Many Singaporeans chase after a degree. The government encourages us to upgrade our education and skills if we lost our job. Many Singaporeans heed the call and have taken this step. However, the fact remains that it is not a given that their paycheck will rise if a degree is gotten.
For example, management of people in sales, customer service will not bother if the person has got a degree or diploma or ITE certificate. All the company care is how much sales is done, how satisfied are the customers, how many customers are served today. For those in administration, operations, a new degree may mean additional responsibilities or new posting.
Thus, it will be wise that working Singaporean do not equate a newly gotten degree with a pay rise.
