in a spore realistic society, degree is the minimum, but it doesnt guarantee any future successes. after obtaining a degree, it still depends on yourself, to work hard and smart too. there are still many poor graduates out there.

One Harmonius Blend SG

what about diplomas? do they still guarantee usefulness in todays society?

Rooney9 SG

diploma grad find jobs easier than graduates, cos of disparate of pay. DBS likes to employ poly grad to be its bank officers.

Rooney9 SG

I find one friend who I find a bit funny. althou he is a grad, he didnt put his degree in his resume and say he is a diploma grad from poly. of course his pay isnt as high as the pay of grad when he was selected.

so do they (diploma holders) have the chance to hold high-paying jobs with terms and conditions applies (such as working hard for a promotion etc

Rooney9 SG

yes. alot of diploma grad are managers at MNCs and banks these days. besides paper qualifications, hard work and experiences and also leadership skills are considerations to consider as well.

One Harmonius Blend SG

i find that advantages are many for diploma holders though

Rooney9 SG

I know of one SME co dealing with mobile and hp sets. he was educated till primary 3 and he was their AGM. he drove a second hand merc to work everyday.

but this co employ mostly malaysians, as singaporeans tend to shun working at SME. even the wife of the boss is a malaysian, as is her sister. 80% of malaysians made up the staff strength of this co.

Nothing is guaranteed nowadays.

Even pHD-holder who is a former professor has to drive taxi...
