How Useless Is Your Degree?

[Norty]

Totally get where you're coming from. I had a similar experience, graduated with a degree, expected a clear career path, and ended up doing work that didn’t need the degree at all. What changed things for me was going through an electrical contractor school https://www.contractorsischool.com/contractors-license/electrical-contractors-license-c10 I got licensed, started my own thing, and finally saw real income and freedom.

It is not the degree that is useless.its the person having the degree.

Young punks these days still have the mindset that if you get a good degree, you'll get a good stable job that will pay you reasonably well. Thanks to our fuck up education system. These mother fuckers will be in for a rude shock later on in life.

The problem of rising unemployment/underemployment among degree holders in S'pore is hardly surprising, as this has been a trend in developed economies for decades. First World countries struggling under massive amounts of debt are unable to generate enough jobs for the cluster of graduates entering the workforce every year. The situation is aggravated by the incompatibility between the content of university courses and the range of abilities required to fill job vacancies. The fact that the PAP has swung the doors wide open to foreigners (even CECAs with counterfeit degrees) further aggravates the situation for our young grads.

It is also depending on the government policy, if it doesn't protect the locals then CECA Indians always prevail, as they are the cheaper.and plentiful in supply.

Has a degree yet fails to ask the most pertinent question:

Who did I voted for?

It's not the degree...it's the marketable skills...
