Currently I just ended my ITE HIGHER NITEC and I didn't get a place in poly through JPAE, therefore I'm kinda lost, I couldn't find any job related to my course with a HIGHER NITEC CERT, and I noticed that it's quite hard to find job related to design, should I go to lasalle? (it's expensive and dont know if i could get in too) or find other full time job for now?

This is a golden time, and you have to start looking either keep studying (appeal?) or start working—just go with what suits you. Show your personality, values, and a can-do attitude, and you'll stand out. Some still have a concept that ITE mean didn't study well which mean can’t do much, which can be discouraging & demotivating along the way through interviews, still need to persistent. But a few employers willing to give you a shot. If you're into design, go for it—apply and keep leveling up.

Hi Tiffanie, it's completely okay to feel a little lost after graduation. It's good that you're already thinking about your next steps! If you're considering LASALLE but unsure about the cost or entry requirements, you could take some time to work full-time first, build experience, and save up :) Keep going, and don’t be afraid to try different paths cause you'll never know what might click! :)
