If engineers no respect,then I suppose teachers are even worse right?Remember parents always used to tell us "I want you to be a doctor,lawyer or engineer when u grow up" I have NEVER heard "I want you to be a doctor,lawyer or teacher when you grow up".Having said that,here in S'pore having respect of society = earning power,isn't it?

Actually teachers are earning more than engineers these days... Teachers can also give tuition to earn extra income... For Engineers, quite tough to earn extra with their skills since their specialize skills aren't that marketable ... As an engineer, sometimes even have to work free OT on weekends.. I had a few engineer who gave up and switch to teaching and are now doing very well...

With such low pay and little prospect, no wonder all the best brains go to law, finance and medicine, instead of engineering.
Engineers jobs are being priced out in singapore, now mnc like GE, are setting up high tech r&d in china and top notch engineers salary are 1/3 of singapore. To prevent manufacturing sectors from hollowing out of singapore, goverment put a lot efforts to lure singaporeans to study engineering. Better think twice |

I tested my market value by going for a few interviews recently. Currently, I have 2 years of experience as an engineer in the oil and gas industry. One company offered around 4.4k and the other offered me 4.2k. Both are MNCs. Pretty decent after all if you asked me. Will test my market worth again when I clock 3 years of experience.

It depends. One of the jobs in an engineering office so it's not risky at all. Well, I know that if you go offshore sometimes, I agree that it is slightly risky but there will be extra offshore allowance. If you are working offshore on rotation basis, it's a different salary scale altogether.
