Somehow, a lot of my friends told me they want to go the 3 local unis (NUS, NTU, SMU) after their poly education. But if cannot get in, they want to go SIM uni. Now its like 9 out of 10 pple that i asked plan to go uni after poly.
So is it a norm now to go SIM uni right after poly?
is that a right decision?
Is it better to go out to work straight instead?

It depend on yrself.
people would usualy want to go uni right after poly. cos
1. they can graduate at a younger age
2. the age gap in uni(if they were to work first)
It can be a right decision. if your parent are able to afford yr sch fee..
However if u cant, most people will decide to work first. becuse after poly, they are already in debt ler ma..

Pros of going to work before uni
(1) Earn money to pay your sch fees and living expenses.
(2) Gain working experience and learn the life-skills (eg. how to deal with people etc etc)
(3) If the work experience is relevant to your uni course, you can bring a different perspective to your studies.
(4) Gives yourself time to brush up on your weak subjects eg. maths if you want to study engineering.
Pros of going to uni straight
(1) You will graduate earlier.
(2) You will be more or less same age as those in your cohort.
(3) You will still be fresh from your poly experience and so will adapt to studying easier. Those who have been working for a long time usually find it harder.
(4) You can gain the life-skills through participation in CCAs.
