I don’t want my kids to be a worker or robot in future.

20 yrs ago, freshgrad chemist can earn 3.5 K, now still 3.5 K
20 yrs ago, freshgrad engineer can earn 3.5 - 4 K, now still at same range.

People now flock to Computer science cause fresh grad easily get 5 K. Once RPA become the new norm, 20 yrs later, CS graduate will still be taking 5 K.
I agree with this. I joined a Jap MNC doing chemist role in 2006. Grad with 2nd upper from NUS Chemistry. They offered me 3.5 K back then.

Now i working in a US MNC, those new recruit for chemist role still only kena offered 3.5 K. I did not progress well and is only a Snr Chemist after 15 yrs (changed 3 jobs) but at least now I bring home 9 K plus.

I see those new recruit take 3.5 K i also feel sad. 15 yrs ago, 3.5K was enough for me to get a car, now they take 3.5 K want buy motor also think twice
