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!
MNCs normally don't hire fresh grads. But there are exceptions with those high turnover rates companies due to demanding industry. Their pay varies from really **** wage to very impressive high wages depending on your competence and contributions. But don't expect much on fresh grad pay. Nobody in reality with their sane mind will pay handsomely for zero experience and track record.
