sorry couldn't resist 
you seem like a highly introspective and intelligent person. please do not join the finance sector. the world needs more smart people who are actually creating value, not warm-bodies parasiting on other peoples' assets and shifting money from one pot to the other in the guise of providing "professional services".
i'm speaking as someone who works in of these professional service, non-value-creating sectors.
there are more dullards inhabiting the finance sector than smart people. if you join, you'll be dragged down to a lower denominator.
good luck in finding a suitably stimulating job |
The finance sector does not appeal to me because, in my observation, of the flamboyant culture.
But in the unfortunate circumstance that I would have to work in the finance sector, which area would see me utilising a high level of mathematics?
Data analytics, perhaps?
Having been abroad since having completed my national service and given that I may have to return to Singapore for a brief period, exploring my options and constructing a contingency plan is vital to me.
Most of my Aussie peers in my area of field proceed on to work as mathematical modellers, geophysicists, nuclear physicists, technical consultants and some, as astronomers. Such roles generally pay extremely well and tremendously fulfilling.
In the worst case scenario that I may have to return to Singapore and consequently search for work, are there any industries in Singapore that would provide a closest fit to my skills and preference?
I'd love to hear more.
