Can you really land a good job in Singapore with just certifications and no degree? 🤔 I’ve been wondering if companies here truly value hands-on skills more than formal education. I know a degree still opens a lot of doors, but with so many fast-paced industries like tech, finance, and marketing evolving, certifications seem to matter more nowadays. So, do you think having certs can give you the edge over degree holders when applying for jobs, or is a degree still a must?

Totally understand what you mean! I’ve seen friends without degrees break into marketing and IT through certs and sheer hustle. as long as you can prove them your result of your work, then should be fine
