No it matter not.
It matter who know you.

Only top universities make sense.
Nobody care if you graduated from non-top uni.

Not really. The elite graduates from grandes écoles which are a highly selective system that is completely separate from universities. University degrees are second choice at best, no matter which university they're from.

Yes

Could you become successful without degree?
And how?
Here, an only means I could conceive is leverage of internet.

Which university did you graduate from?

University of New Mexico I guess.

I became a corporate lawyer with a degree of specialist-historian. So basically i wasted 5 years of my life in the uni.

seems not

thanks for pic

University of Miami

Yes, a lot. If you are from one of the top unis, you can get internships abroad and have a good shot at getting admission into grad schools.
Funny though, Rakuten recruits grads from my college and doesn't give a single shit about grades. They only care about the projects you have worked on. t.bh I like their way better. Studying engineering in this country is a massive waste of time.

Yes, it's extremely important, like as important as it is in Asian countries, people just aren't aware because we don't commit suicide over it here.

I can of have to disagree. in my experience what matters most is what graduate school you attend, not undergraduate. People that have professional degrees from Harvard, Princeton, Georgetown, Chicago, etc. tend to have the most desirable qualities and stable career paths.

There are a few that are considered the best within their respective fields (Stockholm School of Economics for economics, Karolinska Institutet for medicine and the Royal Institute of Technology for engineering), but it's not a big deal. It looks a tiny bit better on your CV if you're from the top school in your field, but it's unlikely to be a deciding factor.

There are only two real universities in this country, Upsala and Lund.

you will not like their ways once you get the offer

trust me on this one

cash is deece though

poo stay out

Agreed, but in order to get into grad school at the top of the top unis, you need to go somewhere pretty good for your undergrad, like Vassar or Hamilton.

Apparently folks here think someone graduating from Cal Berkeley is lower tier than someone graduating from National University of Singapore. Even Medical Doctors who hold overseas qualifications are discriminated, that's why we rarely have locals with overseas MD or MBBS qualifications cause they usually just stay in the country where they get their medical degree from which brings greater respect and even progression. Unless you hold an MD from a really prestigious University like Johns Hopkins, Harvard or Duke.

Not really, actual experience and good references will see you much further

What's wrong with them?

The job's in Tokyo, not Londonistan.

lol johns hopkins better than berkeley?
maybe for doctors

I got an education in ass whipping and dope chopping from chicago what does that get me?

Why would it matter for doctors though? I assume foreign doctors have to take exams to get a Singaporean License. If they do well in that, then why does their undergraduate university matter?

t. Totally not a doctor

Your doctors are even more discriminated than ours. Anyways, Berkeley doesn't have a med school, it's UCLA that has one.

They're known for their student life, not for any kind of academic excellence.

no. It just matters who you know, even if you have no degree. University is a scam.

Oxford and Cambridge have guaranteed jobs
Russell Groups are still secure
Non RG, non ex-poly students need to know people in the industry
Ex-Polys are awful and a waste of money, employers don't value them at all

they don't want poo either

having foreign management try and work with japanese management doesn't work too well
its a series of huge misunderstandings because japanese management culture is so weird and unless you speak japanese (which i do) it seems like it would be totally mystifying

lots of blame shifting goes on because of fuckups due to this

they do hire some solid engineers though.
aaand i only know about the engineering side - business side is most all japanese speaking so presumably they have a higher degree of cultural understanding

Anything founded after 1666 is not a real university.

Well for first, locals have this mindset that our education is superior, and people do not nearly have to work as hard to earn our medical degree as overseas. So they think overseas medical graduates are riskier in terms of surgical procedures to look to. Therefore, you'll lose out to local graduates. That's on the private sector. In the public sector, specialists wouldn't usually stay, they usually make the most out of their earning potential and move into the private sector. Hence my previous point.

