last SG · 2009-07-22T11:48:20+00:00

btw, these links are for full-time education.....i now working so can only part-time.http://www.ite.edu.sg/cet/Here you go then.

Hello Kitty SG

just curious, but i checked out MDIS, PSB Academy etc. and the course they offer is always the same types, like:

1) Accounting

2) Computer Science / Engineering

3) Business Computing

4) Business Management

5) Some misc life science courses

got anything more interesting than these courses?! like u know, other less well-known but still practical courses.

i'm planning to study to upgrade myself cos' i don't wanna be farking admin asst with no life. nowadays when people ask me what's my job position, i don't even dare to say.

but with such a boring choice of courses, well.......

eh, me tot u luv ur job?

& aimin for admin exec?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

like u know, other less well-known but still practical courses.

Nursing, pharmaceutical, microbiology, medical assistants, childhood education.

Should be interesting enough? And more practical? What's your definition of practical by the way?

I see two ways of interpretations:

1. Hands-on

2. Realistic

Suffocate SG

hey bro......how u recently? u ever intend to further your studies on some courses / discipline u like?

Those that I mentioned in my post

Nikar7 SG

& aimin for admin exec?

no lah, i never like my job. now because nowadays totally nothing to do at office, i hate it more. after thinking about it, even admin exec doesn't really have good progression path, because after admin exec, where can u go? asst manager? not likely, because u still need to have the core knowledge and discipline in an area (like HRM, construction, finance etc.)

everytime i think of being stuck at admin asst or admin exec until i am 50 year old ah-pek, i really worry like hell.

i'm overwhelmed by the amt of courses out there available for me after all these research, but i think it's best to find a course which is:

1) not that hard to study

2) able to find steady job in SG

3) something which i've at least some interest in

4) preferably also, has a balanced amt of girls taking the course (those guy-course like IT or engineering = no no)

now i'm looking at either interior design, multimedia or business computing.

anyone with interior design or multimedia or business computing certs care to advise?

GHoST_18 SG

It is interesting that you want a course which is not hard to study and yet could net you a steady job with plentiful of girls.

Stop dreaming, Nikar.

who says only hard-to-study courses then can have plenty of girls?

it is dreamers like me who make the legends of tomorrow.

noahnoah SG

If u are legends of tomorrow

You will not be posting here

asking what course to take

And instead of focus on life

your mind is only full of pretty girls

All i can say is that

after another 10 years in life

you will be still back here

asking ppl What course to take

Well, all the dreamers who became great legends worked very hard, and I am pretty sure they didn't attempt to find "as simple a course as possible".

noahnoah SG

25 years already

still in his own dreamland

Very sad case

i hope u take up marine engineering so that u can complete your ark asap.

The Central CDC, located at HDB Hub Toa Payoh has really good interesting free talks.

Try going for one to get a better feel of how you can choose a change to better suit your needs.

Lorry` SG

After some research, i can say mass comms isn't for me.

digital media / animation really has no future in SG.

now i'm looking at: http://www.inspiration.sg/diploma.html#

any interior designer here? what do u think of this diploma?

i hope if i really graduate from this interior design dip, i don't have to wear overalls and paint walls and drill ceilings and eat lunch with banglahs and PRC.

First of all, do you know what is interior design or not?

1. Interior design is not easy. What makes you think it's easy?

2. Cant be confirmed. It depends on your connection etc.

3. So do you have interest in interior design? How sure you are?

1. Nothing is "not that hard to study". What makes it easy though, is your interest. IT and Science looks easy to me, because the interest is there. Once the motivation to learn is there, concepts are easily absorbed and learnt. The application may or may not be easily applied, but as long as you want to learn, you may find some concepts are easily applied.

2. I find that SG is quite trendy in terms of jobs. There used to be a time where engineering and IT jobs are hot. Before the financial disaster, financial jobs are hot. At around the same time when the financial industry was booming, SG Science field is also opening up, and it's quite easy to get a job. Now, due to all those people wanting a hot job, certain fields jobs are not filled. IT, engineering and science are pretty steady because innovation and development is always needed. But none of these fields are very easy as you progress and you may find yourself asking stupid questions like "is it worth it" in 5 to 10 years' time.

3. That you have to ask yourself. There are so many things to study in this world, what in general interest you? HRM? Business? Science? Maths? Languages? History? Geography? Art? Music? IT? Engineering? Accounting? Etc... To list them it would be endless, but for certain, if you would definitely study a couple subjects that you won't like to be more well-rounded. Bear in mind also, some courses are not available in Singapore and are found only overseas.

4. LOL... unfortunately quite a lot of fields are dominated by either males or females.

Don't know anything about interior design.

Multimedia - it's going to be a big field. Which area are you you interested in?

Business computing - mixture of IT and business.

Both multimedia and business computing courses can be found in local polytechnics.

His only interest is in whether the course is easy and the amount of girls taking the course with him.

I would say dancing classes is easy.

And there is a lot of girls in those classes. Especially for salsa & latin classes.

TS can expect to do a career switch to become a professional dance partner or even a gigolo easier.

thanks, but i think i decide to go for that AEC course first. Usually, these talks make you "feel good" inside but at the end of the day, we still have to make our own decisions etc.

yeah, interior design = designing of anything in a building / home's interior like walls, rooms, and also includes furniture etc

and btw, 4) is funny leh......why u got so many expressions one?
