Whatever is on your CV should be what you do with interest. Perhaps in an age of pragmatism and disenchantment yours will shine through. I once had a MHA scholarship interview which i went for and said that i was totally not interested in, and thus would like to give up the place for other applicants. And they gave me the place! (Well, i turned it down again, so yeah.) Anyway, this is Singapore lah. Everything bare minimum. Human resource seems to be our only resource, but no one is developing this resource to the maximum. A Bachelor's is almost worthless in Singapore unless your degree is in some niche subject, or Law. People just want money, and to hell with your interests. Don't go that way. Let the RJC freaks kill themselves over what they perceive as failing in life, and choose your subject wisely. Most importantly, study something you want. I'm studying Philosophy now. heh.
