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? |
The fact that you guys are doing aerospace shows you aren't smart at all. Perhaps good at scoring A's in tests but definitely mediocre in terms of finding out what's best in Singapore for making money.
Somewill say money is not important, so don't come here and rant and go live out your dream of being an engineer for life working for others for peanuts. A true engineer is like Edison who builds things to change the world, or Richard Branson who build companies flying people around and even to space in the future.
If you like building small things, do it as a hobby. Working for others in engineering sucks like hell. So aim to make more money first.
If you like building big things, first you have to be rich.
Being an engineer in Singapore will not make you rich. Even if you want to start a business, being an engineer will not give you much savings.
Make money first.
