you very employable since you have multi-disciplinary knowledge. But planning to take an MBA after I get some work experience and an NUS degree.Originally posted by noopi:you got a degree in economics why u wanna do another degree?
u can go for MBA oredi...
Hmm... 3 As huh.. Yeah, Business is quite competitive too. It's where the money is.Originally posted by sngyze:For my batch (2005 "A" levels), you needed three As to be called up for the law interview. I'm not sure about Biz Ad but a friend who got BBBC failed to get in.
I doubt they will consider your degree. If it was a rigorous degree from a respectable university, you wouldn't need to do undergrad studies in NUS. If it isn't, then there's really no reason for them to consider it at all. I'm guessing yours was a degree done over the internet?
Medicine graduates from NUS who are Singaporeans will serve a 5 year bond (6 for singapore PR and foreigners) excluding their one year housemanship, all these on top of the 2 years (or 1 year 10 mths) of NS. Failure to fulfil the bond will result in liquidated damages amounting to SGD 346k for Singaporeans and Singapore PR, and SGD 434k for foreigners.Originally posted by eagle:for those lucky ones, they get to defer NS, go study first

I am serving my national service in civil defense. I'm 22, and in case you guys don't know, I'm a Permanent Resident.Originally posted by CoolMyth:How old is TS?![]()
First of all, you're highly contradictory too.Originally posted by rmyfrm:No offence alright TS - but I think you're an absolute loser. You are the very kind of guy that girls stay away from - so old already no career, with retarded thoughts about going back to school; it is highly contradictory to what you assert - that you chase the dollar.
You've got to be pretty old; given the way you speak, and the fact you have already finished your undergraduate studies.
I know many people with external degrees (offshore) who have gone on to really successful careers.
Provided you ace your interview (not some beng beng lian lian who can't speak proper, fluent English etc.), your econs degree will take you places - private banker (relationship managers), even managerial positions. R'ship managers have a decent base, + the potential for alot of commission - not uncommon for the successful ones to make $8k/mth; provided you are driven, and ambitious enough ... but looking at the way you are, probably not.
If you siad you wanted to do an MBA, that would at least make sense to me, because you're moving one level up, and building upon your degree. Even then, going full time ... you must either be a spoilt rich kid, or grossly successful in the first quarter of your life and thus, able to take a break to pursue further studies.
Thanks Ashearo and the rest of you guys for your advise!Originally posted by Ashearo:rmyfrm I think that was really immature and unfair to the TS.
Anyway to the TS, you should apply under category E then. If they call you up for interview you better be prepared. And you should have a nice portfolio which includes things other than academic results. Good luck.
