Be glad your useless company still survives because I can see one day you will even lose out to budget Indian or China company. Time to close that useless company of yours. |
I'm offered a job at Sembawang Shipyard as engineer with those 1 yr bond, lump sum kinda scholarship.
I need to wake up at 5am to go work everyday as I live damn far away. I'm really lost as to whether I should go down this path. Any people out there care to advise about this? I feel like I'm missing out if I don't take, but I don't have a good feeling about this, those kinda feeling like go BMT kind. Btw, I'm an engine undergrad and like the millions of engine undergrads out there, am passive abt engineering. Please help. |

I'm only starting year 4, 2nd lower.
What do you all think? Damn lost. |

But 2nd lower might have a slight difficulty finding a job.. not that you cant get one.. but need a bit of effort as compared to people with 1st class/2nd upper... Semb marine pay is not fantastic.. if i am not wrong, they are paying 2800+.. but they compensate you with high bonus... 7-9mths.. |
Thanks for the advice.
Yea, high bonus, I was tempted by that, but the gut feeling to accept this or not just isn't positive. That's why as of now, still undecided. I have till Monday. Is the job market really bad? |
I worked in Sembawang Shipyard as an engineer for a couple of years after I graduated. Some facts:
1. Be ready to work on most of the Sundays and Saturdays because the refitting schedule is round the clock to maximize the berth/dock capacity. You can claim overtime but it is capped. 2. It is a physically demanding because ships are so big. You have to climb up that staircase aka gangway from the ground to the ship, and also down to cargo tanks that are five to six storey high. Not to mention toiling under the hot sun. 3. The turnover rate is high due to the work nature. Go search in jobsdb and you know what I mean. 4. But it is a good place to learn and toughen yourself. There is a saying that "If you can survive in the shipyard, you can survive anywhere" So if you are a family person who enjoy sitting in air-con room, this job is not for you. But if you want to stretch yourself and Learn the most in the shortest time....go for it. |
