QUOTE(evanesence117 @ Oct 25 2008, 05:59 PM) 1st year, 1 or 2 of my classmates have already applied. But which do u reckon is a better deal, the 1 by speedwing or the 1 by out of the box?? ic... I m not sure bout tat... from wat my fren told, OOTB is more organised (bcoz of less ppl join), speed wing more ppl join (may b more fun?)....

QUOTE(eXPeri3nc3 @ Oct 25 2008, 11:02 PM) Basically I think if you're no longer Year 1 don't go for the WAT programme. It's a bloody waste of time. i dun agree wif u, u only need to spend 1 summer break for internship. u may use your year 2 summer break to do internship, then year 1 and/or year 3 can go for work and travel, even can go again when year 4 (if applicable)... It's lots of fun and it's a life experience... I reckon it would be better if you do some internship programme or some sort.

You will get to know alt of ppl if you follow speedwing... compared to outofthe box .. For year 2009, our summer break will only start on end of the May, mayb till mid Sept...Anyone going for 5 months there ? ... if yes, pls msg me ... we might able to travel together to look out each other ^^ our summer break is from mid may till mid sept This post has been edited by stupid904: Oct 26 2008, 01:43 AM |

Of course, it's up to you on how to use your time. Added on October 26, 2008, 2:15 pm QUOTE(eXPeri3nc3 @ Oct 26 2008, 12:26 PM) You think you can really enjoy out there? Seems u had some bad experience bout tat... Depends on where you end up with and whether you like the job or not. And your motive to go there at the first place. (Tho most of my friends that went there go for money and experi3nc3 that's about it)  mind 2 share~? This post has been edited by stupid904: Oct 26 2008, 02:16 PM |

QUOTE(raymones89 @ Oct 26 2008, 01:28 PM) I think it would be more towards experience. Might not have the chance in the future. It really depend... If u willing to working OT, or 2nd job, then u'll earn bac the fee... For some job tat have high tipping like restaurant server or assistant, u oso hv high chance 2 earn bac even without OT and 2nd job... We can earn by working there? I thought even the fees are already a few thousands? But at the end of the day, it also very depend on how u spend in travelling... |
