But i still end up in Poly be it Sec 5 or Pfp , why would it
make a difference when i enlist in army O_O btw whats SIR :x
I will suggest going sec 5 and take the O levels exam.
This will keep you safe when u decide to enter local
universities such as NTU and NUS after poly
If you read
http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/gradeprofile/sprogramme-igp.html &
http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/oad2/website_files/IGP/AY12-13_IGP.pdf , it
states: "Please note that in addition
to the Polytechnic GPA, the Singapore-Cambridge O-Level results of
polytechnic applicants are also taken into account for university
admissions."
Thus even if u end up in poly, you may have problems entering
local uni if you don't have o level results.
You can call the respective unis to check if they accept PFP or
not.
Please continue studying after poly, im teaching my friend
higher nitec electronics, he says he wants a degree cos the
engineers there draw out the circuits, all throw to those with ite
qualification go solder.
For army, if you have a diploma or A level, you will have a
chance to be commanders such as sergeants or officers, although
they have more reservise cycles.
Else, you will be enlisted into a 'standard' batch, or mono intake
riflemans(like the SIR unit mentioned).
Also, if you have diploma / A level, people will treat u with more
respect, it is a stereotype thing, like how people say "those with
tattoo is ah beng", all this can't be helped.
Like what summer hill mentioned, what do you want to be next
time? To be honest, when im in sec 4, im also lost, duno what i
wanna do.
At that time, teacher keep asking who wan go poly who wan go jc,
keep bringing us go career fair, i dun even know what is the point
at that time
I worked in sim lim square as a computer technician after O levels,
some of my friends work in handphone shops, some got pregnant, some
entered poly and JC.
I found my interest and passion in poly, but unfortunately, i
didn't know that course which matches my passion existed in poly.
It was in poly then i realise O level is quite important, i was
lucky i didn't do too bad.
Now after poly im running a rental business renting out
professional sound system for events, and a bit of sound
engineering, that is my area of interest. There is a bit of
electrical engineering involved, and lots challenges like last
minute troubleshooting, equipment failures, power trips, not enough
wires, etc.
So the question now is, what do you like to do next time?
