You already have a degree, no point wasting time buying another soft skill generic degree, waste of time & money.


Unless you wanna work in social service, dun waste time on these things. A normal employer in pte sector won't care about such 'CCA'.

I dunno, student care sounds like just another typical admin based corporate work. As per advice #1, just apply if you see it. Law of large numbers.

As for managerial role, haha I predict you will struggle even to get normal corporate exec work, now is not the time to fantasize about becoming a manager.
One of my purpose in creating this thread was to seek suggestions on how I can value-add (perhaps a part-time degree?) with a general psych degree after I've gained a better employment elsewhere. I'm not looking for courses that are general. 2 general degrees, like what you've mentioned = waste time & money.


I actually feel conflicted, because I have a genuine interest (passion) in the helping profession but there's a need to pursue a career that offers prospects & decent pay (reality). Passion vs Reality in this case.
