3rd Class Honours
-
Do you think that doing honours in any university is useful? this is a key question that has been bugging me since I stepped into my honours year.
Personally I feel that this 4th year has been quite stressful but still managable. But what I want to find out is how much this is an asset in job employment. Thanks

i think if 3rd class, might as well don't take.
-
if is 3rd class
might as well dun mention
2nd lower oso dun mention -
Quite a sad fact that 2nd lower and 3rd class honours are nothing honourable these days... Sadly i also fall into this range... haiz
-
nobody takes a glance at 3rd class..some dun even know it even exists
-
2nd lower is fine. a 3rd class might be a problem. but then, it's still an honours and will get you a job albiet on a lower starting pay. the rest is up to you to prove
-
To be frank....
While 3rd class is better than no honours, it's not much more than a consolation prize, really. You can still put (Hons) after your degree, but you'll be severely outclassed by the much more numerous 2nd and 1st classes when looking for a job.
If you really wanted honours, you should be aiming for 2nd upper. 2nd lower at the very least.
-
yes its true...
nowadays pple only look at 2nd upper or 1st..
see the salary diff know liao...
but then of cos.. its better than nth..
-
IMO 3rd class honours is better than a basic degree. but strive hard for 2nd if you can.
-
It's not about your degree, it's about the politics you play that gets you promotions
-
i think having an honors is a good indication that you have persevered in your academic pursuit, however it does not translate into an equal magnitude once you hop into your first job.
-
3rd class also depends on 3rd class from where.
3rd class from Yale/Harvard > 1st class from SIM
-
true luh. now employers only looking at 2nd upp and 1st class. 2nd lower and 3rd class is like a basic degree.
-
i think 3rd class Hons is better than normal degree..
