Serious Less Than Half The Sinkie Grads From Local Degree Mills Can Find PMET Jobs!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - Fresh graduates from private schools continue to fall behind their counterparts from public universities, even as more of them are doing part-time work, a survey on employment outcomes has found.

Nearly half of them - 47.4 per cent - found full-time permanent work six months after finishing their studies, compared with 78.4 per cent for their peers from three publicly-funded universities - the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU).

They also fared worse than post-national service polytechnic graduates, who recorded a 64 per cent full-time employment rate.

The survey released on Tuesday (April 3) by the Committee for Private Education also found that the private school graduates earned median gross starting salaries of $2,650 a month, below the $3,400 for graduates of NUS, NTU and SMU. Post-NS polytechnic graduates took home $2,480 a month.

Some 37 per cent of 10,171 private school students who graduated from full-time external degree programmes between May 2016 and April 2017, responded to the survey conducted from November last year to February. Of the respondents, 2,800 were fresh graduates.

They were asked about their employment status six months after finishing their final examinations, including the nature of their jobs and starting salaries. It is mandatory for all private education institutions offering external degree programmes to take part in the survey.

A total of 42 private schools took part in the exercise, of which 30 had graduates from full-time external degree programmes.

The survey showed that, overall, 79 per cent of fresh private school graduates were employed - full-time, part-time, or on a temporary or freelance basis within six months of finishing their examinations. This compares with the 88.9 per cent overall employment rate of graduates from public universities.

It’s not true the few China Mei Mei at my block told me at night they work as GRO day time they study at MDIS. That’s a managerial job.

Most of their classmates are also having similar jobs.

I knew many MDIS private university graduates are doing well in their career and earning a median salary of $5000 a month.

Most of them started off as partial O level holders and did not even qualify for local Polytechnic.

In life, one must be able to strive out a career on its own.

All the jobs have gone to Pinoys and Shitskin, courtesy of the prime minister you voted for.

Younger Sinkies must be prepared to worker harder to acquire necessary skills and knowledge. Be versatile to take on more job functions to gain valuable working experience.

Do not feel inferior to anyone if you are private university graduate. Do your best in your job functions and do not job hop unnecessary.

By staying long in with one employer and acquiring the needed seniority. You will be seriously consider for a promotion and pay hike :p

What's the context? Are they in their 30s? If u are in your 30s, have a degree and still earning $5k, u are sad!

 

[Robert Half]

If I am a private university graduate, in my 30s and currently earning $5000 a month. I am happy and contented because I had made enough to feed my family while my other mainstream degree peers are still struggling to find a job
