The same logic can be applied to the polys. Lower calibre students, not as inclined at learning, as such the curriculum has to be tailored to match their learning capability. If you try to force material with too much depth, the students will just not get it. |

In fact, my background is worse as compared to yours. I did my undergrad of Business and IT in a private school and graduated in 2010. Then I worked for the top Singaporean university university and some governement bodies for 3 years before taking my MBA in the same private school on a part time basis and graduating this year. Well I won't say I have found my dream role but I am still paid close to 5k a month after a recent job change before graduation. It is about what you can bring on the table for your prospective employer. Degree is only half of the equation if any. To say that a private school certification is totally worthless is quite irresponsible since they are people from private schools that are also doing decently well in life too so let not look down on people from the private schools. It is just that we have to work smarter than usual. The halo around local uni grad is due to the branding and governmental support However, honestly speaking, to land into those "niche role" you mentioned like M&A, I would say it takes more than paper to be there. But don't give up. |

Private uni MBAs are WORTHLESS. Welcome to the real world. |

However, as mentioned by above poster, it's the attitude and perspective that many here have an issue with. If anything, this thread should at least serve to make people in similar positions rethinking their strategies. I'm still in the process of doing so... Anyways, most of the replies so far on this thread seem constructive (to me). This forum isn't that bad a forum to get opinions if more people contribute positively. If TS can't take the criticism (both objective and otherwise), he sholdn't post here in the first place. |

nobody is looking down on engineer (my title is System Engineer in an investment bank so go figure)... if you read through the thread...we were merely appalled by TS's perspective and almost dismissive of the skills and dedication needed for some of the higher skilled position that he desired... |

Looks like the people here who keep sayings negative things here are losers who look down on engineer. I know many engineers who are in high level jobs like investment banker, SVP, well known consultant and Director in MNC, top sales agent... To TS always stay positive and dont give up, anything is possible. Many of this people are just scared you will overtake them. |
