But I do agree with you that being quoted in leading press, or being awarded best paper, will definitely be a good point to sell the self.
It is Nanyang Technological University. Hence, non technological subjects are simply less important and pay lesser. Even disregarding the technological biases of a technical university, the normal market normally pays humanities/social sciences much lesser anyway.

Unless you are an economics major, it is not surprising to get much lower pay. There is a large supply of humanities majors and low demand for them.
