They also hands on lah. You think OCS cadets easy life ah? Unless you trying to compare CSM with the 2LT ..

LazerLordz SG

because some of them are truly rejects in the realm of intelligence . It's not that hard to end up in Honours year anyway. Wink

LazerLordz SG

I'm in FASS, and no I will not contaminate myself with such specious writing. If she has any sense, she will not write something so juvenile again.

I slogged over my theatre paper for two weeks and got a B+, and that this fucking crap can make it to the Forum pages; tells me two things, editorial skills are in short supply in SPH, or they had nothing better to post.

Talk about giving NUS and FASS a bad name.I'm still pissed.I wonder if she will remain employable out there given this sort of narrow myopic attitude.

Janedoeslove SG

em.. i think the abv mentioned reasons are lame?

the 3rd reason..(3. they got friends/gf/bf over there): there's a thread abt this girl wan to get married first then study NIE cos she n her bf will be living together and will support each other? but they wont hv time? cos both r doing things belong to diff worlds? (NIE and Airforce.. Zzz). She's 20 now, but only 21 den can register at ROM, still gt sometime to prepare a more detailed proposal la, hoR?

I supposed ur "weaker" refers to students who didnt score very well in their O lvls? and gt into JC of higher COP (unlike raffles JC)? it's better to define what JC can do for u first. JC will always be a direct route to local U. Poly is not, cos it has a more open "mindset" as it recruits more than just O lvls students...

tortoise55 SG

Why some students who can go jc want to go poly? because they just want to end their suffering early and earn money asap. Poly teach you a skill that you can use right away in the working world. jc? i dun think so, what can they do? clerk? bank assistant? 1 hr earn $6 - $6.50?

For me, when i was in sec 2, i already decide i nv go to jc, cos it wun suit me.

sbst275 SG

Simply "weaker" can be in any sense, but I thik I would rather define it to in academic work

Though they might be weak, I believe you give them the chance, they will seize it and study hard to excel... Exclude that it's a direct entry to Uni (Simply this is what JCs do to get their pts today)

BaByBoY SG

Lai lai....

Let me say something..
1st i`ll like to say A lvl Graduates cannot be compared to Poly Diploma Graduates. The best reason is employability. Go anywhere and ask, the poly grad will fetch a higher salary than any A lvl Holder big time. Also an average A lvl grads have much less working experiences compared to the average poly grads.. why? because JC no haf IA/PA or whatever A u wan..

Generally, a poly will be more `happening`, in sense they`ve usually more carnivals and special occasions than a typical JC, thus the more diversed and interesting culture. And also. poly student are often trained to think` outta the box`. thus often more flexible in thinking, ( that why A lvl hoolders are always seem to be nerdy ).

As an empolyer, i`ll always want to hire a poly grad over a JC grad anytime. I`ll pay poly ppl higher anytime. JC ppl are just senior Sec grade..

Lucky I`m in uni now, doenst matter how i get there..
it`s surely better than any funky poly grad or punky JC grad..
PS. don flame me la.. ( gotta agree the KOH is overboard )

Janedoeslove SG

i believe it so too. but not all. Sad
same for poly, some get in le, but still slack thru. (some may hv just opt for it cos they couldnt get into JC, den slack thru too!? some r forced to JC? some just nvr planned well enough aft O lvls or nvr follow the plan thru determinedly?

Janedoeslove SG

Since u r in UNi now, den u better score well also. Smile
N it's better to prepare ur C.V. soon. Ur school gt teach u to write C.V. right?

employers dun just look to your paper certificates. Your resume is much much more important.

sbst275 SG

For poly, though I'm not very clear on why they slack, what I believe is because they think there's 'total' freedom

BaByBoY SG

I tink they will..
but not yet....

anyway so what if u go JC or poly..
end of the day it`s the money u put in ur bank end of each month that counts..
actually it doenst even matter wat uni/jc/poly u come from..
in the REAL world, if u got the money, u`re BOSS

Janedoeslove SG

tt's true.

