So what if he is just a dip holder. If he keep on learning, taking on courses, clinching deals, then he brings more value.

“Why work so hard to get a degree?” It just gives you a head start in early career. Degree is not hard anyway. Dean’s lister here lol. You think get degree already then set for life and no need to work hard and continue learning? Lol

Heard of tortoise and the hare?

Anyway you loser la. Got headstart still lose. Resign is good. Good riddance of you jiak liao bee entitled
Well said, sir. Poster from post #37 too the same mindset. Probably work in ST Engineering or similar environment as I saw such kind of posts many years back. No degree means no promotion. I don't care how much you value add, bring profit to the company. No degree means nothing. Otherwise, why i spend money and time to get a degree.

This kind of mentality is freaking useless in a competitive workforce environment.

Company A getting higher profit margin than Company B due to better product and services offered as an example.

Specialized certificates for the work role / industry you are in is a much better way to go.

If you dont have a degree or diploma but have a specialized cert in the role you are applying. You should be able to perform with the knowledge that you have. Constant self improving ain't easy but worth in the long run. Unless you want to go for a retirement mode. Stagnant income and lack ambitions.

Thank you.

Confirmation after probation period

Suppose if you join a job with 3 month probation period, after 3 months, if the HR never mention anything about confirmation, can we directly ask the HR about the status of our probation?

Or is it a big no-no to ask the HR about probation? Will it create a bad impression of ourselves if we ask the HR about it?

Thank you.

Unregistered Sad but degrees are getting useless since almost everyone has one. That's not even counting how foreigners have degrees AND years of experience while being the same age as you.

Why not? Then why do you take a degree? For show only?

I agree with you.
If any diploma or ITE holder can promote faster than a degree holder, what is the point of spending so many years taking my degree?
Work performance should never surpass the degree. If you don't have a degree then nothing you do should make a difference. Nowadays degree is so easy to take. These people should stop being so lazy.
