Plan of career path for your children

[kohjl]

daisyt:

Hi kohjl, I really envy you, you have a perfect child that all parents would dream of ..... :love:

Thank you, daisyt....ah.....but you don't know about my other two younger sons..... :x Not so \"kwai\"! Every child is different and I guess our role as parents is to help each child reach his/her potential.

kohjl:

Just my suggestion; you best know your son! Hope that helps.

Thanks for the advise. We have met the form teachers but still considering meeting the other subject's teacher to understand his progress in RI. Can I know if your son is a GEP student?

hey(:


i’m a current rgs girl, sec 2 this year.
I have to select my subject combi next year, but I’m not sure what to choose.
I’m definitely going for trip science, but I’m not sure which humaninities to take-- geography or history? no lit for me, because I’m really bad at it.
right now, I’m quite certain that my ambition is to become a doctor (a paediatrician), and in case I am unable to reach that, I have a 2nd choice(:— I wish to work in ministry of foreign affairs, so I would want to study international relations/political science.

hmm but which humanities subject should I take? right now, i’m better in history (gpa 4.0), geog is 3.6. however, I’m think I might be able to score better for geog in a levels’ than history, because much of history is about essay writing, whereelse for geog, esp. physical geog, it is more technical:- knowing the process of nature etc.

actually i’m more interested in history now, but I’m not sure if I would like that next time.(maybe I would like geog…)

what do you suggest?/any experience to share? I have talked to my parents about this, and they don’t really mind which subject I take.

thanks!

hi ct27, how about local Unis ? NTU, NUS, SMU, do you have any idea their selection ? How about in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, what are the subjects most suitable to choose ? Does relevant and good CCA records help ? Thanks

[daisyt]

hi ct27, thanks a lot for your comments and views. I have heard of my colleague’s sister, to apply the local Unis for Accountancy, also need to go for interview.


And if the CCA is relevant to the course in mind and achievements in the CCA in terms of National Award, Inter-School award, do you think this is a added point even for the UK system like our Singapore Unis ? Eg. infocomm or robotics ==> com science / com engrg ?

[daisyt]

Start to think about it, why schools are asking the kids to spend 6 hours of CCA per week ? Its really a lot of time ..... :? I wonder ....
