You don't know what you're talking about and you obviously have never lived outside of SG. The population of the USA is increasing because of one of the lowest number of outgoing citizens among developed nations and the highest number of migrants. The countries with declining populations are...

If you're British, why would you call the crappy shitass singapore universities "local universities" so instinctively? Its ok I give you benefit of the doubt. For a non Singaporean, you sure have lots of curiosity and interest in the country to patronize this forum.

Arrogant, perhaps. Truthful, definitely. The truth always hurts doesn't it? If there's "nothing wrong" with going to local university why did you NOT go yourself and why U spent 10 times more of your parents' money to go to Oxford?? Rubbish. Stop pretending to be egalitarian. Eating...

Where did he do his undergrad? Both universities are good for some departments. what is his reason for doing a PhD? if its because he thinks he can earn big bucks, I suggest you advise him that it will not happen. I know two NUS grads who went to do PhD. Both are working in the local...

If they were any good and not useless, they would have been overseas grads from the start. Are you saying you are not aware that there are many PhD students overseas, who did their undergrad ALSO overseas?! Haha Everyone knows also that its easy to get a PhD grant in a third rate...

FYI, real overseas grads ONLY consider those who attend overseas universities at undergraduate level as fellow overseas graduates.

Did you go to Oxford for your UNDERGRAD? Or are one of the many joker farmers who go to overseas to do a 9 mth course-based master's, many times in the department of a prestige school that isn't even renowned for that department in order to claim that they are "overseas grads" (they are NOT)...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games Farmer sinkies. Have a good look and wake up and see how long DONKEY LONG AGO First world countries have hosted the REAL OLYMPICS! Melbourne in 1956! USA in 1904. Paris in 1900 and London in 1908. SG is on par with Innsbruck and Nanking. So...

I feel amused everytime i meet a Sinkie who thinks hosting this masak masak joke for children = same standing as Sydney, London, Chicago, etc hahahaha. And for their info, Sydney, NY and London hosted theirs AGES AGO!!! FROM AS EARLY AS 40 YEARS AGO!! Its the developing and third world...

Actually out of all the rankings I see, local universities fare the same as this ranking. There is only 1 ranking that ranks NUS at 30 something. Judging from your kind of 'reasoning', I think that ranking is the one that 'skews' towards a 'focus of study'. Everyone knows that the useless...

A lot of Sinkie farmers do not know of Rice and other top universities. They also haven't heard of John Hopkins, Chicago or Carnegie Mellon. These people are from NUS and the other two farmer universities. They come from an intellectually starved and academically inferior background and all...

Nobody who's worth anything in Singapore gives a shit about local universities. BTW, where is SMU? Unranked right? So does it mean these rankings mean anything? NUS and the other 2 local universities are nothing but trashcans and dumping grounds to many Singaporeans in the top circles.

I'm amused by your post, because even before I logged in, I already wanted to say something, which incidentally directly answers you. No, I'm not comparing apples and oranges. I'm comparing tax systems. And its NOT TRUE that the countries I named have free education and free acceptable...

There are somethings strangely inaccurate about what you pasted above. First, it is a fact that Canada, Australia, NZ (and the US and UK btw) have far far higher tax rates. This applies to all the brackets- the top, high, middle and lower income earners. I'm not sure how much you earn, but...

Local degrees are on par with Aussie universities like QUT, RMIT, Curtin and James Cook University. They are below the standard of top Aussie universities like ANU, University of Melbourne, and University of Sydney. There is a huge disparity in standards between the top Aussie universities...

i agree with you that nus, ntu and smu degrees are worth the same as dogshit.

I understand what you have said. What I said however, is that, the pay after 4 yrs of audit experience is still considered under the market, and this is why it is one of the most useless but overrated degrees out there, but most students don't know this of cos, and by the time they do..it's too...

Read below. The highest average income per annum of a finance manager (MNC or what have you, doesn't impress us here) is about $120k at the average age of 38 (for women) and 40 (for men). Before that, its much less la but built up over the years. If you want to have an idea what I'm talking...

I'm in the HR line, so I'm more than certain and updated on remuneration packages, not to worry. The highest average income per annum of a finance manager (MNC or what have you, doesn't impress us here) is about $120k at the average age of 38 (for women) and 40 (for men). Before that, its much...

The reason why the pay is low and increment is high is because of the extremely high drop-out rate. So the big3 normally recruit in the thousands every year. This is common knowledge. Only 2 out of 10 of the audit recruits stay within the auditing "industry" after 3 years. The long hours and...
