Which industry(s) has/have the best prospect in the near future, perhaps with 5-10 years ?

Or perhaps another question is which industry is lacking of the manpower ?

The job with the best prospect has got to be a minister in the Singapore.. Best pay, best medical subsidies, even got pension... Where to find elsewhere in any other industry??

As for your second question, the industry likely to be facing manpower shortage would be engineering because all the engineers are all making career switches into finance to earn more... If you want to become an engineer, definitely got job for you in singapore... But you are unlikely to become rich in the profession...

Yeah. I think in fact you will get poorer and poorer as an engineer as time goes by. The cost of living keep increasing while cheaper FTs coming in to top up the local engineer shortage forces the salary to stagnant. Soon your pay raise cannot keep up with the expenses.

I guess Sg has no problem having no qualified sg engineers because unlike US, our country is not built on technology. No real weaponry, nuclear, space or classified technological programs that other countries will be interested in. Let cheaper FTs handle the engineering jobs. Locals secure the finances. Buy our way out of trouble if anything happens.

whatever u do, be the revenue driver, sales, product design etc... dun be ops (HR, IT, Accounting, etc)...

financial sector looks glamorous, but if u end up in ops, not much future...

some ppl scare of selling n pitching, then u haf to realise u wun get rich too...

You talk big for someone who is desperate to get out of a low level government job.

I'm good at multitasking, in fact I have concurrently finished grasscutting documentary preparation for feb at the same time and also told off one staff for causing a grasscutting systems lapse this month.
