Make an effort, and it will pay off. Especially if you want to be in management.
holy, that was harsh. really.

cases like this, usually i'd refute.

but since you've alr expressed how repulsive my language is, i'll accept defeat.

but hey, it's constructive right!?

alright time to dive into ''dem'' books yo will then get back to you in a couple months' time to further seek for your evaluation!

find the jobs that match your skills, interests and attitude. progress will come to you.
do not find job for the money or progress, you will feel miserable.
thank you for the piece of advise.
i believe that ''outplay'' comes after ''outwork''.

also, recently i found out that the dropout rate for first year uol students is plus minus 50%?
does anyone has any comment on that?

cheers!

there's a limit to how things can be outsourced offshore. for time-sensitive operations, or adhering to local regulatory requirements, like approving local applications, you still need local personnel to be responsible. if your job do get outsourced, time to move on to better ones.

The offshoring trend is actually reversing in some countries. Not sure about Singapore.

Unregistered Frankly speaking, here's how it goes in life.

Reputable Uni > Class of Honors > Degree type

Harvard Grad (Average Honors) > NUS (First Class) > Banking & Finance > Arts

Of which, I will say that the degree type doesn't matter so much. Between the two that you're looking at, it definitely doesn't matter all that much. Just strive to do as well as you can.
