I'm an stpm 2010 sc stream student. took physics and loved it. just done with my stpm few months ago. having a dilemma between engineering and business. sounds odd but I have some sort of affection towards the business field. I've been told of the minimal job opportunity about engineering graduate. I'm a little worried here and hope to get more advice. Is it advisable to even put business as one of my choice? hope to get some advice biggrin.gif

I once thought of being sick with the science stream altogether after F6. Got fed up with science (physics in particular) and thought that a change of field can be fun. Wanted to do sociology (I know, *shrugs* right? haha). Had a long conversation with a lot of people including my dad. Some were supportive of me doing something non-science, some were skeptical. In the end when I applied for university I applied all Engineering courses, because I decided better not play a fool with degree and stick with what I know. Mainly because I do not like to be tested on writing stuff.

And now I'm sooooo glad I stuck with the engineering path. Hard to believe I was once one step away from doing foundation in psychology.

There isn't a lot of point in this post of mine. But you need to sit down with your sponsor (nice word for your dad) and talk it through. Normally he will knock some sense into you.

Regarding job opportunity, engineers are the most versatile workers there can be. Banks recruit engineers too, though not before they send them off to a training scheme.

And you mentioned you love physics. It would be heart breaking to see you try study business. When I was making my choice, I found my dad's business-related books that he used during his university days. One page of it was all it took to convince me to do engineering.

I prefer this quote:

Scientists study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been. - Theodore von Karman
