And not forgetting the SAF jiak liao bee retirees parked at these places permanently.

Almost fell off my seat reading about you almost falling off your own seat.

Granted if good engineers after a few short years would be driving their own cars , you don't assume those finance professionals would be able to do so too given the same timeframe?

The comparison was apples to apples. It is obvious to everyone that your simple mind can't comprehend simple English.

To give you the benefit of doubt , assuming finance professionals do get to own their cars after working for a few short years , they will most likely be driving decent BMW s Audis Lexus and the likes. Take a look at the OCBC tower carpark at Chulia street vs the run-of-the-mill cars at an engineering firm. I will contend too there are some more than decent cars at the latter, but I would dare say the former has a higher percentage and likelihood. I say this because I have personally had the chance to observe both.

I pity your naivety in thinking and uncouth logic in your thought process. Good luck in defending your principles.

You very clever ah, twisting and turning like a snake. Change boundaries as and when you like. You said go MRT station and observe.

Now you said ok, lets look at the cars they drive.

Why dont you lay out all the other factors to consider.

Snake.

you are such an engineer. only want clear rules and only play within the boundaries. sigh.

- another observer

Seriously your argument is super cui. Yes he said go mrt observe. You're the one who brought car in in the first place. Why didn't you stay within the boundary? What makes you think people from the finance industry wouldn't upgrade into a car? I don't agree with what he is saying but your poor argument skill is doing you no favors.

Now between engineering and finance, you should choose the one you have the passion for. Don't look at lifestyle and etc. engineers in general makes more than enough to have a comfortable life. Choosing a industry base on where the money is will just cause you to burn out and reach mid life crisis even faster.

I made about 150K as a senior support engineer for a US company, performing software support.

I start at 9am and leave on the dot.

The job wasn't really challenging so I left the company. I'm hunting for my next job at the moment.

There's a way to get high pay that most engineers wouldn't do. I'll be happy to share.

How about a prospective student going to study chem eng in NTU. Is it good?

no it is not.

It's ok if you enter oil and gas, but make sure you like the job nature.

hmm
 

and yet i thought my salary is still not good enough, hmm...
