So, I'm trying to source for the 2nd best alternatives even though it's a pity & regret to give up NTU offer...
I was actually thinking of joining stat board/ministry as executive or MSO with my
Diploma (business dip, GPA 3.85), while pursuing UniSIM degree as part-time.
And eventually, hoping to jump to MX scheme after getting a degree.
Just want to know, are the chances high of converting to MX after graduating from unisim? If not, is it easy to job hop and reapply to other stat board/ministries with the UniSIM degree?
Appreciates all advice or alternatives from everyone.
TIA! |
Hi, I don't know how tight your finances are but just want to share my perspective to hopefully convince you not to give up your degree. I am also a
NTU Business graduate and took a 90% bank loan while paying the other 10% by draining my edusave account. Needless to say I had no exchange program, no partys, no grad trip. I had to support myself and worked part time during holidays and off days at school and things got better after my 2nd year in uni because I managed to convince my internship boss to offer me a part time job paying $100 a day (which is a lot for a poor student back then!) and I had the chance to incorporate that experience into my resume.
Fast forward two years and now I have graduated and drawing $4xxx a month and paid off my school fees already. All these would not have been possible had I not enrolled into an undergraduate program. don't give ip your opportunity. think ahead.
