i studied for about 1 yr + in jc... during 2nd yr i applied in the DAE to SP and i was sure i got in the course. when i got the confirmation that i got the course in poly, i quit jc.. it was about march in my jc 2nd yr... nothing much la..
most things ur doing by yourself de... go poly also not many friends cuz most are younger than u. by the time u going 3rd yr, ur ex classmates already gone to uni / jus graduated from 3rd yr looking for job le... wat do u think about this?
i cant say i love my course but im glad i did what i did and i dont regret quitting jc and joining poly. i still have lots of friends but mostly they're busy in NS, going overseas for vacation after poly 3rd yr exams and some are in uni studying hard for exams
i guess that's all about my lil' story -

I believe no matter whether are u a poly grad, JC grad or an ITE grad, there is a place in society for u. But if you are going to think in a manner like 'sim wong hoo was from poly & look where he is now?' or 'even if u have masters, so wat?', u are not being fully aware about this society.Originally posted by MRMUSICPRODUCER:sim wong hoo was from poly & look where he is now? so wat if u go jc? or even grad from uni? sch is only a platform. working is diff. even if u have masters, so wat? u can b working 4 a o lvl grad who got more guts & far sight. take it easy pal
U got to agree that a JC grad going to a university will have more opportunities in life and a normal poly graduate. The social hierachy was designed this way so that the JC grads are the elites. Whereby the poly is there primarily to give other brands of students an opportunity in life.
In this society where political correctness is much more important than ignorance, no one would like to highlight the existence of this awful hierachy. But if u are to dismiss this hierachy, you are being myopic.
Im not trying to say the poly system produces inferior students. I would disagree with myself if i have made such a statement. To highlight the point on incentives. ask urself why the majority of poly students with a diploma recieve a lower starting pay as compared to a university grad. Why?
To paint a picture of the hierachy, ask urself why is there pre-university seminar and Temasek seminar for pre-university students and not poly students, why majority of the pre-u students make it into the university under the system and not poly students? Why pre-u students are opened to more opportunites in securing a study-award than any poly graduate making into the university?
Like it or not, different incentives and hierachy orders are will bolted into our society. It is the unevitable effect of a meritocratic society.
Although there are high flyers whom prefer to take the poly route, u got to agree that the majority of the poly students do not meet the minimum citeria for a pre-university education. In another words, pre-u students in average score better than the average poly students. If there is an equal opportunity for both students ceteris paribus, is it fair for jc students?
There are inspirational stories about Sim Wong Hoo whom is worth taking note off. He will be a inspirational figure for all poly grads to know that as long as you work hard, u have a chance to be successful. In order words, there are opportunities for poly grads out there too. Inspirational it may be, do not allow such thoughts to fool u into thinking that 1) JC students are inferior, 2) so what if you go JC. The fact that there are not many sim wong hoo proves that the thoughts are stupid.
No point talking about Sim Wong Hoo and i counter with a Lee Hsien Loong. To effectively make a comparison, who look at the majority and the average of each lot. Like it or not, average University grads will recieve higher pay and better promotion citerias than average poly grads. Who make up most of the university grads? The JC students of course.
Dont be fooled into saying 'so what if you have a master degree'. You gave a possible scenario of this worker whom has a master degree working for a O level grad. Nice scenario to paint ur point, but how true is this? How many of such scenario u can find as compared to the opposite. If master degree is a so what? Are u being unfair to those whom spent so much of their time studying, trying to earn a future?
I know there are people out there whom are willing to tear my argument down. I know i have touched on a sensitive issue. But if u touch ur heart and open up ur eyes, that is the awful truth. -
To the topic of this discussion. To the forumner whom drop out of jc, i would in my greatest sincerity wishes u all the best in all ur endeavor and since u had choosen this route, make full use of the opportunities ahead.

actually i think both jc and poly train you in different ways. Poly is good cos their students are more prepared for the practical working world; very specialized stuff that they teach.
jc more general and book-based.
if you want a more real-world feel, i think Poly is better.
God bless with your studies! -
Nothing better than the "School of Hard-Knock", we are all successful graduates from there.

If u take the jc route and don't make it to a uni,then u would be worse of than a poly grad, (i.e. diploma commands a better wage than an A level cert in society)
A poly diploma effectively prepares and equips one to enter the workforce in society. JC education does not, simply because a diploma is a specialized education, while an A-level cert isn't. So you can't really compare the two education systems in society. There's a reason why JC is called pre-university education.
