Business Degrees Not In Demand Anymore
The mainstream media is apparently telling us that business degrees are no longer in demand. We are told a law degree can command a salary as high as $8,500 while arts and science courses are getting popular now.

At a dialogue session with Gan Kim Yong, a participant asked: "As a fresh grad, do I really have to accept a blue-collar job? And if so, will it affect my application for PMET position after the crisis?"
Gan's answer suggests grads should take up blue collar jobs. Read at http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews...1/.html |

the 8.5k is clearly a one-off in this kind of market. the top 4 local law firms are only offering 4k now. even less at smaller law firms. and with the influx from the graduating batch of smu law students, expect salaries to be even more depressed.
the demand just isn't there now... not only for business grads. |

tom, 4k is still a lot for the hundreds of jobless biz grads waiting to become blue collar workers.

That law firm that gave $8.5 K is kinda illogical.
Firstly, if it is true that top law firms are giving 4K...then its really ridiculous that a firm will pay more than twice ... Unless this girl is really special and twice as efficient as those hired by the top 4 law firms. Sorry speaking from a return on investment view point |

The 4k is only for those that are retained. There is a significant increase in law grads not retained after their pupillage this year.

Gan Kim Yong is good man. He gave up his dream job - teaching & become minister.

Hi Lawyer,
Significant increase in law grads not retained after their pupillage? Does this mean they are sort of fired? Where do they go? SGDividends |

good man, you goon. he's an oms scholar who went to cambridge, became an elite 'AO' civil servant upon graduation, and went on smooth sailingly to be natsteel ceo before joining politics. the teacher guy is another senior-level minister, you goon.

Despite of what the mainstream media is saying, it is still worthwhile to take business degrees. The current downturn is affecting all sectors including the financial sectors. By the time you completed your business degree, the economy would have recovered by then. Singapore is a financial hub in this region and I don't see why business degrees are a lousy bet.
