Many taxi drivers told me they are from polytechnic. Some even electronic in computer engineering. But now driving taxi.

Conclusion, polytechnic are a school for training taxi drivers

not that there is no job. but those guarding the door for foreigner to be here is not guarding it well.
the lots of retrenchment going on. only to let foreigner fill the vacant.

jobs created should first go to local then foreigner.
during covid 19 close door where local can easier to find jobs. an india indian here interviewed to find the reason not to employ. so that he can keep it for his india indian. there are money behind the scene. go investigate around i no spread story. when government jobs are given to indian firm when the bid cheap cheap. local security is compromised.

also got cases where local got the job then got turn down then indian company come to make offer for the same job. you think what happen behind?

i am not against indian. i have indian friends that i grow up with. i play marbles, ball hitting people together. imported indian are different from local indian. they are mix class of people. they bring beautiful gifts to visit higher position. culture that is no no here.

Well it shows that you are so behind ..... networking is low grade "IT" job
Now, fresh Data Analyst/Data Sci entry level is 4.5k with degree
2-3 years experience with master entry level 5-6K
5 years and above easily 10k without a blink of an eye
entry level network engineer .... lucky to get 3k ......  Laughing

that Y many useless engineers now, when u dun know the basic of network routing, u are only a high level slave as a cloud engineers 

those with master cant even configure an Oracle database


RE: Polytechnic training taxi drivers - maddog - 07-08-2023

Lunch time took another taxi, the driver told he he has nus degree.

He came out do own business for a few years after 40 year old, then can't find job after business failed.

I am not a engineer. I used AWS cloud when I set up my personal website not need any DB set up. Nowadays hosting platform all drag and drop remotely. Just a few engineer in a DC no need many.

that y ur website have limited speed, enough for SME only, not  enterprise. Because it dun entity-relationship design for optimum speed, 

ur database it most likely base on blob

Big enterprise will have their own private cloud shared with all entity as such, no need many network engineer. Many network engineers are jobless nowadays ... next is system engineers ....


RE: Polytechnic training taxi drivers - Goldmine - 10-08-2023

Wasting taxpayers money to have such training in our Polytechnics. Our polytechnic becoming a joke.

Cannot says like that Poly cannot be the end of the education journey rather a platform to your degree, master or PHD.
Nowadays those FTs especially from PRC, they come with multiply masters and PHDs to compete with you
My colleague she has a Master in Finance, insurance and PHD in mathematics.


RE: Polytechnic training taxi drivers - Goldmine - 10-08-2023

We even have service providers offering training skills in general cleaning under skill futures fund training. I also can provide such training.  Laughing

ur r wrong, network engineer can be cloud engineer in a flash

but cloud engineers cannot be network engineer instantly

not enough to be a network engineer

but network engineers knowledge helps them learn cloud engineering in a breeze as it is a high level of network engineering
