Suggestions for part-time courses
-
just curious, but i checked out MDIS, PSB Academy etc. and the course they offer is always the same types, like:
1) Accounting
2) Computer Science / Engineering
3) Business Computing
4) Business Management
5) Some misc life science courses
got anything more interesting than these courses?! like u know, other less well-known but still practical courses.
i'm planning to study to upgrade myself cos' i don't wanna be farking admin asst with no life. nowadays when people ask me what's my job position, i don't even dare to say.
but with such a boring choice of courses, well.......

It depends where your interests lies.
You can always try Shatec if you are interested in Culinary Arts ( though I highly doubt you are ), and you can't say it is not practical to be able to cook well.
This is an example of a guy who is seriously going after his dream and interest : http://www.sgforums.com/forums/12/topics/369057

Other than what you have listed, those interesting courses, you might want to go overseas to take.
Just curious, what job position will you feel proud of when people ask you ?

i'm trying to aim for at least exec-level position in future.because i see all my colleagues improving and now they're getting SIM's Bachelor in HRM and all i have is toilet paper Marketing diploma crap from MDIS.
nowadays, most SGreans are execs and above liao. if i don't keep up, really will lag behind.
if u see around, u'll find that almost all singaporeans are accountants, engineers, or belong to the PMET group (PMET = Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians).
nowadays, the only admin assts are mainly those malay aunties or chinese aunties in their 40 - 50s.....i now 25 yrs old man don't wanna end up in that fate.

btw, is there a common name for those "skill courses"?
as in, like, those carpentry, hairstyling etc., which requires the use of hands and not those "soft skills" like business management / finance etc.
i'm also trying to research into that area but not sure if got a general name for those.

How come what course you want to take you also have to ask people?
Does that mean you dont know what you want?
If i said music course or arts course leh? These are very interesting courses, but i doubt will suit you.Define interesting?

those mass comms jobs sounds good lah, but i not sure if this subject is suitable for me.
is it mass comms people must be super-extrovert, those zouk-out, wild-party, frat-parties type?
the other option i'm considering is those digital media / design / animation area.
