Degree vs. Skills: Does a University Education Still Guarantee Career Success in Singapore?

Think it is still a minimum for most corporate jobs.

Depends on companies and industries too

A degree helps you at the starting point of your career. How your career grows and develops subsequently depends a lot on what you can offer the company (skillset) as well as your character (different professions require individuals of certain characters).

Definitely not. last time perhaps it used to cos there are few people with university education. these days, almost everyone is at least a degree holder.

you need to find ways to differentiate yourself (which honestly is not easy). if you look great it helps cos not everyone can end up looking great. LOL
