hello friends,
i am a 29 year old singaporean guy who is looking for some advice.
basically i was always a top student in singapore, graduating top 10% annually from age 7 till 16. from 16-23, i wasted my time, enrolling into
njc then dropping out (parents' divorce, young, didn't want to study, etc).
in
NS, i completed a distance learning university of bradford degree in business with first class honours. for the first two years, i didn't bother to study much, just aiming to pass. the last year was honours year, so i studied hard and got a first. the marks for the first 2 years were quite bad. i still feel sad looking at those results on my transcripts today.
i have been working as a management accountant (earning 3-4k plus) for the past few years.
i recently took the gre and scored 160/160, good enough to enter some ivy league universities. basically, my point is, i am intellectually capable of passing the course if i do the work.
1. i have applied for a business masters in
nus/
ntu. i hope to work as an business analyst in a bank/company after finishing that masters. is this an okay career plan?
2. if
nus/
ntu doesn't accept me, i plan to head to monash malaysia to do my masters in business or mphil in business and work as an business analyst in singapore.
i can't afford to study in the uk/aus/etc even though i probably can be admitted.
long term career is to be an analyst. backup plan is to, well, go back to being a management accountant like now.
is this feasible?
