You're an up and coming businessman?
Yet you haven't even a hint of a clue...
Hello everyone. I have been following a couple of threads and have not encountered anyone in a similar situation. I am a 21-year-old single Asian girl who might be moving pretty soon to Singapore for a few years. I have my degree in Communication Arts and just recently got a certificate in Filmmaking in the US.
I was just wondering if there's anyone here in their early 20s as well who moved to Singapore and got on fine? I have two interviews lined up for some media and advertising companies and while not set in stone, I'm pretty excited at the prospect of working and living in Singapore independently. The job hunting bit's been a real pain, but I'm determined to emerge victorious in the end, shall we say. A lot of people have discouraged me, but I really want to do this for myself.
I've been to Singapore twice in my life. My last visit was a month ago and I just fell in love. It's perfect for a young single person, in my opinion. Also, I find it a gorgeous place despite the terrible heat. I'm trying to consider other countries too, but can't think of any that's as convenient as Singapore for me. It's just four hours away from my home country which is great. I can also do some traveling to other nearby Asian countries. Am I being a bit too idealistic here?
I'd love to hear from you guys. How was the big move like at such a young age? Anything I should consider? Thank you so much.
degree in communication arts? what is that? is it me or the world is so full of nonsense degrees nowdays? whats wrong with a degree in engineering? construction? economics? finance? accountancy? law? Is it fair to assume that those who are took or taking 'mickey mouse' courses are incapable to do proper degrees? This is all but laughable, LOL!
Im not surprised the world is so saturated with degree holders, never mind teh fake ones you get from india, philippines, indonesia and malaysia! (yes if you havent read the economist lately, it exposed that in indonesia they encouraged students to cheat) Which raises the question, how many so called professionals out there in a practical industry like engineering and construction are let loose? As an up and coming business man, I will never never never hire anyone if they havent got their qualifications from western states. Heres a thought, how about devising an app that singles out the proper degrees from proper institutions from those fake ones you get in say india