some may just know what they want in poly, cos of the programmes it offers.
some dunno what they want yet, so go JC first lor, when get into U le, can choose what u wan n major in it, n study higher n higher n den nobody dares to afford u cos ur qualification too high le(pay must be high also), after which u can choose to go n be a professor liao la. a govt one will do. pay also can be equivalent to ur qualification.

sbst275 SG

That's why why this gen of Singaporeans we need to get worried... Already they are opening the uni up progressively to the poly students yet they are not seizing the chance, to be fair, hopefully these are the minority

Actually be it go to JC or Poly, you must know what you wanna do... Still dunno, in poly take engineering, no matter what, you can still switch to most courses in uni

Janedoeslove SG

Cool and ur cpf and insurance too. must put in more money in these first before u retire.

Janedoeslove SG

haha yeah, u study mechanical engineering in Poly, in the end u do IT job.
conclusion: A Diploma doesnt set ur life down. so dun fuss so much la! still can go anywhere, right?

1) u can work first n save some money den go overseas study for a deg, or take up private deg($$$$$+working exp)
2) study hard den go local U.($$$)
3) dip> graduate dip/advanced dip > professional dip.
4) if u gt the brains, use it wisely> entreprenuers?

dcx SG

Aiya....as long as you've the determination n will to study hard, it doesn't really matter if you're in Jc/Poly/ITE/Re-"O"...if can make it to the Uni, then good for you...study hard...otherwise, work hard and work smart....Good grade in academic doesn't means that you can survive in the world better than those ppl having lower academic grades....

Employers look upon your working attitude and thinkings(solutions) and they do not want those "just tok-only solutions"...Like what ah Mao said, "Don't care whether it's black cat or white cat, as long as can catch rats is a good cat". Laughing

I've seen degree holders with honours, very good at "giving solutions", but when asked to execute them, u can forget about it.....You can see how they talk n present themselves during interviews...

Would prefer to choose diploma graduates as their "asking prices" are lower than degree holders....and of coz, there're diploma graduates who talk"big" during degree holders, similar to some degree hodlers which i've mentioned above...but then, as i've mentioned again, their "asking prices" is lower and replacements can be easily found...

Whichever papers you're holding, do well in your interview/s, and produce what you've said during your interview/s and if hired, perform yourself well becoz whatever "contributions/virtues/etc" you've said, they'll be taken note of....and will be used to judge against your performance.... Laughing

All in all...fcuk care if you're a degree/poly/ITE/"A lvl" graduate, most importantly is what you can give n contribute to the company...and of coz, luck counts coz if your boss is a [email protected]#$%& person...u also LPPL...

p/s: Above said are in general...those with super 1st class hons n above could be involved too....but then...only a small percentage...i don't have hard solid facts...just based on my experiences..

R3SsH|n SG

you better watch what you say...you have alot of friends in engineering...IT and design course..

zhjjhz888 SG

actually does not matter jc or poly....
who got most $ who win..
if u do a salary survey survey on poly grad and uni grad. The result will probably be uni grad higher. In that sense, uni grad. are better. Jc students mostly go uni except for a few lousy ones like some from CJC and some other ones...They probably go overseas U ,SIM , or even apply poly.
Those highly successful ppl from poly are exceptions just like there are also exceptional uni grads .
Having said that , gg poly or jc or uni whatever is personal choice, just like a 1st class hons student can choose not to study masters and go out work instead. Would he feel inferior that he does not have a Masters or pHD? No, because he might be a manager in a few years time as compared to a phd student doing research in labs.

newcomer SG

Which explains why the Singapore government is never charismatic. The cabinet is filled with nerds.

rich989898 SG

I agree with Adeline if she means better as academically better.

I have academically smart and intelligent JC graduates working hard to create wealth for me. I sincerely love them. Mr. Green

I hate to be blunt, in terms of creativity, street-smart and entrepreneurship I think polytechnic students are better than JC students, period.

valentinoo SG

WHO IS THIS adeline koh ah…..im eligible to go JC, im also not interested..POLY education is the best lah….more fun…only nerds go to JC….
