just told my dad(gee the wonders of technology) and brother about my intention. daddy says as long i happy... brother's opinion is my stopping now means i'll only have a basic degree. less competitive than honors degree(he has at least a second upper honors[read: not first class] degree) and he got bypassed so i would be at an even greater disadvantage.
so here's the current battle plan. i'll just KIV all alternatives. but the basic motion would be something like this. i study this degree until end of this year. head back home and try to start working. at the same time take up some part time masters course with NTU and then be working and studying at the same time. i haven't queried NTU yet. but i'm guessing(from hearsay) that the part time course takes around 3yrs. so in the meantime i'll be disadvantaged. but 3yrs after that i can start feeling better.
why NTU? i'll be expecting comments from shan le... cos NUS part time course requirements include 2years work experience. which i have zilch. talking about work experience, one of my friend commented that, with a masters degree, people may not want to hire someone who is "overqualified" for the job. so i probably should just work then get the paper. or i could even get the paper first and keep it. then when the need arises in a job, just flash it out with a pleasant smile. that's plain cunning. hehe...
