the more i think about the course i wanna go in uni next ime.
only 2 courses come to my mind.

that is GEOG and/or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

now the next question comes into my mind.
what in the world are u gonna do with a geog degree?
ans: teacher/lecturer. NEA worker. met service. and civil servant in the stats department.
prob: i dun see myself as any of the above in 10-15 yrs time maybe other than a teacher/lecturer whose pay is stuck at a not so high yet not so low range of anywhere from a 3-10k?

soln: hence a double degree. to serve both practicality and interest. you get to learn what u like and have a backup plan in life, in terms of career opportunities.

so now comes the nxt set of problems:
1) to apply for such a program, according to the nus website, it says the candidate must achieve excellent grades in his A level examinations. (IYOW: score 4 A's)
2) so far in nus, ntu and smu their double degree programs are all BA and law/ec/engineering etc. all but those FASS courses which means no geog. apparently u can try to apply for it, success aint certain though...

soln:
get straight A's aka mug like hell now
pray hard
if the first prob is solved and the 2nd one cant be helped, overseas scholarship?
last option, dun even bother at all with geog :( life is made up of hard decisions and in e pragmatic society we are in now. practicality will have to take over passion. unless if sacrifices are to be made.
