Well done, my fellow learned friends for setting the bar ever lower.

To my fellow forum outlookers, wake up your ideas. The reality is that it is a bad time to enter into the law profession, a bad time to get a partner and settle down, a bad time to live. No matter how hard you work, it is all but an "American Dream". So, if foreigners or foreign grads take your jobs, let it be. Don't hustle, don't bustle, as it is not worth sacrificing your mental health and time for a dream which will never come true.
HDB bids are getting more difficult, costly and lengthy (more than 6 years for now).
So, be smart, you can never beat the flawed system. The future will never be us. We should just learn to survive first. So just sit back and don't rock the boat.
