Ya, like a certain finance related advert I saw on the MRT recently equating success to $. I wonder how shallow are their graduates going to be?

Anyway, engineering is not dead yet. The salary growth is just not keeping up with the rising costs of living in Sg. For FTs from India and China, it's good pay once they saved up enough and return back to their country.

For Singaporeans, one has to be frugal to stay as an engineer and continue living in Sg. I think this will be even more so in the next 5-10 years unless some new policy appears and reverses this trend.

It doesn't help that FTs keep flooding the market, slowing down the salary growth in engineering sectors. Those interested in engineering careers should read up and compare engineering salary reports vs number of FTs in engineering for the past few years.

Be shallow, you'll be better off.
