It's just the ticket for you to enter, after that it depends on how well you perform at work and others etc. SUSS/SIM does have to work on their courses though. A few courses doesn't seem to be attuned to the industry.
#classdivides It's a new generation Z where people job-hop if they're not given what they want. From HR or company's perspective, it might be costly to constantly have to retrain employees or loss of productivity in a company with high turnover rate.
Okays ba, I was thinking more of my perspective since I worked first and I'm rather old. People look at my job first, before the degree.
I see people sweating it out on SIM confessions like saying that they are worried abt their university recognition etc.
But in my opinion, nobody even bothers to ask which degree you are from after some time. In spite of the weekly bashing, people don't connotate your stupidity to your university, stupidity is just you as an individual, mostly.
At openhouse, I remember asking once about a software that is the bare minimun of close to the industry standards that was taught in my diploma. The answer I received that it wasn't taught (in the degree) because it was too hard, but they use a simpler version of it instead. I was shocked to pieces, because that is the bare minimum and this IS university standards and I was wondering what do they teach there. It's not even close to what the people are using another software, which is harder and if I am an employer, I would think poorly of all SIM/SUSS students because you don't even know the basic softwares and you're practically irrelevant to me. I have to spend time to hone and teach you if I have the patience to. It makes me wonder if they're so out of touch for all degrees as well.
In SME/MNCs, how much money can you earn for the boss is more important than how well you can study. To be a profit revenue instead of a cost centre more
It does matter for govt sector as a teacher, but from what I understand, all diploma students eventually undergo the upgrading of degree and gets paid better now. I think about $2k shifted up to a maximum of $7k for farmer teachers? Govt uhhh well you're a farmer, it's whether if u get a manager role or executive equivalent job. Your trajectory is hugely defined from your psle/degree onwards, they're trying to change some things so that it improves the mobility and gives a beam of light at the end of the tunnel, so as to speak, but well.. you're a farmer at the end of the day. Or you can be the poster boy to show the ray of hope for exceptional incremental for others.
I suppose they have to act in a way that is fair and upholds meritocracy and their standards, it wouldn't be fair to overhaul the entire system because of some disgruntled employee and yet, not effective to ask them to stay put without giving some motivation. There is a distinction of calibre between people imo, even though it's rather painful to say it.
When I graduate, I'd rather look at the pay, working hours or working culture for the trade offs. I'd probably want to start up a family and stuff like that, and I'm not sure if I can work 17 hours in peak hours in my 30s. In the 20s it's fine, but 30s hmmmms.
Hmms. Which university or degree are you talking about? I've met a few nus econs friends who face difficulties in finding jobs, so I am rather curious now.
@clubbie: we need more practice like 20 to 30 lessons.
But I think I will die hahaahhaa.
Marketing is an online class, but I feel like i'm doing more work compared to other modules. Maybe its because they are breaking it into pieces, and I'm not sure how effective the retention is.

I can't say the same for all programs. But the psychology program is definitely recognised. We have had alumni from the psychology program who went on to NUS' Master in Clinical Psychology program (the annual intake is only 12 people). Even for overseas universities...the number of postgraduate psychology programs in Singapore is very limited. Many specialities are not even offered in Singapore. Nonetheless, students from UniSIM/SUSS have applied and gained admittance to a variety of overseas psychology programs as well. We also have alumni who are currently working in the Singapore Prison Services and the Institute of Mental Health. So...psychology wise, I am confident that it is recognised
