ITE The Best For SUCCESS?

Zen.hackerz SG

Hello everyone!,

In the previous thread i've recently made in 'ITE to MASTERS possible?'. i'm actually elated to see wonderful feedbacks and some polorize views by you people. well , i'm currently studying in ITE CW-AM campus under 'Precision Engineering'. tomorrow is the debut of my first learning journey for the above course. the sentiment of having that as my 3rd choice was good enough because i've the sheer of determination to further my education in polytechnics with at least 3.8 GPA credits earned in my 2nd year - in 2011. by the way , 3.8 GPA is my target and i'll rest assure that i don't miss out that target for if the bullets need more backup. Also , i think that ITE is good for students who can't cope with academia studies. In my opinion it's 'ok' after doing the aftermath - the feedbacks.

My question is? When will ITE ever be known as a well-rounded Education to Pathway of education success? Please answer it honestly. I'd really appreciate that.

On the second though , i'd wish to apologize to viewers that found my previous thread a little insulting. Sorry.

there are people who are successful and have gone on to study till masters level what. dun you know that ITE grad can go on to study diploma and then degree course at NUS or NTU meh?

stellazio SG

but its actually a waste of time..cause you're taking a much longer route..for every success story there lies a million of untold ones.. yes there is no doubt that if you work hard you can succeed, but its the same everywhere..

success is what you make of it.

not the school

u can go to a good school and still end up having a sh*tty career

u can go to a lousy school and end up with a successful career

i don't consider it a waste of time if someone really does need to take a longer time to reach his goals.

longer, yes. reach goal? yes. waste of time, no.

longer, yes. reach goal? yes. waste of time, no.

if he was this determined to succeed from the start he wouldnt be spending a longer time right?

and actually what i meant by a waste of time was that, if the masters is what he is ultimately aiming at, there're other routes that leads to it especially with so many private diplomas and degrees to jumpstart the process.

simple, the education system doesn't think he's good enough.

there are other routes, but what if along the way, he learns that he wants something else?

i have friends who go one big circle in university because they realise they are not learning what they wanted in the first place.

i have a friend who was from normal tech, went to ITE, then swapped to Shatec, worked as a waiter, study accountancy part time and now that he's 29, he gets a nice paying cushy job as an accountant. the ITE and Shatec route is totally different from what he is now. would that be a waste of time? no.

eventually he is happy with what he decided to go for. the only thing was that the education system thought that he wasn't good enough to fly that fast.

Private diplomas and degrees in engineering are rarely recognised by employers.

Employers still prefer engineering qualifications from ITE, poly and NUS and NTU.

Private schools can only teach the theory part while the practical part of engineering is not covered or cover superficially.

As compared to ITE, poly, NUS and NTU, they have invested millions of dollars on the latest engineering facilities to help the students to get the first hand, practical engineering skills.

Study where got waste of time. There are people who are drifting around without any education, not even N levels. I'd rather you go longer route with a goal in mind then drifting around without any goals and that is even wasting your time.

TS should tell himself "why the f*ck should i care what others think? from now on, i will just do well with what I have"

Poignant SG

you created another thread to get own arh?

Rooney9 SG

if you watch hk movies, you would have known action director/choreographer, cheng xiu tong. he studied till primary school and didnt like schooling at a young age. look at where he turned out today, a multi millionaire.

Poignant SG

yea

so ts, you should quit sch now and go into movies.

Itedino SG

Not everyone can cope the stress in University. It require strong will, mentality and determination. Good luck.

Rooney9 SG

yea

so ts, you should quit sch now and go into movies.

haha hk movies are in decline now, as compared to the 70s, 80s and 90s. not everyone who is in movies can be like him. you need to be as talented as him. if not, you are no different from everybody in the movie business. what made him stand out is his action choreography.

vertmonyet SG

i'm in ITE myself. basically i'm just slower paced than others.

Sec 1 - 2, Express.

Sec 2 - 4 Normal Academic.

yeah, it's a longer route, but i will get there. the determination is in me, because the career opportunities here is really wide and open.

even 2008 express students got into ITE because of the opportunities here.

my aim, due to being academically inclined, is to get into higher nitec and then poly.

if possible, maybe uni, no doubt. there's no ending to where one can study. never.

Hi,

Not all ITE student are lousy in their academic. Its probably a wrong step at that critical point that causes their "fall". I, for one, was a ITE student. After studying for 2 years in ITE and serving 2 years in NS, I managed to go to NTU after getting my diploma. (I studied 4 years of part time. Half study and half working.) I studied full time in NTU.

Also its not a waste studying ITE then diploma and finally NTU. At each point of time, you experience different stages in life. As a manager now, I fully comprehend what it is like to be a technician (cause I was a technician before).

Therefore don't give up.. Treat every step as a challenge. Learn as much as possible in each instance in life. Stretch your potential (you don't know your own potential until you hit the limits).

lastly a word of advice ....A person who give up is worse than a person who fall....
