Well, I kinda have some complicated questions
here:
1. What course shall I study for
degreee?
Let me give you some background. I have a diploma in
Computer Engineering from Singapore Polytechnic. I got an offer in
both NTU and NUS. But then I reserved a place in Nanyang
Technological University (NTU), Degree in Computer Science.
Currently I am serving a 1 year and 10 months mandatory National
Service. I have been thinking about it so much lately. I don't know
whether shall I change course or not? I am not an IT Savvy guy and
I am not so interested in IT either. The only modules that I
enjoyed during my poly time were Computer Networking modules,
wireless, and "some" programming modules. Well by now, I think I
have forgotten programming probably. So yeah, I was wondering
whether pursuing a computer science is a good choice or not since I
am not an IT Savvy guy? Oh another thing, I don't know my own
interests. I really feel pathetic. I don't know what I like to do
or what I am good at.
2. Shall I study full-time or
part-time?
If I study full-time, I would need a about 3 years
more which means that I will only start working at the age of
26/27. Its like wasting 3 years worth of working experience. That's
insane. Recently I came across uniSIM which offers part-time degree
in about 3 years too.
-
BSc Information and Communication Technology
-
BSc IT and Business (ERP)
Well I am kinda interested in both courses I
mentioned in the link above.
But then when I googled in forums trying to find
out the salary ranges from graduates from this course, I could not
find. But I managed to find those graduates who graduated from
University of London (SIM). Their starting salaries were like from
$1.8k - $2.4k per month. And I was like so shocked. I don't know
how true is true. That's what I found in the online forums. So I
was like comparing, Fresh graduates from NTU Comp Science students
would earn about $3k-$3.7k as their starting salaries. Whereby, I
am not sure how much does IT graduates from SIM earns.
I am also kind of interested in the courses below:
I would greatly appreciate if someone could let
me know. As of now, I am still undecided whether to study part-time
or full-time?
3. Shall I apply for a
scholarship?
If I were to study full-time in NTU, shall I apply
for a scholarship? with bonds or without bonds? I felt kind of
scary if I were to apply for scholarship. Will I be working as what
have I studied? or will I do some jobs that I don't enjoy doing
after I graduate? How much will I be paid after graduation? Market
price or below market price if I were sponsored by a company. My
poly GPA is not so good. Is about 3.75. I don't know whether
getting a scholarship in Singapore is a good idea or not. Any
advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for reading these
questions.
*Man, honestly, I am tired of studying.
