Been bothered by all these thoughts in my mind for quite sometimes so I have decided to post here to seek some advise from you people.
Im 25 years old this year and just ORD a few months back(so Im jobless now), and about to start my part time degree in unisim. ( went a longer education path, N level> ITE>Poly
The follow are my concerns:
1) Am I too old to start studying for degree? I will be around 27 or 28 years old by the time I graduated.(hopefully)
2) To be honest, I dont see myself getting a degree cause the thoughts of failure is haunting me even before I start studying.I think that I am not smart to even graduate.
3) Hoping to find a full time job while studying but afraid that my job will affects my studies and the submission of my assignment.Also worry that my future employer do not allow me to take leave during examination period. In addition, trying to find a full time job related to my degree(Facilities management) to starts off my career. Sent resumes to employers and none reply( most probably due to unrelated discipline in poly). Tried seeking recruitment agency for help but was told it will be difficult since I do not have relevant discipline and no experiences. Should I just find a admin job for now?
4) what are the career prospect for facilities management degree? Im quite worry that my degree is useless.
5) I find that my english standard is below average and it will be a contributing factors for my failure in unisim.
6) I panicked when I see the TMA and thinks that I wont be able to do it even before the school starts. Is it normal for students NOT know how to do their assignment before their school starts? ( Im already stressed up before school starts)
7) I tend to give up easily. How can I change this mindset?
Its very demoralising.
Hope to get some valuable advise from the seniors or people who faced these problem before.

I feel that since you already got into the course, u have to put down all the 'scared i will fail' feels. If you scared that full time job will pull ur grades down then get pt job ah! Earn abit better than nth ya haha.
As for career prospects, many ppl tell me that a degree is good enuf. Find something similar to what you study lor. If u keep thinking about career prospects while studying, you will lose direction one. Just focus on studying smart bah. Ask when u have qns and try not to sidetracj too much (:

If you're so worried and yet determined to get your degree then your age factor shouldn't be stopping you. However, if you feel that you'll be "too old" by the time you complete your degree, then you should've considered other private institutions such as psb/kaplan/mdis- their part time progs are shorter compared to uniSIM.
Then comes in the next point- your fear of failure.
If you never try, you'll never know. The fact that you got accepted for the degree prog should be able to motivate you enough.
Face your fears.
If the course is what you like, you should go for it. You are never too late for anything, you just have to come to a conclusion and stick to it until you have achieved that goal.
For job wise, i guess if you are willing to try, you will get that job. I believe that "what's yours will always be yours". Even if you have sent a lot of resume and none replied, don't give up there. Someday, someone out there will recognise and see your talent. That will be the time where you shine :)
Anyways, i'm also studying PT, but its at Kaplan. Jiayouu!! :D
