But for French prosecutor Eric Maillaud, the argument 11 months before the shooting remains a valid line of inquiry. He told me: We cannot find another member of the family who would have wanted rid of Saad apart from Zaid. Zaid Al Hilli, broth...
it's really up to you to craft your path down the road, and also your onus to do things that will increase your chances of earning a high amount of money too. thirdly, i would like to talk about the supposed 'prestige' of different schools. i feel almost infuriated when i see mindless comments/posts on reddit stating how for instance, ntu computer science is 'BAD' and nus cs is 'GOOD'. these baseless opinions are rarely ever substantiated with good elaborations, and most of these commenters are led to believe this falsehood just because ntu's cs igp is a little lower than nus' cs igp. this brings us back to the first point where students apply BLINDLY to courses either because they like the prestige associated with it, or because the cop is high. both are disgustingly weak reasons, and honestly selfish actions when these top scorers deprive the students who are actually passionate about the subject of a placing, but scored a little lower than them, because universities admit based on meritocracy once again.
henceforth, read more about the differences in curriculum between the different schools and choose one that you will enjoy more, or offer the specialisation that you desire. never NEVER choose a school/course just because the cut off is high, that speaks volumes about your elitist mindset as well. good luck answering this question if you're interviewed for these courses. to round this sorta rant off, i hope that this batch of jc/poly/ib etc. graduates will truly ask themselves what they want to pursue in the future, rather than be influenced by the 'prestige' that our society seems to have towards the degrees with higher cops. parental influence is another factor as well, but you just gotta ask yourself whether you want to live out your parents' wishes instead of your own interests and life. cheers and good luck for results next friday!
Just be honest but not brutally. It shows them you have integrity. They are looking for people who won't just BS them. I. e. I was shit with Linux before my job. I told my employer, I have limited Linux experience most of my work is in Linux servers but I am willing to learn and hopefully pick it up quickly, and I did. But, I followed that up with my strengths in other relatable areas, such as network security, coding languages, etc
really do ask yourself what you enjoy studying or what you want to become in the future, especially for girls as we only have one chance in application. (unless you are doing a gap year) it is a lot more advisable to do some self-actualisation and realise that you are not meant to become a lawyer/doctor/dentist than to regret further into the degree. too many peers around me have made this exact mistake, and i do not want you guys to do the same as well. secondly, one may question the ability to earn money/get a high-paying job if they were to major in something that they have interest in, but does not pay well. this is true to some extent, especially with the stereotype about how fass grads can't find jobs lmfao! but seniors and profs always say that as long as you're very good at what you do, the money will come definitely. it's more about honing skills that will make you competitive in the workplace, rather than the degree itself. there have been countless fass grads who go on to earn tons of money in various jobs, from entrepreneurs to professors in academia etc.
I knew I wanted to accelerate and my goal was to finish in two terms. After completing 6-8 classes during that first month, I knew that I could finish in one term if I kept my head down cranked through it. So I did. I took a few weeks off in September to get married, but other than that, I lived and breathed WGU. I submitted my capstone in November and my official graduation date was December 1st. I then spent about five days perfecting my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile before applying for jobs. I applied to about 60 jobs and got a lot of no responses, and a few phone screens that didn't turn into anything. A recruiter reached out to me because of my resume on and set up a phone interview for me. I put a pause on applying for new jobs and instead focused on interview preparation. I typed out answers to common interview questions (greatest strengths/weaknesses, stuff like that) and then created a "cheat-sheet" of my answers to reference during the interview. It ended up being a Zoom call with three managers and I didn't even need to look at my cheat-sheet because I'd spent so much time thinking about and writing down my answers.
I'm pretty sure I aced it. Whether I actually aced it or just barely scraped by, I got the second, technical interview. I started brushing up on my Java concepts and doing leetcode problems (and not very well - even some "easy" problems are really tough). The interview came I was terrified. This one was a Zoom call with six technical managers. They quizzed me for half an hour on Java and Android concepts, then asked the generic interview questions for the remaining 15 minutes. I felt like I did OK. Two hand-wringing days later, on Dec 31st, I got a call and was offered a software engineering position at $35 an hour!! I start in two weeks! The future: I feel like I've finally "made it" and won't ever have to worry about money again. My wife has a good job and we've always split expenses 60-40 (though realistically it's more like 70-30). She's been happy with that arrangement, but I've always felt guilty about it. We've agreed to flip the ratio for a few years, and I've never been more excited to pay more for something.
hello guys!! uni apps season is just around the corner, and i've been observing lots of posts on sgexams about not wanting to go to a certain course in a certain uni because it is LESS prestigious than another. another common phenomenon is wanting to apply BLINDLY to prestigious courses (ie. law/med/dent/com sci) just because they want to fully utilise their good grades. i do understand that prestige is important to some extent because generally prestigious universities do look better on your cv, so that may improve employability, but after you've come into uni you will realise that rankings/prestige of uni or course really doesn't matter much at all. firstly, i would like to address the group of you who have put in the effort (or not) and obtained amazing grades in the A-levels. when results are released next friday, i hope you will at least remember some portion of this post so as to make your life happier and easier in the future. if you've scored around 85-90rp, good job!! that is a really commendable feat and shows a high degree of perseverance and time management abilities, as well as aptitude for the subjects.
I'm finally able to pay off debt, put money into savings, AND have some leftover spending cash! At the start of 2020, I'd have laughed at you if you told me where I'd be now. WGU made this possible and this subreddit has been SUPER helpful in getting my degree. Thanks, everybody!
A bit of background: Since I was a child, I've loved computers and always said that I wanted to grow up to be a programmer. I studied computer science at a state university for a few years, before dropping out and eventually going to culinary school. I had a successful career as a chef, but eventually got fed up with the terrible work-life balance and even worse pay. I didn't know where I wanted my career to go, but I knew I had to get out of restaurants, so I quit. Luckily, I was able to quickly find an IT-related job making $18 an hour. It was a slight pay cut, but I didn't care as long as I didn't have to work 70 hours per week anymore (at a salaried position, so my hourly pay was less than minimum wage). I got laid off in the spring due to COVID and was once again without a job and not really having a clear picture of what I wanted to do. I started a programming course on Udemy just for fun and eventually thought, "why don't I just go back to school for this? " WGU and the job search: After researching schools and finding WGU, I started the software development program on July 1st.
it is now time for you to decide on a course of your future studies! do some soul-searching. ask yourself, what did you enjoy in school? what do you enjoy outside of school? what is the university programme that would allow me to experience this fulfilment in the future? many uni profs and deans of the various faculties have mentioned against applying to courses just because they are 'prestigious' or have 'high cut-off points'. that is painfully childish of these group of people. if you really REALLY do feel that you will enjoy such a demanding course and enjoy this profession 10-20 years down the road, then by all means sure go ahead! however if you just like the IDEA of becoming a DOCTOR/LAWYER, then chances are you probably have not found the course that would allow yourself to flourish yet. what you should do is to gather more information about the degrees before blindly applying. there's a stark difference between actually liking the subject and liking the IDEA of studying for it.
