diploma or degree

Rock^Star SG

degree. no offence but a diploma is as good as bang sai jua these days. We used to have 3 polys giving about 20,000 grads per year. Now we have got Republic Poly, so that adds the number to about 26-27,000 a year. With hundreds of thousands of grads flooding the market in the next ten years, i think the diploma will become just about everyone's PSLE cert.

get a degree, it guarantees you nothing but at least it's still relevant. And since it's a part time cert and not at the original country itself, your choices are pretty much limited to only the private sector.

think its a very common question alot of people are fret about, that is to work with a dip cert or to work + taking part-time degree?which is better, worst or tough?when comparing to 10years down the road..which has more prospect?should i just work with what i have or take up a part-time degree while working?it seems pretty stress on hearing it..but i do not know what is the best for me..

AGONY!!!

go for Professional Graduate Diplomas instead..specialised certificates..like CFA, CPA etc..

which takes only a few months..but the price cost the same if not slightly expensive than a diploma combined..but this saves lots of time, and with time, you can earn back and make much more money..in the process..

what's the diff between Diplomas and Professional Graduate Diplomas?

Rooney9 SG

grad diploma are diploma meant for graduates who have a first degree.

Jenia SG

first degree ? means the person already graduated from a uni? since like that why still go for a diploma ?

Rooney9 SG

cos usually a graduate diploma modules are shorter in duration than a diploma. the person may not want to study for MBA or masters mah. so choose to study a grad dip lor.

Jenia SG

Jenia SG

Btw…........UniSIM degrees are all right i think

what's the diff between Diplomas and Professional Graduate Diplomas?

Studying Diploma takes 3yrs..$6,000++(correct me if i'm wrong)

Professional Graduate Diploma takes 3-6months ..$6K and above depending on your choice of course..

Example:

Diploma graduate students name: John Chen Xian Long (general academic qualification)

Professional grduate student name: John Chen Xian Long, CPA, CFA (professional academic + certification)

those are the advantage that immediately tells others that you are a certified specialist in wealth manager or whatever graduate diploma course you completed..

this what what you can print on your name card, look at Insurance and Financial advisors namecards, i'm sure they will have all theses...

why waste years of times when you can go pro in the shortest time possible?

There is no right or wrong answer in life.

It's just how you feel you should live your life.

If you think diploma is enough, by all means stop at diploma.

If you think degree is needed, by all means go pursue the degree.
