honestly i dont believe all this salary hype.it is really circumstantial.even though teachers get higher starting pay,it plateaus like at 5-6k? and notice doctors are not on the list,that is cos they are busy slogging away in housemanship at a miserable 2.5k a month while clocking in 24/7 plus on call.that is even worse than a nurse.but then i suppose that is what initiation is about :/

5.NUS Science – $2,500 ($2,600) test tube washers.i warned you.told u have to at least get a PhD to do proper research....everyone in a*star has a phD.seriously i went for the talk with my senior before.
6.NUS Arts – $2,500 ($2,600) i think the only thing feasible to study in the arts is economics and social science.the rest is bullcrap :O i mean what can u do with philosophy?literature? besides being a snotty aristocrat or teacher of course.but then so many people want to be teachers,i just want to be left out of the rat race.

Top Permanent Employment Rate (in brackets are the average salaries)

1.NUS Nursing – 100.0% ($2,568) yeah nurses are in shortage and pretty rare.it is not popular cos perhaps of the salary and association as being secondary roles in the healthcare industry (ancillary support side) but i guess it is meaningful if one is more compassionate and less ambitious.not like doctors who coldly diagnose stuff and move on.
2.NTU Science (with Education) – 100.0% ($3,030)
3.NTU Arts (with Education) – 100.0% ($3,109)
4.NUS Dental Surgery – 100.0% ($3,176) if i had no interest and had exemplary dexterity of my slender digits,i would go for this.but i am not good with microscopic operations ( okay lah mouth not very small but u know what i mean)
5.NTU Chinese – 98.0% ($2,756) cos no one wants to teach chinese XD
6.NUS Business Administration (Accountancy) – 97.1% ($2,448)

13.NUS Civil Engineering – 92.9% ($2,801) low intake rate and high demand? but then how much can you earn by coordinating traffic lights.LOL.for me engineering is.chem engine=oil! mech engine=car!handphone cover! aero engine=airplane/helicopter! civil=traffic lights! EE=handphone battery! was never very much of a technical person :S

out of boredom i baked a lemon cheesecake,practised guitar for my exam,scolded by teacher for random things,got nagged at by mum,watch a new legal drama DROP DEAD DIVA (only 13 episodes cant wait for the second season) in preparation for my law interview,yeah as if,and worried again about uni admission :/i have no letters yet! i think they will only come in mid may,after all the interviews are cleared.im left with the terrible thoughts that i would get rejected by all the unis i applied and left with my backupchoices ( namely,SMU business and FASS)


i have strategically positioned my choices to my merits,( yes the ultra power med-law combi,some may think im insane but i think pharm/dentistry dont really work for me so ya.and it would be revenge against ms ow for never letting me on the debate team.
