at my age (late 30s) some jobs like signing on army are out of the question although i would kill my own mother for the opportunity
since its coming to a year of unemployment, if you were in my shoes, would you:
a) take an engineering or IT degree from any of the pte unis (since i have 'wasted' my chance on an fass degree)
b) continue applying for jobs and hope for a miracle
c) join the blue collar workforce (eg. lorry driver) |
it's precisely because fass grads have a hard time finding jobs hence the overload of supply and job applications resulting in the stiff competition for admin/generalist roles.
instead of wasting time on getting another degree, i suggest you concentrate on self-upgrading AND continue applying for jobs. Go sign yourself up for some short online courses in the hot industries (tech) and this shld give you an edge above the rest. Employers these days value a diverse skill set.
