I would want to consider a course switch to NTU accountancy. Even my friends told me an auditor would be able to make more money than a chemical engineer and they encouraged me to consider a career switch to finance. I even went to the MOM website to check the payscale for Singaporeans and found that chemical engineers make only $7.5k a month on average at the age of 40 years old. My aunt who works for the government told me she sees the tax returns of many people in Singapore and engineers usually have a very low income, with very few exceeding $100k.

I would like to ask just one question. Should I make a course switch? Thank you, even a yes or no answer would suffice. I just need the extra push to make the change.
