Is a Business Administration degree still useful and relevant in today's society? Is it too general with little/no specialisation? Thinking if I should go for a Computing degree (no passion)?

Which degree would put me in a better position to get a job in the future? What other considerations should I have before deciding which course to enrol in?

It really depends on what you intend to do as a career. If you have no passion in Computing, likelihood is that you will not enjoy studying it and will end up not wanting it as a career. Some Business Admin degrees (e.g. NTU) allows for specialisation from Year 2 onwards, so you have the whole of Year 1 to try the different modules and see what you like before you specialise in Year 2. With the specialisations (e.g. Banking & Finance, HR), the degree will still be relevant to employers.

Do you think Singapore is ready to be a 100% cashless society? Personally, I still use a mixture of cash and cashless payments but think it will take more than 5 years before becoming fully cashless?

We are moving towards a cashless society. do you think that by going cashless, we actually spend our money faster as compared to if we use physical cash to do transactions?
