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.
What about arts and social sciences?

Why are you choosing all these technical degree programmes? Do you think you can do well?

You now have the benefit of internet and google to do a thorough research on the prospects of various degrees, already much luckier than many of your older seniors who only had TV, Straits Times and hearsay to rely on.
