Think of it this way.
Econs: who cheaper, poly or Jc? Transport is 100% Adult fare for
poly students.
Road to higher learning: who easier? Sadly, a lot of poly students
cannot get into
local uni, other then SIM, after grad. Yes, there are some examples
of poly grads who are paid high, but a much more secured position
with better bargaining power for pay is the grads.
And if you are thinking of going into engineering, I suggest you to
think twice.
Nothing wrong with engineering, but more of pain and suffering when
you grad.
Engineers in SG are the lowly paid compared to the job they have to
do, sometimes, the AE is paid better.
Hope this helps.
