this is really a huge advantage to me.. nowadays sg guys come out from uni at age ard 25... only 5 yrs to achieve something b4 30... they can only mostly concentrate on 1 or 2 speciality while i have more yrs to get wider exposure.. n in nowadays working environment, having wider experience means more xtra stability.... if 1 fail, can tap on the other 1 in another environment....

I think it really varies from person to person and what kind of degree as well. DL degree from SIM still 3 years. One year difference not much of an advantage. Furthermore, your degree was in engineering. Not sure if you're still in that line or not, but engineers are always in demand although the work is not glamorous and the math/phy needed is quite tough. hence, that line confirm can still get quite a high pay.
