I'm not one to share but since I was from Kaplan, just drop you some tips:
Commercial roles do pay well.. with steep learning curve might start at low 3XXX or 40k-ish p.a., i did well in my successive roles and i make deliberate job switches to do what i want to do, 4 years exp i am making basic 85k p.a. and bonuses + incentives avg 40k, and i just turned 30 2 weeks ago......
so please don't allow your degree to hold back your horizon, yes having a private degree opens fewer doors but after work experiences count more after 2 - 3 year of working experience. my income literally grew threefold over the last 3 years, but my IRAS grew over 15 times
most importantly, apply yourself and stay ahead of the curve.
P.S. I actually enjoy the fact that everyone is ignoring that uneducated loser ^^
