Make A Decision

Some of us have clicked the “submit” button, which transmits the decisions on undergraduate course. In fact, every detail of those NUS departments and its branches has been explored by us. We seem to have uncovered all little secrets inside. In sharp contrast, some of us are still immersed in doubt and hesitation. Science or Engineering? It remains a one century problem. I’m not a technical guy ever, but I force myself to calm down and pursue engineering. My decision is more likely based on the comparison between science and technology. In addition, reality in NUS is also taken into my consideration.

I totally believe that in most fully industrialized nation, science course performs a vital role in society, especially in the government and management area. Technical guys’ possible careers are narrowed to design, repairing and controlling machines. I have to admit that most engineers face an embarrassing situation that they can only avoid starving to death but cannot live a rich life. In sharp contrast, those who hold a science degree like math can pursue a financial job. Thus, they are able to be millionaires.

However, the reality in NUS is that it is almost impossible to pursue an overseas master or PHD degree after the undergraduate course because of the bond and the treaty. For me, I would rather hunt a job instead of spending time conducting research. As a result, engineering became my choice.

Make a decision! Finally, it is believed that with effort, every dream is to come true. What is required on how to be a success is right besides our hands—homework and countless books!
