These are my choices, are they any good? And I'm pretty sure that the Aerospace courses will be hard to get in since there are so many people applying for it.
Also, can someone tell me the related courses available in poly if I can get a 3.5 GPA in Social Media and Web Development? It says that if you have 3.5 GPA you can go related poly courses but I checked and there isn't any, only Information Technology in higher nitec.
1. Aerospace Avionics
2. Aerospace Technology
3. Aerospace Machine Technology
4. Social Media and Web Development
5. Security Technology
6. Service Skills (Office)
Go Aerospace. But aerospace in poly will be harder to get in aerospace in universities.
Office skills progress to higher nitec. If u get 3.5 and above for your nitec course, u can progress to poly. Cherish the chance in these 2 years as if u don't make it to poly within 2 years, u will matriculate in poly in 4 years time. I can tell u, better dun go IT course in poly.
Go engineering. But i want to tell u that engineering is much more dangerous as u will be using the tools. (sharp)
IT course = office job, however during ur education in IT diploma, there will be a lot of teamwork.
IT = use computer, when using computer in poly, students are not focus in learning, they surf the net and do other things.
i am studying IT diploma in poly. That's why i can tell u in this diploma, people usually play computers during lessons. Besides this, they also don't listen in class. (summarized everything)
In IT course, there will be a lot of teamwork, group assignment.
office skills is not really that useful as it will cause u to enroll in poly in 3 years time. Fortunately, if u manage to get in Business higher nitec, and progress to BIZ course in poly, it will be better. The thing is BIZ in poly is not easy to get in. However, BIZ in uni require 3.73 right now which is very high. IF u go aerospace, u can still progress to aerospace, but it will not be in ntu,nus, or sutd. IT will be Singapore Institute of Technology. AEROSPACE IN NTU, don't usually accept poly students.
GO aerospace and study every day during ur 2 years in ITE. U can progress to aeronautical. However, 1 thing to tell u is AEROSPACE also has a lot of teamwork assignment.
U can go SIT if u cannot make it to local uni.
Office skill does not allow u to progress to poly even if u get 4 gpa.
AEROSPACE and IT course in poly require massive amount of teamwork, especially for IT. I am studying in IT, thats why i know. web development = a lot of coding. If u like coding, then choose IT Coding is boring and difficult, just to let u know. U need software to develop the application.
And also, IT always change. In other words, what u learn now might not be the same as 10 years later. Some 2 cents worth.
Check this site for the job. http://www.careercompass.gov.sg/Pages/OccupationDetail.aspx?SectorID=101&OccupationName=Software+Engineer
Go to NUS, NTU and smu website to search for INDICATIVE GRADE PROFILE. IT will tell u the minimum score to enroll in UNI.
Engineering in UNI require 3.5. IT degree oso 3.5. (currently)

Engineering will be better if u dun wish to re learn all programming language. IT course require u to program the application.
This is what u looking for.

PROGRESS TO POLY COurse list.
All the aerospace are techinians. They fix the planes.
Social media and web development <- I dont think you can do much with it at nitec level.
Security Technology <- nothing much. Security loh! cameras ...
Office skills is particularly useless, because every one knows how to use microsoft office and do some basic administration work.
I suggest go to do IT and become a IT support. Confirm, got a job for you.
