You dont need to know econs and finance to do the above.... just a biz degree will do.

I am currently doing biz mgt, and also have friends doing econs and finance.
So maybe i can briefly tell u what i understand from them and myself

biz mgt:
Lotsa theories based. Strangely hardly any foreign visit. Quite a bit of assignments, grp and individual


econs & finance:
(base what i understand when my friends share with me)
Quite a bit of calculations, ALOT of foreign visit. My friends just had full 2 weeks of rmit lecturers' lessons. Dun rem hearing them having many assigments.

The part abt econs and finance are quite true.

- 1st 3 weeks of lessons are conducted by RMIT lecturers, the rest will be conducted by local lecturers.

- quite well balanced between theory and calculations but of course, it also depends on what subjects you are talking abt.

- had only 1 project per year, one individual-based, one team-based.

IT Helpdesk. Shift work!

As for that, i guess I need to talk with my manager regarding this issue.

Yes, i understand that it is a theoritical course, that comes with projects to deal with.
Well, i have to discuss with my manager before i can take up this course first.

Ya, i do agreed that time management comes in place, will take note of that.

Thanks!

;)

hmm... I don't think its an issue for that kind of switch. Moreover, I used to study from Electronics Engineering (ITE) to Information Technology (TP), its also an industry switch.
I believed I am able to undertake that sudden change.

To me; I am someone who don't own any 'O' lvls certificates; To achieve my goals, there are ways to attain, jus a matter of time and how determine you are.

Who's in the July intake (44th intake) for part time degree in biz mgt?

What course do you specialize in?
- Human resource management
- Business Finance
- Marketing

Any Intro? If got, part time in entrepreneurship will be better!


Btw, in answering to vincentchean's reply;

Good question!

I have thought of that before, but last year I jus graduated from poly, no where to go, but still need to think how to survive, might as well get a job to cover-up my expenses hole, before i can think of switching to a more relevant job (towards to what I am pursuing), and in the meantime, gain more working experience.

Actually, in the first place, i never thought of furthering studies, until I seriously looked into today's market. Very high expectation in individuals.
High spending = pocket BIG hole = High quality living.

Sometimes do feel that I'm stuck in the bottom-neck. 'Upgrade' is all I can think now, as for now.

Slowly bah.. Now, the big headache part was; whether I am good in;
- Human resource management
- Business Finance
or
- Marketing ?

:D
