so typical
i've been thinking and i need help on this.
Tell me, tell me. Should i start uni later?
heh i know. why am i so indecisive! ugh oh wells.
#1. My initial plan
Study at SIM - Economics and Finance
Degree awarded by RMIT - Project based
1.5 Years, Starting Jan 08.
Closing Date: Oct 07.
Pros: Starts earlier, ends earlier
: Shorter so its cheaper.
Cons: RMIT is not as recognised as UOL
: money - Have to find some student loans
.
#2.
Still study at SIM - Economics and Finance
Degree awarded by UOL (University of London) - Exam Based
2 years, starting Aug 08
Closing Date: Mar 08
Pros: UOL is more recognised
: I can continue working and save up alittle more for the course Fees, take up less loans
: At the same time, try enroll myself into other Local unis again. Who knows i might get into NUS or NTU business or SMU. heh.
: Maybe my family might stike rich because of the "on block" thingy. and money wouldnt be an issue. HEH
Cons: Its a long wait and i'm already a year late
: Start later and the course is also longer. Which means Pay more and graduate later.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.
Now. i'm quite keen on the 2nd option.
cos UOL is generally more recognised and with the extra time, i get to try enroll myself into the local Unis again. and who knows i might get a shot this time. (Cos our govt finally realise that only 1 out of 4 poly grads go into local Unis. So they're opening up more space for people like us.)
.
BUT.
- Will a degree from a slightly more recognised uni make that much of a difference? after all, RMIT is one semester cheaper. and thats like saving $6k.
- will that more expensive; recognised Degree get me a better job?Cos I'm thinking..I have a diploma and i'm also doing Sai kang, probably earning the same amount as an 'O' Level grad. So tell me.whats the point of it again?
- Am i an exam sort of person? Is UOL more stressful? can i do it?
- I'm a year later than all poly students, and 2 years later than all JC students my age. HEH. i dont like the idea of that. and i hate waiting. i want to go to school Now.
.
Then again,
- if i manage to get into some business course in NUS, NTU or SMU.. THEN the degree will make a whole lot of difference.
.
So now..
- The Risk is wait, and who knows i might get a degree that makes a whole lot of difference... but bear in mind that the probability is 1 out of ********** (heh. i dont know)
- Wait. Dont get a degree that makes a whole lot of difference, but a more recognised degree that makes a little difference.
- Dont wait. Get a cham-pa-lang degree that doesnt make that much of a difference anyways.
- Dont wait: Chop chop, get it over and done with. cos the outcome of either one is the same. might ask well go the faster route.
.
"Am i making sense to you?"
.
Seriously. i'm complicating myself. HELP.
Ugh. just help me pick one pls. #1 or #2.
AHH.
