SMU, NUS, NTU, SIM etc etc etc...

Economics, how different is it from these various institution? The content that we learn from classes cannot be that much different from each other right? Just like eqns in sciences, every engineer has to learn the same eqns that derives the same ans. This is the mainstream right?

the straits time published SMU economics graduates earning the highest pay. My professor said that SMU students may not be as bright as NTU or NUS students but their outspokeness stands out. Will that change in a couple of years? I believe so. I truly feel that SMU has come about from a good technique, by distinguishing themselves as a institution that provides a form of education system that is different from the other more native way, and by attracting students slowly. They have managed to break the oligoly and join in the party. As the more good grades students enter SMU and are exposed to the skills that distinguishes SMU students from NUS and NTU students, what will come out from SMU i believe are graduates who are know their stuff, as well as know how to present their stuff pretty well.

While it is good to note the ambiguity with the statistics that MOE released, is the cohort of the number of graduates who took up economics similar to those in NTU and NUS? by right they should be the same, having taken up a course in statistics this semester it probably do not matter as much as to a statiscian.

In addition, the management in NTU economics has just recently changed. I believe that the system in NTU will slowly evolve, they must if they want to help their kids.

Ultimately, it is up to myself to want to do something about this. It is like showing you the door but you are the one who has to walk through it yourself. These informations and opportunity are presented to me. I can sit around and do nothing, whining and feeling sorry for myself, or i can make a change in my life and do something about it. Now is not the time to wait for something to happen anymore.
