Wow! great to see so many different views.... as a former civil servant I also understand CEP. CEP is really dependent on bosses and may differ year to year...anyway the reason why I am considering MTI is becoz I feel that I would have an advantage as I intend to do my Phd at NTU(RSIS) ...probably will do research in political economics. Being in MTI would help me in my thesis and data collection.
or continue in the private sector and give up on the Phd... what you guys think?
BTW any chance of getting a scholarship from MTI or any government dept ( draw normal salary plus study fulltime) with bond of course.. my family not too well to do. Advice needed here. |
Why did you leave CS in the first place? Would be easier had you remain at your previous ministry. Postgrad sponsorship usually requires at least 5 years of good performance (
MOE started this scheme). Some of my colleagues went for full-time MSc sponsorship (must be relevant to specific jobs) in both local and overseas uni. On average, they've been ~10 years of service. So far, never heard of 3-5 years of PhD sponsorship yet.
