Investment in a degree or continuing education

One Polytechnic graduate has asked me on August 30th whether it is worth his while in investing in a part time business degree? I have given my answers to his question.

Dr. Lee Kum Tatt, who has considerable experience especially in S & T manpower development, has volunteered to share his personal experiences. He intends to write some articles in his blog on this important subject of education and manpower development. Read about his experiences and views on this subject in his blog.

In my opinion, if you are holding a degree from a University known to offer on part-time basis, you need to be one of the top in order to stand out from the rest.

If you are holding a general degree such as Business Administration, Banking or Finance degree, employers may like to see the soft skills aspect of the person.

A degree is just a stepping stone. How far he can go depends on his capabilities in his field of work and charm with people around him.
