I got 3rd class honours and am working in a bank as an IT analyst. At 24, i'm earning 45k p.a.

Whatever people say about 'back office' job, i don't care... Low pay? yea.. relatively low compared to elite front-office dudes, but so what? I'm doing what I can and I like to do. And frankly, i don't think 45k is low! it's way above the mean salary (not counting SMU's Cum Laude <2nd upper Honours and above equivalent> hahaha...)

I studied IT-related course in a local uni, so naturally IT in a bank is a good blend of IT + finance... lots of e-learning courses in intranet to find out...

Any experienced managers will be able to spot, in interviews, between 3rd class who're mediocre or 3rd class who can't be bothered to mug for exams. I'd say i'm the latter. Of course, getting 2nd or 1st gets the interviews first, but opportunities are always around. Just find the right one(s)



Cheers!
