^^^ This is the worst advice. Hellooooo... has anyone heard of the US unemployment rate at 9%? and its worse as underemployment is rampant. Lawyers are working as paralegals. Senior engineers are working as technicians. Your advice might have been good 11 years ago before the tech bust, but right now its just ignorant. If you liked the US so much, why are you back? Engineering is an overhyped job in Singapore anyway, only geeks and nerds with no personality do it in western countries.

I think someone proved earlier using an internet calculator that NO WAY is $6K in Singapore equivalent to USD100K so don't be too believing. If the guy really earned USD100K, he is hurting now.... taking the bus and living in HDB.
