It is never too early to make plans for your future. The sooner you do so, the more informed your decisions will eventually be. A key objective of this website is to provide you with background info on university education to aid you in your decision-making.
There are several options available to you:
| a. |
Begin a career |
| b. |
Get a degree in a local university |
| c. |
Get a degree from a Private Education Organisation (PEO) based in Singapore |
| d. |
Get a degree overseas |
Here are some key issues you may wish to explore:
| a. |
Know what you want. If you do not know what you want to achieve, it is hard for you to decide what the next best route is. |
| b. |
Consider your interests and abilities. Re-examine your values and ask yourself, "What do I want out of life, a job, a career?" |
| c. |
Identify your abilities and assess them as objectively as possible. |
| d. |
Be realistic about what you may be able to achieve. Studying can be very costly and you need to assess your financial standing before deciding on a preferred option. |
| e. |
If you choose to work, keep your mind open about pursuing further studies at a later date. Statistics have shown that there is a significant proportion of polytechnic diploma graduates who pursue further studies within the first 5 years upon graduation. |
| f. |
If you choose to study, note that TIME is most probably your most limited resource, not MONEY. The time you spend studying should yield the most results. |
| g. |
Consult people such as your parents, friends (especially older ones who are in a stronger position to advise you) and career coaches from the Student Career Centre (SCC). |
