admitted to prestigious courses such as medicine, law and
dentistry.

vocational diploma upon graduation. which means you can start work
with a higher starting pay, arnd 1800, with viable career

O level. fit for simple administrative jobs only. pay is 1600 at
best. as you are vocationally trained, career advancement is
limited.
