Based on above stmt by OCBC, it suggests that for half of the new deposit accounts opened with them in May, the salary ranges from $2250 - $2500. I think it should consist mostly of poly grads/ private uni grads? Would be terrible if this is fresh grad local uni grad pay, as I think this was the fresh pay like abt 15 years ago?

Eh this sinkingfeeling guy is seriously a mood dampener in the forums. Always see his name in the latest threads but never once providing any genuine advice or helping others out. Only spreading negativity and feeling shitty for himself.

Get off your fking ass and go work towards what you wanna achieve. There are numerous courses online you can take to learn new skills. Spend time upgrading yourself instead of coming onto this forum and looking down on others and yourself. Whining isn't going to magically land you a job of your dreams or accumulate any sympathy points for you.

This will sound harsh but this is the real world.

OK to be serious.

I suffer from a lot of problems - social problems (pretty obvious), health problems, mental problems.

I have trouble holding down a job, I have trouble making friends, and I'm quite a sickly person.

And each time I try to solve my problems, I realise my problems are never ending and that some of them are insurmountable.

That's just talking about the problems that are supposedly within my controls by the way.

At least that's the way I see it.

Okay first off, finally you are being serious and posting properly without using that stupid ass emoji. Posting those pointless comments isn't going to help your situation. With the current climate in the job market and the economy, the last thing everyone on this forum needs right now is another post infused with negativity.

Next, you have listed out quite a number of problems. You can do a self evaluation and find what is the underlying issue that is causing those problems. For example, is the reason why you cannot make friends due to your social awkwardness? If so, then you can work on your social and communication skills to eradicate that problem. If the reason you cannot hold on to your job is because of your education or skill level, then you will need to upgrade and learn new skills to stay relevant.

Problems are only insurmountable if you leave them unresolved. And no problem is ever resolved overnight. Every step you take to resolve them is a step closer to eradicating it. Always take one thing at a time, some progress is better than no progress at all. A very important thing is also the way we see problem. You can choose to see it as a hindrance to yourself, or you can see it as a challenge that will make you stronger when you overcome it. (At least that's how I choose to view obstacles)

This post may sound overwhelming but just take one thing at a time and go at your own pace. Don't bother how others are doing most important is how you are progressing relative to YOURSELF.

Anyway, hope this helps in some way.

@sinkingfeeling, the poster above is right. You can choose to break down each problem into bite sized pieces and take active steps to tackle it one piece at a time. Nobody can resolve a large complex problem at one go. If you are willing to share more actual details, perhaps someone may come up with ideas for you to work on. Posting silly comments with no insight into your issues is not gonna help you in any way. The most important thing to ask yourself is: Do you want to get out of the this hole? If you do, only you can make the first move. Feeling sorry for yourself is not going to advance your cause.

First work problem I can think of: when I had a job I used to spend a lot of time writing and rewriting emails.

I was scared that people would interpret something I didn't mean. Also have a desire to make sure my writing is polished. But then I always spent maybe half an hour on that.
