You're welcome, blobbi! So many inputs, I'm slowing going thru them.If I'm not wrong, Actuarial Science qualifications can also be gained on the same basis as the ACCA and Law.

I thought SAT is used to determine who's admitted only if 2 candidates have the same A level scores.
I am also in same situation with my Elder daughter. She is yet to find anything that interests her. We are thinking of asking to take one year off & work. there is a danger of losing days to day study routine , but it is worth .
Another option is appear for SAT exam & score well above 1900 to get into Info tech / Acountancy course in SMU... SMU recognizes the SAT scores & offsets for low A level grades -
mrswongtuition:
Thankyou, Mrs Wong for sharing.Another thing to note:
Do contact the foreign university to confirm the 'partnership' and when it expires.
I'm currently doing this because my sister wants to do her private diploma then quickly take private degree and start working (family business needs help).
So far found a few private schools which we've decided not to take based on our research and personal experience.
Another alternative is to go to poly or just go and work first, then apply to UniSIM (SG's 4th Uni). It's an adult open uni. Criteria is must be working or at least 2 years work experience plus above 21 yo.
With some work experience, your child will be better able to really decide what they want in future too. Now they may be undecided and don't understand what they really want and what real life working world is like.
This option is also cheaper because it is SUBSIDIZED by SG Govt for Singaporeans.
If your child is thinking of taking design courses, choose courses that require them to travel over to the uni issuing their degrees for at least a month (some are for 2-4 months). This is important exposure for the field of study.
Another option is distance learning. My friend did this option while being a SAHM with 2 kids and preggie with third. She had to travel to Aus for 2 weeks for exams though.
And another thing to check: Do govt agencies recognise that degree? If yes, then it's rather safe
E.g. My friend got a degree from UOL via SIM Global Education. She's working in govt dept now and they recognise her degree. -

I wish I knew.Mathsparks,
Where is her interest?sleepy:
Totally agree with ya, sleepy. Being a ptwm, I fully agree that work life balance is important especially for mothers.
My humble opinion, I wouldn't recommend this career path to my kids. Despites its good career prospect, there's just too much overtime due to the nature of the job. Most of my peers were working crazy hours too and quite a number had since left the industry to be SAHMs (including myself). Once we have young children, it's very difficult to achieve work life balance. -

Fire away, 2ppaamm.
Hope I can help. -
Is law school suitable for an early entrant? Like only 14 years old but has all the qualifications?
