The corporations that enslaved them sucked the life out of them by making them sweat long hours for a few pathetic dollars.. at the end of the day when there're spent... they all got flush down the toilet bowl... they'll then lure another batch of unknowing young chap into the same **** hole to repeat the cycle.. Dun be fooled by the advertisements they put on TV about what ******** rewarding career!!! If it's really so good... then dun have to advertise all all right??!! Phui...
In the 1990s, many young impressionable 3As A-level students go into engineering after reading the booming semiconductor industry paying fresh graduates as high as 5k if one work on OT. Many are lured into it, and studied microelectronics in Electrical engineering.
Today, most of these engineers have left this industry because of retrenchment, salary freeze and zero prospect. Just look like chartered semiconductor history, you will understand.

Many of engineers went on to work as taxi drivers, real estate agent, insurance agent and teachers.... Dont end like us - used to be top students, now struggling by to strike a living in Singapore with ever increasing cost of living.....
