Default Roles that I may find in Singapore

As a Singaporean, I've been pursuing my passion abroad with a Group of Eight University for three years already with another two more semesters before I graduate with a Bachelor of Science.
My Bachelor of Science is a full double major in Physics (undecided between a specialisation in quantum mechanics or astrophysics) and Mathematics with a specialisation in both applied and pure mathematics.
In the pipeline is a dual honours in Physics and Mathematics should I choose to read honours.
There are also a couple of economics units under my belt up to a final year units.
In terms of quantitative, analytical skills and thinking in the abstract that I've acquired, nothing needs to be further expounded.
I am reasonably proficient with Wolfram Mathematica to build mathematical and computational models in almost every areas from the physical science to biological system and by extension, areas of finance and economics.
In terms of an ideal role, I enjoy seeking solutions to highly complex system
and building abstract mathematical models to investigate anomalies; less focus on social management.

My deepest interest is working in the weapons and defence sector concerning long range missile defence system and have applied to Lockheed and Raytheon but the necessary condition of applicants being a national citizenship removed me from the equation of their decision making.
My other option is technical consultancy.
I've been given a ballpark estimate of the salary I could be receiving by friends working in the finance sector (higher than what most fresh grad are getting) but I do not see myself working in the finance sector.

Relative to me, this post has only one objective:

Remaining abroad for work is my primary goal but I must at least return to Singapore for reasons relating to persons, at least for a short while.
The intent is for me to be able to ascertain I will not find roles that fit my preferences. This would enable me to have my way.

Any meaningful and informed thoughts are appreciated.
