Unhappy Career options for a fresh graduate in Mechanical Engineering

I am going into my final year in ntu mech engg, wondering about what career options I have after I graduate. My gpa is slightly above average ~4.7, pretty confident of maintaining my fch. Abit sad that engineering is considered a dead industry, given that the workload and difficulty is more than other courses.

What are some career options I have after graduating? So far I have a few in mind:

1) apply for job in the gov sector/public service, assuming i can maintain my fch, should be able to get a decent salary of around 3.8k

2) try to get a scholarship to pursue msc in mech engg (is it really worth it though?)

3) some people have mentioned that banks are employing engineering grads, anyone can elaborate more on this? Like what banks or positions? and also what skills will they be looking out for?

4) i heard private sectors pay engineers poorly, is it true?

appreciate any insights for anyone, thanks in advance!
