Hello everyone, I have a place in
NUS's mech eng. There are many things on my mind that I wish to get opinions for.
After reading the threads here, it seems, in general, engineers are underappreciated and underpaid. Given that I'm in
NS at the moment, I have intentions to retake my A levels to qualify for harder-to-get-in courses such as B A, accountancy. Then again, will such a degree be more valuable?
People say that a mech eng degree is rather flexible. Which industries can they be employed besides the financial sector? Will a 2nd upper do?
Does a mech eng degree offer a decent level of financial upward mobility? Can any kind soul hit me with the facts and figures?
I heard that a private candidate of the local GCSE A levels will not be subjected to the same moderation that local JCs get. Hence the former's certificate is not as recognised/valued. Is it true?
Comments are highly appreciated. Thank you!
