Hello, I am born in 1983 so you know my age. My career is headed no way as a matter of my unfortunate circumstance of meeting with a car accident. The car accident has resulted in me being resulted in me unable to work between the years 2010 2014 as I was in coma for 6 months and subsequently for the remaining 4.5 years, I had lost my memory and my cognitive skills had deteriorated to that of a 5 year old child. I was playing lego and doing colouring books during my recovery.
Here is my brief timeline:
O levels 5 x A1s , 4 x A2s (9 distinictions, English A1) St Josephs Institution
A Levels 3 x B , 1 x C , C5 for GP National Junior College
NTU Bachelor in Marketing (2nd lower honours)
My first job was with a Korean Tuition Centre that paid me $5000 per month in 2007. I have gotten such a high pay back then as I had ample experience as private tutor for about 5 years already.
2007 - $5000/mth (day job) + $1800 (private tuition) age 24
2008 - $6000/mth (day job) + $2100 (private tuition) age 25
2009 - $6500/mth (day job) + $1600 (private tuition) age 26
2010 - $7500/mth (day job) + $2600 (private tuition) age 27
I got an annual increment of $1000 due to my outstanding performance as a tuition teacher and hence my salary.
Then, in October 2010 armed with $200,000 (Combination of salary and savings since private tuition days) at age of 27 nearing 28, I ventured into Malaysia to do business. However I met with a serious car accident on the north-south highway that permanently damaged my brain. The doctor declared me to be permanently disabled no almost no chances of recovery.
I stopped working between the years 2010 December 2014. Abruptly, by the stroke of luck, I miraculously started to recover and my cognitive skill slowly began to recover. I had no choice but to stick on to the lowliest paid jobs just to start my self off. I was already 32 years old then.
Jan Mar 2015: Dishwasher in Japanese restaurant paying $1500/mth
Mar May 2015: part time waiter in jumbo seafood restaurant at $10/hour
June Oct 2015: Delivery driver for a handphone accessory company at $1550 / mth
Oct 2015 Jan 2016: road cleaning driver at $1700 / mth
In 2016, I am 33 years old.
I was lucky enough and managed to find a job as a
UOB call center agent. That is a contract based position that paid me:
Mar 2016 Dec 2016: 3200 (salary) + 200 (allowance)
The contract just ended and I just managed to find work as a student care teacher which is based in a primary school that pays $1800.
Help me. I feel so demoralised trying to fight and stand up again.
My savings of $200k has been wiped out entirely paying for the medical expenses leading up to my recovery and 5 years of home stay and not working.
At my age of 34, armed with almost non existent savings and an outdated degree, what other stable jobs can I look for? I hope that I can be given a chance to start a family.
I also find it extremely hard to look for a gf/wife as most sg women despise me for my lack of career. Never did they give me a chance and think what had happened to me for the past 5 years.
So what job can I still look for and should I just look for a Vietnamese wife?
Thank you and happy new year
