NS is only applicable for 2nd generation PR's or SC. Your son is neither. IF you took up PR your son wouldn't be eligible unless he was a PR - you can easily avoid that.dangya wrote:Maybe Singapore isn't the best option. But just to clarify, I do already have some experience working for an investment firm (mainly to support the kids). I am married with a son (and expecting a daughter next month!), and looking into his eyes, I just can't imagine the thought of sending him into the military.
You say Singapore has a future. What you don't understand is that Sg has state-controlled media. You don't always hear the negative news. US has a free press and you're more likely to get the truth about job growth, economic problems, etc. The company my spouse works for recently announced layoffs due to budget cuts. Nothing about it in the news. If this was in the US, people would've heard about it.dangya wrote:Hi. I'm graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in May. I'm majoring in Economics with a concentration on Marketing & Communications at Wharton and minoring in East Asian Languages and Civilizations with a concentration on Chinese. I don't feel like America has much of a future- it's been on a huge decline (except for the bubble that its currently in) and I feel like Singapore really does have a huge future. My only hesitation about moving is the forced military service that my kids would have to go through. Do you think I should go?
EDIT: Also, wouldn't national service at the age of 18 completely interfere with applying to colleges in America?
With no work experience I can't see you have a choice to move here, as you won't get a visa.dangya wrote: Do you think I should go?
