Oversea or local Uni........

[triton]

sorry, i dont hire people for the company based on qualifications. im more interested to know how they will perform a task when given to them. to me, using the right tools for the tasks set out is first priority. why? so that they dont waste time.

also im more interested to know if they encounter problem, how will they handle the problem.

one can never prepare to come for my interview. there are some standard questions i asked. but each potential candidate will face with real life different qs to handle.

i prefer to employ thinking employees.

actual studying in sg is not stressful. it is parents who stress themselves. do u want to enrol your child in an elite school where the child has problem keeping up? or prefer to enrol the kid in an above average school where the child can adapt to the pace?

remember it is the child learning ability, also the child's interests.

In Singapore, 1 thing our 'Powers that be' emphasized on education and more education thus as a result, local employers and all their bodies judge ur competency by ur paper. So they rather hire a cock with papers and a person with good business acumen without paper.

Very sad here, society like dat. I think in 5 yrs they hire toilet cleaner min qualification u need is 'o' level.

i personally thinking of doing private uni..In future when I saved enough, I can't rule out migration. Won't 1 my kids to be exposed to this type of stress level.

And US got everything, from taiwanese to mainland chinese (these people are EVERYWHERE!!!) Curtin Business school, in all seriousness, english is no longer spoken... speak mando can already

was in CBS before transfer to murdoch for the time being. May stay at murdoch for another semester and see how.... whether decide to stay at murdoch or go back CBS.

Facility wise: curtin wins
student population: murdoch better (less people, and more locals)
quality of education: i *feel* curtin deliver better, as the staff at murdoch seem more chin chye.
overall cost of study: murdoch cheaper. parking, makan, public transport somemore now straight into campus.
Curtin need to take train, switch bus, switch feeder bus.

my personal choice: curtin wins!!

parking in CBS is MADNESS. so eventually i ride motorcycle. no one to fight for lots.

you are right, but in my family riding motorcycle is a crime.... so cannot, but I have consider before.
Nowadays, if I have to go to curtin, take train/bus.... same time. easily spend 30mins looking for parking, and somemore waste petrol idling and creeping at crawling pace.

Earlier this month I also "celebrated" 10 years of working life. I know your feeling bro ... stress & pressure, and it only gets worse.

A bit envy all of you ... I also local all the way, coz no money. And its only after 10 years of hard work, that I "rewarded" myself with my first Rolex.

not forgetting the HIGH humps especially if your car is lowered....

luckily my car not lowered....... my car is UGLY, but practical. Like ive said previously, it is no different to SUITES , only without the luxuries, and s'pore girl walking around asking me for drinks. But I do have a bed, fresh clothes (if required), condoms , car sickness bag, recovery system, etc etc.

But I can now get staff parking permit if I really wanted.... cost abit more, but worth it
But buy from murdoch and use at Curtin even cheaper ........
