I think some forumners are still living in their own world, thinking that only local unis will let you have a good future and you will end up in misery and jobless if you go to a private uni.
Many students who don't do well nowadays are opting to go overseas - to some shady unis where they party all day and still pass. They go there simply cause they can afford it. why should their degree be any superior than private unis here? You think employers are that stupid? Will they be impressed when you tell them u grad from overseas? just a quick check on your poly results or A levels will make them understand that you're lousy and depend on your parent's wealth to match up to others
There are many private grads working in banking sector and it doesn't mean that govt don't hire private uni grads. I know many UOL part time students in govt sectors.
I gave up local uni because I was offered courses I don't like, and i am happy that I took a private degree because it is directly relevant to the industry i want to be in.
I'm earning 3.9K at age 26. I don't think that's too bad for a private grad right?

You won't know your interests until you've tried. A practical way is to enter local polytechnics, complete 2 years of studies and get good results.
Pros:
1) You can try out the course and see whether you like it. If don't like, you still have 2nd chance on deciding your eventual uni course.
2) With good poly results (i.e. merit), you can enter a reputable local uni and the course of your choice.
This comes with a risk: what if you don't do well in poly? Being more mature and articulate than most fresh "O" level (due to your JC training), you do have an edge over them. Put in effort and get a diploma with merit (i.e. top 5% of the cohort).
p/s During poly, try to find as much internship opportunities. It'll create job opportunities, exposure and the network that will prove invaluable in your latter life.

I echo that. I did my degree part-time at SIM.
I'm 26 and drawing 5k basic in financial services.
Let me know which nursing or engineering grad draws that amount at 26. I would admit, for a more holistic education, the local unis win hands down.
But sometimes, you'll have to weigh the costs vs. benefits.
