Life still have to go on. By all means continue to strive for the better step by step. I am worse off than you. 42 male NUS general degree earning only 2700 monthly. Got a wife and 1 kid to support. But I manage to get by with careful planning and basic needs met.

Not true. Salary increment will be based on the value you bring to the organisation. If you have no skills, it will be hard to get an increment. You are getting 3.6k now for "admin, secretary" jobs? That is already very good.
