Which course to choose for Poly?
-
personally I’ll recommend you to do a general IT diploma and specialise later (in uni or take a professional certifications). It’ll leave you with more career options.

Anyone can advise on this :
Applied food science & nutrition in Temasek Poly and Food science & nutrition in Nanyang Poly, what is the main different and which is better ?

Just choose the school nearer to home. Doesn't make sense wasting time travelling. The difference between the two courses is insignificant. -

Hello there. Since both of them are relatively similar courses, choose the one that is nearer to your house. Precious time spent on travelling can be used to sleep for a few minutes more/study.
I live in the East and actually travels to YCK everyday and I find it quite tiring because I have to wake up as early as 6am for 8am lessons. It's really tiring in the long run because you wake up early and reach home late. By the time I've reached home, i will be too tired to do my homework! -
Choose something that you will really like and where your interests lies in.
Do not be like me, I went from molecular biotechnology to nursing! -

Yes, that's true. With a diploma, you can find a job and start working. -

Many well paid jobs do require a degree. It really depends on your definition of good enough to survive. Think about what kind of life style would you want to have. There is a growing number of university graduates. Think about how to compete with them. How about the foreign talent? -

It is good to work towards a degree eventually. I do see very experienced people having to report to noob superior just because the latter has higher qualifications. Some company also don't promotewithin organisation and if you are employed as adipolma grad, you can't take degree job. .in my line previously, our academic portfolio eg dipolma or degree is one of the criteria to determine how much project value we can handle. Imagine also doing same amount of work, or more than your degree peers, but paid few hundreds lower because you are diploma holder.lobo:

Always good to upgrade. Diploma is a good start too, nevertheless . -
Is the Poly engineering diploma very adaptable in a sense that there are always jobs available for it in various fields ? If so, which engineering diploma is the most adaptable?
