I will be practical here; my A level grades are far from ideal, I only managed to get ACC/C, so the courses I'm considering are :
NTU Mateuals Science and Engineering
NUS Civil Engineering
NUS Engineering
NUS Archiecture
NTU Civil Engineering
To be frank, I dont have any interest in any particular course, as I have yet to really exposed to the course yet( not sure if I'm the only one). But I'm more inclined towards civil engineering as it's quite broad and open to private and govt sectors as well. But I'm quite disheartened after reading on https://forums.salary.sg/education-pe...take-exam.html .
People I asked around always say go where your passion lies, but to me i feel that the market for industry as well as future prospects is more important. Pardon and correct me if I'm wrong. |
It's easy to give an answer for this one; the engineering industry doesn't pay well generally speaking. Having said that many engineers do not practise engineering and they can still gain entry into other industries. This is subject to of course, their grades and the interview. I think what you need to think more about is your aptitude. Although ACC can still get you into an engineering course, I wonder if you can make 2 1. Many pp I know have no aptitude for technical work and they chose engineering only because that's what the masses are doing. They hated all the engineering modules. I wondered if they knew what they were getting into in the first place.
