this info whole thread is very outdated. now definetly highest ROI degree is definetly CS (NOT IS)
Spend 4 years in local U with
MOE grant for tuition each sem pay only 4k+ for CS degree
Come out 2nd upper and if your coding skills are GOOD you can minimally hit 5k starting pay with tech companies like Grab, Shopee etc etc
Better if youre first class honors - companies like Indeed,
GIC, Google, FB pay at least 6k to 7k as fresh grad
Even those go that into into tier 1 consulting (Mckinsey, Bain, Boston) which almost always requires you to have FCH only pay 5.5k for their entry level associates.
