no difference from a diploma grad.

I am drawing $3k per month as a fresh grad under UOL. I don't think a fresh grad diploma holder get that kind of pay.

Yup! Degree classifications matters only in Govt Sector. And if you are a fresh graduate from SIM, without any job experience, most probably you will not be shortlisted if you apply for govt/stat board.

Unless you have intern experience, or did well. My friend did part time studying and worked at HSBC for 1 year (in his final year).

Upon graduation, he managed to secure a job in Temasek Holdings as data analyst. [Frankly speaking, I was quite shock as well. He didn't pull string or anything. FYI, he didn't graduate with FCH or 2nd Upper.]

Don't get too proud because you graduate with a degree. Almost everyone now is a degree holder.

Don't be upset, when people are putting you down because you are holding a private degree.

No point arguing if private degree is better than or local degree is better.

Gain your experience where ever you are, and have your own goal and target in your life. Achieve it and be happy about it. Degree is just a paper for your stepping stone. After that will be how you perform and execute your job. No point comparing whose degree is better or not.

I have friends who graduated from local unis and are having difficulty finding jobs. Not just private degree holders only.

The life that we are living is for our own, and not for comparing with each other and make oneself miserable. Achieve what you want in your life and be happy and grateful.

Chill guys.

I graduated in 2009 from UOL,worked for 2 and a half years at 2.5k-3.2k went on to do a masters from LSE with my 2:1 qualification now I'm earning 5k having only 2 1/2 years of experience.Am I in a good position?

These are outliers. Nobody said that these stories are representative of the average SIM student.

Same goes for local uni students as well right? There are outliers as well.

Just chill man guys.

Im proudly from SIM, Clementi. Typical local Uni grads only know how to whine and complain when we, private unis undergraduate, beat them to the career game cause they think they are ''oh so great'' and deserve to be on a pedestal while everyone kowtow to them.

I'm 3 years into my career with a second upper and I'm in the 80% - 90% percentile income group of my peers who are around my age. Eat this, delusional local unis fools.
