BULLSH*T! fyi, TP offers cater & culinary management course. As for your decision to go higher nitec or poly, do what you feel it's best for you. A dip...

pinky88 SG

As i now pursuing Higher Nitec in Business Administration and I am not sure whether should i continue to poly... As, poly offered course are very limited and it is 3 yrs some more...

But if i as a higher nitec graduate, can i still get good pay if i work as a admin assistant? I know everything... Coz my course teach us alot... Which include of: book-keeping, business communication(records of minutes of meeting, etc), MS Office and alot...

Quite undecisive abt it... Can anyone say ur view here? Thanks....

mhcampboy SG

No harm getting a higher education. Wink

pinky88 SG

But it is like, after i graduate from poly, i will be going to reach mid-20’

allentyb SG

mhcampboy SG

allentyb SG

pinky88 SG

But u think as a higher nitec graduate, wat will be my pay like? I heard frm ppl tat, if u go poly business admin course, the things u learn is like wat u learn in higher nitec… So it is like, im spending over few thousand to study the same things?

soulwinner SG

Eveything have a way ..

pinky88 SG

He take wat course? But my course is u learn here and there is the same thing... But whereby, those engineering is alot of things to learn... So no harm if they pursue to poly...

allentyb SG

standard command in paywise for a poly graduate for admin - $1200 to $1500

and perhaps - contract for one year........ then convert to permanent

if you are that keen to find out about paywise

crofty SG

never give up! Wink we still have army while you dont,so there is plenty of time for you Mr. Green go ahead

allentyb SG

nowadays, it really doesn't matter, what course, you are majoring in.....

next time, whatever you learn in school

it doesn't mean that you can apply whatever you learn in work society

a poly cert is to command a certain amount of pay.......

at most when you comes out when you finished poly, you will be 23 years old at most 24+

so babe.... don't worry so much, you are still young......

pinky88 SG

But if i choose Cambridge Private Diploma leh? Cambridge is a very well recognised also….

allentyb SG

depends what you are majoring in?

if you are talking about admin.......

then choose MDIS, go for a degree

you never even state what you want to do in the future...........

if you really want to..... choose the path in what you want to do in the future

there is a big difference in a job and a career

pinky88 SG

Well, i hope to get a job in office environment… Then save money then i would like to pursue my career in Western Food Business…

If you aren't being bogged down by financial issues, go for higher education. At least it secures your future.

If you do have financial issues, you can start working first, then continue your education after a few years.

ok, since you know what you want, already

then start to look for a institute that offer course that cater to your liking

ChingAlvin SG

If age is a problem to you then go ahead and work while taking a private diploma and it usually takes less time.

I would say that, dont worry about having Higher Nitec cert, they are more treasured by employers then diplomas nowadays

countdracula SG

are you certain.....don't give wrong info to the thread starter....just flip the classifieds and you'll see diploma gets you supervisory jobs at entry level while higher nitec doesn't...

even if you do study similar things at dip level, it's worth the while, you can then do very well and progress to degree with exemptions...these days dip can get you the degree in less than 2 years......your prospective employers will be impressed to see your various certs, it shows your hardworking ethic and academic achievements......

Xiao Jun SG

I would suggest graduating with at least a diploma...qualifications do matter in most professions Very Happy
