HELP! Signing in army with SAFOS or finance sector?

[student10]

Hi guys, I just got my A LEVEL results which I got 7A 1B which is sufficient for almost any scholarship.I am wondering if my pay prospects would be better with SAFOS ( I can get to BG level around 45 yo with 20+k salary I think) or would it be better in the finance sector? And for finance sector what is the area that earns a lot of money ah. It would be good if yall can quote salary figures and about how long of working experience to reach there. Work life balance for each sector as well if you guys have more information. Thanks a lot, please help because I am lost HAHA.

Bro, honestly if you are SAFOS-material, you wouldn't be asking questions here. If you are SAFOS-material, your JC's HODs would have talked to you extensively on such matters. Your rj/hwachong high-flying seniors would also be better placed to answer your queries.

In any case, 7As and 1B are quite a dime a dozen in rj/hwachong so it really isn't "sufficient for almost any scholarship"

More importantly, I want to know how is it like to be working in the army. Personally I have been having a lot of interest in the army but then I heard mixed reviews about it. Anyone has any insight as to how working life is in the army? Wouldn't mind the pay at all with the army if it is a fufilling career and work life balance, really really interested in the army haha. Thanks in advance guys!

Both my friend and I are interested in the finance sector and army. He is looking at SAFOS and salary prospects while for me, I am more of looking at the working environment and work life balance in each sector

Why do people think it is a good idea to register forum accounts with their real names?

Did it ever occur to you Mr. 7As 1B, that forums like this one allow you to post anonymously for a reason?

So the next time your brilliant self appears before the SAFOS interview board and try to sell yourself as the selfless public servant totally committed to the highest calling of our nation's defence, remember that your true motivations, 'work-life balance' versus 'pay and prestige', are splashed over the Internet for all to see.

Not so bright eh? I wouldn't trust you with safekeeping the number lock combination of an ice cream cart.

He talks as though SAFOS is so easy to get.

Are you even in OCS? Really a joker this one.
