about germany: germans living in germany are well-known for being xenophobic :/ it depends how much you'd like to work for SAP (sounds like boring work to me!), but the social factors are kinda important. maybe visit the place (got any friends there?) before you make the big jump.

about you: you don't perhaps play go/weiqi/baduk do you?

I had new update on my blog website, check it out and let me know what do you think!

Oh, I am currently study the IT management. I have done:

ACN101,QMG101,INF105,COS111,MNB101,QMG102,ACN102,AUI202,MNB102,INF206,COS113,COS226,COS112,COS114,STA105,CSS101,MNG201,COS211,MNF202,INF303,INF207,COS214,INF308,COS221, MNG301,MNG302.

I might be able to help you with a little advise regarding the above subject.

Now I am busy with: COS311,INf305,COS321,INF307. Hopefully, I could finish them by the end of this year.

It've been a great fun and challenge to study through the UNISA for the whole degree. I must say, I gain a lot and learn a lot, not only the knowleage of each subjects, but also how to manage my time and how to study more effectively.

I always believe that effort, reward! Hope you all gain a lot from this study experience.

Does anybody think it worth while to get the MBA after the BSc or one should continue doing the Honour in Sc. Why can you do your Master in Sc after the BSc? What is the Honour in anyway?

It seems that you don't have to get the Honour if you just study the MBA.

honours is about the pecking order

BSC --> Hons BSc --> MSc --> PhD

or

Any undergrad --> MBA

But MBA is very wishy washy business stuff, and most academics dont regard it as a real masters degree....

I do agree about the MBA story, but seems that it's so populare now days, especially when you apply for a job. Also, seems now days everybody get the MBA, feels like if I don't have one, something is missing...

More update on MY BLOG . Let me know what do you think of the De la Rey song.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep kookwater treffers alert!

Strange - I think at Wits you actually need an honours before doing an MBA....

The different universities have their own different requirements. There is no specific role for anything. As far as I know, only SA need Honours before Masters. Don't know why they don't just combine the Honours and Masters into Masters.

Because a undergrad + honours = 4 year degree abroad....or that is what I have heard.

MBA is tricky, it depends where you do it. A potch MBA would eran you nothing, while a Gibs MBA is highly regarded. A lady at my work just went for a 3day MBA course

no, they would have to combine honours and undergrad - overseas universities have 4 year undergrad subjects don't they?

Yes, they do. I thought the BSc I am doing now in here is same as the BSc overseas.

yip.....when you emigrate, an honours and a undergrad is equal to a normal degree....but Lythium should know about this at this stage in his life?

Lythium? who's that?

honours can <censored>, i'm sufficiently employable and don't really care about money anyway; just want to live an easy life with lots of time for my myriad interests.

honours is for bigger rats who wanna get ahead in the race

Certain BSc's (like electrical, mechanical, civil and chemical engineering and possible some other degrees) are 4 year degrees, and BEng is 5 years (I am speaking under correction on this one) so there is no BSc Hons. It just BSc(Eng) --> MSc --> PhD.

Most counties have either 3 year B and 1 year Hons or 4 year B for the same subject. Most commonwealth nations have the B and Hons layout.

Apparently in Poland the minimum degree you can obtain is at Masters level. There is no B-level degrees.

As for the MBA, it is becoming like the MCSE (or whatever it was called) - initially few people had it and could demand high salaries and the next thing you know a guy with a MCSE is asking you if you want fries with you happy meal.

Heh lycium.
I wouldn't really say that, I don't really expect honours to help my career much at all even, I don't know if I will even ever go the corporate route (Which is the only place it really helps).

Honours has quite a few interesting subjects, I am doing it for them.
Although I must admit the honours AI course for example was a huge dissapointment.

hmm not sure about this... we're both the sort that will eschew formal schooling for informal education! which brings me to my next point...

should have done it on your own, instead of half-doing it for honours! that's if you're doing it for yourself (as you mentioned above).

COS vs. INF

I always thought the IT is part of the computer sicence, but now I more feel that computer secience is part of IT. I am doing the ITM, to me the INF course is much easier than the COS courses... and also most of my difficult COS courses are luck of lectures' supports. (When the subjects that I need the lecture supports, I won't get any, but the subjects that I don't really need any supports, always get these so friendly lecture willing to help you...