Still more preferable to the likes of you.

oh plus i should add that they will sponsor you for an engineering work visa so if you speak japanese you can move to any other company so thats a huge plus

That's just an old jap though.

ex poly here on 100k a day

Is he?
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1071811/Pictured-Naked-Briton-arrested-going-swim-Tokyos-sacred-Imperial-Palace-moat.html

That's not even slightly believable, why'd you bother?

sorry 100k a year bro, stay mad

Also partially the reason why the A levels we take the bell curve is only the local population. Has been proven countless times of locals scoring at least 2 more grades in UK A levels than SG A levels. We'll literally butcher your bell curve, like how we do it for the IB. Heard it's a disgrace to score anything less than 38 for IB.

No.

I was stupid asshole in school who spent all his time on video games so I had to apply to shitty local university.

My only salvation is the fact that I gonna work in IT sphere and they don't ask which university you graduated from. They are only interested in your skills and working determination.

Be that as it may, a degree from Lund or Uppsala isn't going to look better on your CV than the same degree from Linköping or Stockholm.

Still not believable at all, stay poor, dumb and jealous. Lying doesn't make your life better.

i know i earn that bro because daddy pays me :^) , why how much do you earn

All depends on what kind of neworking you did and where you had your internships.

>I became a corporate lawyer with a degree of specialist-historian

how the fuck are you doing lawyer job without lawyer's degree

im 4 years into law major with no intention of pursuing bar career and rather end up as corporate lawyer/accountant too so did i just get memed into law school?

t. linköping student

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_Eight_(Australian_universities)

These are generally considered the most prestigious universities and most politicians, bankers, judges etc attended one of those unis.

But people from less regarded unis have made it big and those unis still provide a quality education. What uni you went to is definitely not as important here as it is in the US or UK.

>how the fuck are you doing lawyer job without lawyer's degree
I've started as a guy who just doing all simple work in a small lawyer agentsy.
Then i worked as an assistant of lawer in a construction bureau.
--->
Lawer in this bureau.
--->
A private corporate lawyer.

Is Pierre and Marie Curie University any good? Heard anything about it?

A friend of mine is starting there soon as an international student, and I'm thinking about following suit.

If you don't think it's a good university, are there any better ones for international students?

You would have studied very hard.

The national lawyer license exam of my country used to be opened for people who have never had legal education or uni/college education. So there used to be success stories of former taxi driver lawyer or likes. And it was Japanese dream.

Too bad the rule was changed and you are required to graduate the postgraduate school to attend the lawyer license exam now.

how much tokyo metro driver make

>group of 8
>piss easy for us to get into
>literally taking the bottom of the barrel of students here, while the good ones either attend local college or go to Oxbridge tier colleges
Thanks for being our safety net for all these years.

Not bad, but it's just a university.

>Group of eight
Isn't that a lot considering the population of australia? How many universities are over there?

I quick searched and it's 7.72 million yen per year. It's the average annual income of all the labors of Tokyo Metro. Average of 20 to 24 y.o. is 4.40million yen. Average of 50 to 54 y.o. is 9.264 million yen.

pretty decent

post more

Too many. Then again tiny island state like Singapore has like 6+ unis.

Think there's a bit over 40
Higher education here is fairly big business, we get a lot of overseas students here because its a chance to get an education that's actually worth the bit of paper at the end of it. Majority of uni's in places like China, India and most of SEA aren't worth jack shit.

She is Ai Negishi

>mfw all Japanese people are millionaires

>majority
glad you remember that.

Singapore's the size of a large farm
Its sort of prudent to have at least a couple of major uni's in most of our larger cities and towns, otherwise its just a shit to get plebs educated because of distance

The most important thing is your work history (assuming you have the degree). Other than that Finnish universities stand on pretty much equal ground expect maybe for the two big universities in Helsinki: Aalto-yliopisto and Helsingin yliopisto.

But basically it doesn't really matter so people tend to apply to universities all around the country.

Not so much here, although some employers look more favourably on Russel Group universities. Even more favourably on Oxford and Cambridge but that's obvious.

You can be successful without going to university, but opportunities are few depending on where you live. There's always someone who'll say because they joined a company and that company trained them up that anyone can do it but they are the lucky few. Thinking back to my last job, in the past they may have trained some of the staff so they could do the better engineering jobs but now we're simply getting more from overseas and replacing the lower skilled with machines.

