Unless your spouse is working (dual income) or you have at least 3k/mth housing allowance, your income alone cannot afford the standard of living here. You can try to go really local which I doubt you or your child can adapt easily.

My recommendation is to stay in europe. Given the current climate, Singapore is not as expat-friendly as before.

Not really. Though the Prime Minister has said that foreigners intake will slow down, it doesn't mean Singapore is not as expat-friendly as before. Talented foreigners are still very much in demand and very welcome here. Look at the big banks and multi-nationals here - the employees are mostly foreigners, especially the senior ones. We need them to push up the workforce's skill level and to help create more jobs. Of course, they also help boost the economy by renting our apartments and spending money here.

where is ronaldo?

(And I have worked in 3 different aviation companies in Singapore. hhhmmm I really wonder where the figures come from)

Now I'm getting worried!! I have a diploma in aerospace technology from ngee an poly and plan to take up a 3-yr degree course at ATTC and get a LAE license.

Is this a wise choice?

Or should I just follow another path? Hmmm..

i have observed it since year 2000. Seems like they only pick the highest guy being paid in that occupation. the rest could be earning less than half or 3/4 of that amount.....so smartest and acurate way is to lessen half that salary seen placed by CPFand add in $1k more!

there is no need to get a degree for your LAE.3 years of poly education is considered sufficient in order to get your LAE according to ICAO or have they revised it and increased standards.u may actually flunk yer degree course and still get yer LAE as long as there are special approved companies like SIA or ST aero to sponsor your LAE as u work for them.please correct if i am outdated on such issues.
