GIRL ONLY HAS POLY DIPLOMA, CAN’T GET INTO UNI & EARNING $1.8K FROM TEMP JOBS

need help with my future.
hi, i’m a 24 year old woman with a poly diploma. i’ve been working contract/temp jobs that pay me like $1.8k. my grades aren’t good enough to get into any uni full time. i’m currently unemployed and wondering what i should do next, and i feel lost.
i have social service experience, and marketing experience. i’m not sure which route to take. i seem to like the former better. i’m aware i can try taking part-time uni at suss, but first i will need to secure a full-time job, which i don’t really mind, but i doubt i can handle the costs financially even after subsidies as my father (sole breadwinner) brings home less than $2k BEFORE cpf for a family of 5.
there are WSG/CCP programs, but a lot would require me to get a diploma first and i’ve only found one that i like – social work with the accelerated degree. the cost for that is highly subsidised and the applications open in dec-jan. unfortunately, i don’t have 2 years of full-time work experience (which is part of the criteria) so i won’t be able to sign up for it until i do.
my family is lower middle class, so i am forced to take whatever job opportunity i get ASAP because of our financial situation. i can’t take my time looking for the “right” job right now because of this. i have been unemployed for almost a whole month, and it is affecting me and my family a lot.
i feel really lost. i know i’m still young but i need to keep moving, i need to do better. being young doesn’t last forever. does anyone have any advice? gentle or harsh, i don’t mind. any tips or any program recommendations etc. it would really help a lot.

Singapore society no longer arm with a poly diploma can land you a good life you really need a uni certificate as starting point. Do not be bull crap talking by the government of need not go to university! You need to study your way in university or part time university or any university to better arm your self to have a better start in working life.

You should look for the manpower minister. With a poly diploma yet you cannot find a job in Singapore. Might as well close down all the polytechnics.

No need to close down MOE. Just change the minister.

Seek help from your MP & Mayor. They should be able to direct you to the correct channel. If they cant't, ask them to quit

all depend on what job scope/level you apply for.Of course you want high pay you need to exp or cert.But nowaday $1.8k after cpf will be lesses.Temp job you want #1.8k or $2k you must work more hourssss.You want $2k or $1.8k but only few hour than i think very hard.
