Even if you manage to get out of the contract with that <21 years old clause, your next job will not be any better because you have totally unrealistic expectations. The problem is you, not the company.
Think about it, even fresh 25 year old university graduates start off in MNCs doing such basic admin stuff, what exactly were you looking for as a 20 year old market co-ordinator? That somebody is going to start having a strategic marketing discussion on global perspectives with you? When I left
NUS many years ago and join a MNC as a supply chain executive, about the only thing I was doing for the first few years is calling all the different parties to arrange meetings, chasing them to pay up, deliver materials and filling in all sorts of customs forms.
The career excuse is even dumber. The contract only 2 years, most people will only get their promotion in 2nd or 3rd year of working, you cannot even wait for 2 years get some exp before switching jobs? So you are looking for someone to promote you ever year?
