[worker]

Hi,

I am a local Singapore Chinese guy with IT degree from local University. I am single and in my mid-thirties and seem not to be getting anywhere... I am in an desk-bound job handling multiple IT applications support (24x7) and projects, salary about mid $4K. I feel very stress and drained everyday working till late. There are constantly new issues and changes and I dun feel I can keep up with the many frequent changes. I stay at home during weekend as I am too tired to do anything.

I feel I want to switch to a more hands on, operational work where there are less changes and unknown and I know what I am suppose to do daily. Also it will be good to ultilize less brain power but body/muscle to work.

It is a pity that I did not take an Engineering degree or diploma... at least I may have the option to look for 12hrs shift manufacturing engineering job or offshore, service engineer job.

Pls share some good paying blue collar / danger / dirty / handicraft / offshore / work on ship job that nobody wants to do... but offers a good pay of at least 4k/mth. Pls share how to get into the job, what training to take. How long/possible to get to at least 50K per year? I dun mind having a pay cut as I have decided to remain single and keep a simple lifestyle.

I have heard that welding jobs in offshore, truck driver for construction, crane operator, taxi driver can easily earn above 5k/mth with OT pay.

Thank you.
