skeujin SG

pinkish purple papayas SG

so should people join this bandwagon and take up courses on casino management? so we can open our own gambling dens? Laughing

SexyChin SG

Seems super interesting to me. But not sure whether there is future in it or not. there is only two IR in singapore. Maybe the garment build more IRs?

dragg SG

i dont think it is a good course.

how many potential employers can you find in singapore?

FireIce SG

singapore where got so much land?

FireIce SG

tts not the real prob

the prob is.......they hire locals or import?

Ponders SG

who is offering the degree ah?

I really want to like be the first few involved in the IR's opening.

can be exempted from that $100 admission fee.

Li Ka Shing SG

There are some such degrees already, overseas.

But not limited to casinos only. It's more comprehensive called......dunno what.

It's meant for the whole spectrum of resort management/ amusement park management/ etc, so this should include casinos also.

But your question means whether this kinda degree should be available in Singapore? If that's what you meant, then what do you think?

I think Singapore doesnt have enough demand for it.

Haha one year must only graduate 3 people.

its actually a BBA in Hospitality with majors in Casino Mgmt.
so i suppose, they degree also applicable to Hotel industries, F&B industries, service sector and relevant industries..

dragg SG

they'll tell you they hire mainly singaporeans, but in fact, otherwise.

10000 jobs directly related will be created, 15000 jobs are jobs relevant to the IRs, thats 35,000 jobs… dun think they gonna employ 35000 foreigners rite?

Li Ka Shing SG

That is just a claim made by the government and the developer.

By the way how big will the 2 IRs be? I mean the physical size. Im really curious how they can employ supposedly 10k direct employees. I saw the plot of land not so big.

If you take a degree, that means at least you want to aim for management level. Isnt that right? You dont need a degree to be the waiter or the card dealer. So this 10k employee number is a very bloated number for you. What's the number of the management will be? Maybe not too many, isnt it?

But if want to try out.....since you take the degree overseas, why not just work overseas also? More opportunities. After graduation dont come back to Singapore. One way. Since already overseas then just continue there.

pinkish purple papayas SG

yeah i suppose 10k would meant jobs like, bellboys, infrastructure networking, marketing, card dealers, waiters, security,cleaning and stuff.

the other 15k would be counsellors, tourism sector, contracted workers, loan sharks? Mr. Green

certainly getting a degree in Casino Mgmt exclusively would be TOO specialize, like a panda that could only eat bamboo.

but getting a degree in Tourism & Hospitality Mgmt, with majors in Casino Mgmt would be a more practical plan rite?

Li Ka Shing SG

Is it with a major, the other unrelated sector will still hire you? Like not a casino, like a restaurant for example. If yes then I guess it's a bit better. But then you also will lose a bit to the restaurant specialist (the F&B major), and such.

Ponders SG

I thought some poly offering this course related to the IRs?

charlize SG

Rumour has it that there might even be a third one built exclusively on one of the islands (other than Sentosa).

So you think the government is telling you everything? Laughing

feelingblue SG

Hotel Management degree also cannot find job, you think Casino Management degree can find job with oni 2 IR?

charlize SG

At best guess 50% each.

Already you look at the recent record high 100K plus jobs created last year, according to reports about half went to locals and the other half to foreigners. Laughing
