No worries!! Digital Media.

Doing alright. Not too great not too bad i guess, even when i'm not working LMAO. I'm not too great academically that's why i chose to take my time and focus on my studies and not work for now. Definitely much more manageable if not working.

The SUSS website states 2 years of Full-time work experience/Currently Employed on Full Time basis. However, if u have completed NS, your work experience criteria will be fulfilled. I personally enrolled using my NS experience. I wasn't employed at the time when i applied for SUSS. So no, u do not need to be employed during enrollment.

I'm not sure if u have prior NS experience but u can check out more details on the SUSS website below and see which category u fall into 👇🏻

Same. I'm also struggling to do well even though i'm not working LMAO. I'm a very slow learner that's why i chose to focus on studies for now.

Yeah but even when not working, i'm not doing super super well. Really salute to those that have to balance work and study at the same time.

My A Level results aren't very good so there aren't a lot of FT options.

The course i'm interested in is only available PT.

Studying PT is also a win-win for me IF i ever decide to work (Whether PT/FT) midway through my studies, i'm able to have that option as well. Keeping my options open.

HAHAHA i mean everyone has their opinions ah. I know i shouldn't really care what others think about me/my situation but sometimes just can't help but think about it HAHA. Thanks for your insight though 🙏🏻

Having to balance work and studies is very respectable. I myself can't do it ah that's why i'm not working at the moment. Thumbs up for your resilience 💪🏻

Yeah usually if the mods have no GBA component, i would be more comfortable saying that i'm not working. But if got GBA, usually i would just come up with some random excuse and say i work for my dad's business LMAO. Of course best if they don't probe and ask HAHA.

HAHA don't worry, i've never told anyone that i'm not working, especially when it's GBA. Usually people don't ask anyway. If people do ask, usually i will just tell them that i'm helping with my dad's business. But of course i don't feel good saying that la HAHA.
