Unless you're in the government sector, I'm not sure how useful it can be...the usefulness is dependent on how u interpret the final takeaway. I felt that what were covered in my undergrad were v much tactical for work. as for postgrad, it's about the "why the tactic works (or not)". more strategic rather than tactics. not sure how others feel though coz perhaps diff fields have diff takeaways? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluerunner Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Some ppl find it tough at the beginning, some find it tough towards the end. Some find the middle part is worst. Whatever is your reason, bear in mind that you need to bite the bullet and press on. Life is gonna get better there after. Singapore is a "paper oriented" society. With so many degree holders around, having something extra will do you no harm. However, we must not forget that the Masters or PhD can only give you a better starting point. How you run your race is still up to you. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdownunder Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I got my PhD from the UK and couldn't find a suitable job in Singapore. So I left for Sydney as a suitable job in my area came up there. It's been 9 years and no regrets. Sometimes you got to be a bit flexible and be prepared to move around a bit of there are no jobs in yourindustry. Btw my PhD is in health. It's a fallacy to think that there are a lot of jobs in health. blowmenow, Heyjude007 and confused_indie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdownunder Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 The three years in the lab were not easy. You just got to motivate yourself somehow. I motivated myself by thinking about the HORRIBLE time I had during my NS days. That kept me going.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very very very ultimately small field of study, with very very few people doing it.Currently there's Dundee, Adelaide, Perth & Leuven in Belgium but they're all 1-year programmes (we need to do 3-year masters programme in order to be registered as a specialist here in Malaysia). There's a lot of dental schools in India that offer 2-year programme but I ain't going there haha. Currently waiting for an offer from Leuven, will continue with PhD if masters results are good (will come back to teach eventually). Are you in medical? Where are you doing your masters?

playhard Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 It is okay guys. When I did my MPhil by research, I faced 4 tough personal chair prof as supervisors. I thought I was climbing a steep slope mountain that has no peak. But wala it was over and done with. And I am still surviving and standing. So keep pushing yourself to extend your limits.
