That being said, there is an SIM Graduate who took a contract job at our company and eventually got converted. I would say the hardest part is getting in but once you do work hard to show that you can do well in a working environment then paper qualifications don’t matter any more.

But you have to be honest and say that if everything else is equal, local uni grad > private U. It’s just a sad truth, butnplay with the cards you’re dealt with

Yes. Cold honest truth but SIMGE people don't seem willing to take the red pill.

You are wrong. I chose to study in SIM because I want to be street smart which is an important asset lacking in kids from NUS and NTU! I got $3700 without a honours with my SIM degree due to my street smartness! Fxxk NUS.

Wait does SIM teach you to be street smart? Wow!
