The lesson to be learned from these postings is that if you have sterling academic results in school, you should leverage on it as early as possible to get into medicine, dentistry or law. That will almost guarantee you a comfortable annual mid 6-figures income (at least) till retirement. Instead of trying to impress nobody, but yourself probably, going to top overseas universities taking courses like business and finance and then hoping to land an IB or MBB position, whereby the probability of success is much lower. The number of Singaporean partners in top investment banking and consulting firms can be counted with the fingers in the hands, whereas the number of million-dollar Singaporean law firm partners or doctors who overbill their patients can be counted with the legs of a millipede.

The other lesson, don't join the RSAF if your ambition is in banking. That will almost surely land your resume into the waste paper basket of an IB (unless you have a residential address like 2A Ridley Park).