>work history


how do you start your work history without a degree

>graduated
kek. Ask me again in 10 years.

I am kidding though, I will probably graduate in 3 or 4, but my uni is in the top 5 the last time I checked.

Well feels good knowing that we accomplish more shit than you, mfw all Australian unis do is jump on the bandwagon when Harvard found something, trust me, I'm a masters student, I've seen countless Australian journals like that. We tend to do the shit ourselves, most of our research are independent, such as artificial salmon and usb is by us.

not really.

Heard from some Americunt friends that it only matters which graduate school you go to, undergrad matters less. But then most of the undergrads in Harvard tier schools are legacy kiddies.

As long as it is top 5 it is okay

Otherwise your resume is trashed on the get-go

>I'm a masters student

So basically no real world experience outside the education system. Its ok, I'm not going to kick your hug box

Nah man. I'll get real world experience soon enough, masters gives me at least 600 dollars a month starting pay boost.

No because we just have one university.

What do you do

The problem with going to an Ivy plus uni for undergrad is that they're obscenely expensive and typically you'll only get financial aid if you're very poor

Experience matters more

>experience
boomer propaganda

I was only IT support but the company made tools and parts for cars. So we had engineers, some developers and then the people who need to watch the machines make sure they're not fucking up. Engineers and developers were safe but anyone working in the warehouse or on the production line was at risk. Generally the way things are moving is that people are now making tools that don't require as much supervision and better ways to monitor what's coming off the line. I don't work there now though since the company was making more money but there were no pay rises for staff.

...

Yea it's already hard enough to get in, paying for it is another challenge. With regards to scholarships, well, closes chance of getting them for Harvard is that you're black. That's why I imagine how shitty trying to thrive inside can be especially if you desperately trying to not get kicked or get fucked by student loans.

...

sopa de canario

That is mostly a function of the type of people that go there, because in job terms it matters much more what you did at college (internships, achievements) than prestige for jobs. People who applied to Ivies and were comptetitive for admission but were rejected often do just as well as their Ivy counterparts because having the ambition to strive for Ivies/equivilent will mean that you will do impressive shit regardless of where you go (internships). Alumni networks and prestige are like legacy, it can cure the sick but it can't raise the dead.

Socially it matters a lot though


He is a shitposter that is so insecure about where he goes to uni that he constantly shills it despite it not being that good.

This is half-true
You want to go to a school that is good enough so that companies will recruit for internships there/you can do research undergrad. Schools with massive prestige have this in spades, which is why they are better for undergrad but its not like you won't get that at any top 100 or top 50 school. In that sense it doesn't matter much unless you really fucked up and can't get into top 100/top 50/your state university (which all favor kids living their state).

For grad school it depends on what you are doing. If you are just doing it to further your career advancement with a Masters then its about prestige. If you are looking to research/PhD then it matters a lot about the faculty there and what you'll be able to research at each program.

I studied engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology actually.

No, not really. What matters are your major and your grades.

Wahoo, you must suck pretty good

Fucking crude Poms. Top kek.

kek

Yeah they are made of some solid matter my friend, no earthquake or nuclear bomb would take them down

uma delicia

Yes

If you're in the top 10 of course it will stand out but after that it doesn't really matter

>not paying for anything in the private sector
>going to UdelaR

stay poor and uneducated niggerfag

you are expected to work from 15 year old in summer and shit. in finland it can be hard to get job if you have zero work experience when you graduate 25+ unless you got very specific degree.

and yes, i am worried

>private

Son el hazmerreir de todos. Con razones las asignaturas de privadas no se revalidan en udelar.

Y sí, udelar es espantoso, pero me parece lo mejor. En particular contando que hay carreras que no existen en privadas.

Universities don't matter here. What makes you look good is if you graduated from "Grandes Écoles" which are highly selectives higher education schools.
Otherwise I think professional experience is really more important here.
