Plenty of jobs out there

Don't have the mindset that you can only work as a teacher

See what portfolios you have built so far, and maximise your strengths

There are people who switched to other jobs in the wider civil service, such as general admin, or officers in other ministries and stat boards relevant to their skillsets, like NHB, NLB, MCCY, Nparks

And there are people who also switched completely to the private sector, doing corporate roles, such as corporate comms, HR, business development. Some went back to the private sector fields they are qualified in, e.g. engineering, research and laboratory work, journalism, mass comm/advertising

Don't be self-limiting
