Looking at these anti-SIM comments makes me realise how lucky I was to have parents that decided to bail me out from entering SIM to study at an overseas uni.

Sure, some locals look down on overseas uni grads too, but at least with that degree, I have been able to land jobs in both the public and private sector without issue.

The world is such a harsh and biased place. Sometimes it's just down to how lucky you are rather than how good you actually are.

That said, I know at least 3 friends who went to SIM/SIM UOL who are earning a lot more than myself, with high positions in their companies. Ironically, one of them said he wouldn't hire a SIM grad himself. Even though it seems like most of them don't do well in the working world, it would still be wrong to assume that 100% of SIM grads are useless.
