Hiong Week! And University!

Damn! Just completed duty this morning as a Guard 2 I/C at my camp... originally i was allocated as a guard 3 I/C .... but the camp sgt major say i have no experience.. so i should do guard 2 IC... which is like.. duh!

so keep opening and closing the main gate from 6pm to 7am... almost died! no wonder my sgt major also say " wah.. guard 2 I/C... siong! " nonetheless.. hopefully this is de 1st and last time i do guard at my camp.. afterall, i'm PES C le!

shall upload picture of my battery outing tomorrow or sunday!!

been thinking about the uni course i'm gg to apply for... finally short - listed to 2 courses @ SIM... been limiting myself to SIM.. cause mainly... there's student life!

Short - listed to these 2 courses...

1) Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University
Bachelor of Business (Management)

2) University of London (UOL)
Bachelor of Science in Business

Namely, i feel the pro and cons of both courses are....

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University
Bachelor of Business (Management)

Pros

• Broad-based management curriculum and option to specialize in a major and minor
• Student exchange program in USA
• Workplace integrated learning
• Mixture of projects, research papers and examinations
• Degree awarded identical to on-campus students, able to transfer to Melbourne campus
  

Cons

• No honor classification
• Not as prestigious as UOL program

University of London (UOL)
Bachelor of Science in Business

Pros

• Honor classification
• Prestigious qualification
• Relatively cheaper

Cons

• 100% Examination based

Seriously... my heart is leaning towards the RMIT program... because it's learning style is what I have been doing in poly... comfortable and not so much of a gamble... not to mention.. the practical learning approach is probably better to prepare me for the working world (not that i have not experience enough crap in army)

but logically, an honor and more prestigious degree is probably worth de difficulty in a pure examination syllabus...

but then again... i dun really know any friends personally who made it via de UOL program... though i know of 2 superiors who had SIM-RMIT certs and are earning a cushy living...

maybe afterall.... it's the man that makes what he is, not education?
