"I wish to get an engineering job with good prospects, opportunities to go overseas, and of cos with attractive benefits."

Can't blame you for your naivety. After all, you are a fresh university grad.

Go check out what they say about engineering jobs in this forum.

You will learn a lot from those "been there, done that".

Engineering is a league dominated by foreigners. If you think your expected first-class honours can allow you to shine or get a job with good prospects, you really need to rethink.

Those who have been in engineering line, be it in Oil/Gas, Semicon, engineering services, etc. will know that engineering bosses are OBSESSED with COST. QUALITY of work is secondary. They don't might getting a foreign engineer who produces works sub-par standards. So long as they are cheap to hire.

As a would-be first-class honours grad, can you accept a pay deemed sub-par? If not, the boss would have no hesitations to get some foreign engineers 'cos they are a dime a dozen!!!
