My husband is currently in a dilemma. He's 27 this year,working as a regular with a sergeant rank but because he dropped out of poly and took private diploma(they do not recognize private dip)is paid a rank lower,but does duty of a sergeant.
This frustrate him tremendously as his colleagues,who is much younger than he is,having a poly dip, have already been promoted to staff sergeant, yet he is doing more than what he is being paid for.
He realized those with poly diploma can easily get promoted and this was true for most of his colleagues(after 2 yrs promoted from sergeant to staff sergeant).
He intends to take up a part time business diploma from local poly so that he can get promoted easily(otherwise he can find jobs outside)however this will take him 4 yrs.
My take on this is for him to take up a business degree at a private institute instead since he already has a private dip(management).
I'd felt that it's a waste of time to go through the long route.He was very doubtful as previously when he tried to apply jobs at private company, most do not recognize his private dip and he got rejected.
Furthermore he's reluctant to waste more money and importantly, time and is focused on getting a local diploma.
He always felt incomplete without finishing his dip and wants to give it another try.
He has also expressed his desire to then continue onto doing part time studies at local Uni, but again this will take him at least 7 yrs before he finishes sch(Diploma+Uni).
And I've told him that he will be no better then a fresh grad but at age 34.
Do you guys think it's advisable to get a local diploma or am I right for him to get a private degree?Any advice is much appreciated.
