I'm turning 24 and ORD-ing in November later this year. Any advice on whether I should go work or go for a private degree after NS?

I have a diploma in banking and finance but did not score too well, so I believe I can only go for a private degree. Stresses me out as I'm not too sure what I want study, or what are the prospects of going out to work with a diploma in banking and finance.

Why not both?

Work full-time and do your degree part time with night classes.

If you want to stay in the finance field, you can try junior positions in a local bank before finding your niche or specialisation within the industry or even deciding if you want to be front-end or back-end.

It's a big industry that wasn't toooo badly hit due to Covid-19 as compared to other industries.

I’m a 24 year old graduate. Should I quit my job as a private tutor (home-based, 40 students), earns me 6k and can develop into tuition ctr or find job that pays 3.5k? Money VS social life (since I work on nights and weekends, and I’m home-based)?

Should I get a degree? Current NSF with about 30k savings having a dilemma on whether to get a degree or work after ORD. Any advice?

I'm a 62 year old man going back to school to take a degree in linguistics. I'm financially stable, and it has always been my passion to teach. Anything I should consider before going on this journey?

I’m currently 25 years old and married but i’m serving NS with another year to go. Is it possible for me to apply for a BTO flat?

I am 22 yo this year. After working 1+ years, I've managed to save up about $10k. Planning to do my degree next year & thought of investing, but I might need that money to pay for a part of the school fees next year. Hope to receive some advice.?
