Everyone here seems delighted to get into NTU. When will the NUS
results be out? I got the letter too, EEE. but i have not accepted
it yet. I thought of continuing with the PSB newcastle
degree.
In terms of international recognition, I think both are on par.
It's just tat the local uni is cheaper. But newcastle is P/T. So I
can work and gain experience. Tough though. Working F/T and
studying P/T.
Besides at the age of 25, I feel terrible about relying on my mum
for pocket $. And working P/T while studying F/T stinks too. and if
I work P/T and study F/T, isn't tat just a reversal of roles when
compared to the PSB newcastle degree? And I get less income and job
exp tat is totally unrelated.
Still undecided though, a part of me wishes to experience varsity
life. though i think it's somewhat similar to poly life. at least
the local uni has better infrastructure and support. a proper
system.
Foreign challenges are everywhere. Learn to live with it. Even in
the workplace, I sometimes feel outnumbered. I would be clubbed to
death if I shout : 'Go back you foreign Dogs!!!'...
We have been too protected for way too long. The SG govt has
protected us, the banks, telcos, etc. Open your eyes. We are not
alone in this world. Welcome and embrace the challenges. We might
receive the same treatment too if we went to the US or europe. I
must admit though, some of these so called foreign talent are
absolute crap. They know jackshit.
But if they are intelligent, I would learn from them. And if they
are clueless, I would guide them. I will try to look beyond
nationality and race. But I must always watch my back....
