NTU is absolute garbage. My friend graduated 4 years ago with an Electrical/Electronic Engineering degree.
On a recent meetup we realised how sucky his life was.
Most of us thought that he was designing the next product to rival Iphone 4. Or designing the next GPS navigation system to be used in high-end cars. You know, those kick-ass stuff we see engineers do in Hollywood movies?
Instead, he told us that engineering degrees, mind you not diplomas or
ITE certs, are not VALUED in Singapore.
With a tinge of embarrassment, he told us that all he has been doing after graduation was just cutting wires, stripping wires, soldering components, pull cables, build test jigs for foreign engineers (with the same qualification),... and other jobs deemed more suited for technicians.
We tried to console him by saying at least he is earning an honest living and he still manage to get a job amidst the rising swell of foreign engineers from China, India, Myanmar, Philippines, and other asian countries.
But deep down, we hope he can do something else with his life.
Although people will try to waste your time, you can choose not to waste your time.
