There’s so many minors that I want to obtain like internet of things, entrepreneship and business. I dont really know which one I should choose and prioritise. Besides I still have a few modules to do to get certificates. If I have a minor in business, should I bother getting a certificate? Im scared I wont be able to manage and wont have time to rest. I want to try but dont know the workload and if i can manage. Can anyone give advice? What do yall think?

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing :)! Wow, would first like to commend you on thinking so deeply! This is definitely not an easy decision to make, especially when there are so many things you wish to try out. I can definitely relate to this as there is just so much in the world that I also wish to try out but I am limited by time 
. For me, what I would do would be to ask myself internally, if there is only 1 which I could choose, what would it be?
Otherwise, I would definitely take out a pen and paper (or even laptop LOL) and write down a list of pros and cons (this pros and cons not only include what would benefit me or benefit me less but what would make me the happiest) and that is how I will get my ranking.
But of course, do priorities your mental health and your rest as well. If at the end of the day you still think to yourself “I still want to do everything I list out”, ask yourself, will you be burnout at the end of everything? If yes, I would advise you to rethink it! Because what is the point of trying so many things, only to be burnout and tired and to not enjoy what you are learning and doing 
?
I hope this helped!

Indeed, there are many kinds of certificates available out there. And the choices can be quite overwhelming. But support is available!
Firstly, there are plenty of courses that you can find through MySkillsFuture (Home | Myskillsfuture.gov.sg). The courses can be filtered according to the areas of training and the industry you’re interested in.
Secondly, you can consult a SkillsFuture Ambassador (Skills and Training Advisory Services | Education, Career and Personal Development) to have a better understanding of the courses that may be beneficial to you.
Thirdly, you can look at the portal for upskilling courses offered at the Polytechnics and ITEs (https://stms.polite.edu.sg/).
Hope this helps!
