We take up to 8 modules/semester while our biz/acct friends get to have 3 days week. the feeling just sucks when it is the hard truth that it is just the nature of the engineering field that we will get paid lesser even though we may be smarter or whatsoever. sigh.. just ranting.
banking and finance is a viable option but how many of us are willing to accept the fact that the 4 years of engineering studies are gonna be useless? |
Not entirely useless. It's just that engineers are not well paid or respected in singapore. Working hours can be like people in the finance sector (50+ hrs) but paid less than half their pay. That's why one can see on many posts about engineers jumping to other sectors on online forums.
