The Agenda: Has getting a university degree become a resume arms race?

A degree used to be the main ticket into the working world. Today, students can feel pressured to graduate with much more, from internships, leadership roles, networking contacts, side projects and maybe even a startup.

On The Agenda, Nadiah Koh speaks with Inis Gan, a Year 3 Business Administration student at NUS, about the growing pressure to build an impressive resume, the experiences that are genuinely worth pursuing, and how students can avoid turning university into one long race to keep up with everyone else.
