Hi everyone. i'm 25 years of age. just finished my exams with UOL, and i'm expecting a 2nd upper class honors in Banking and Finance. I am at the crossroads now, whether to join banking or the civil sector.

For banking, there are many sales positions opened currently, offering a good 2.7K to 3K as basic excluding commission. However, i'm not interested in doing sales. There are also operations positions opened, offering 2.8K-3K, requiring frequent OTs and working 3 saturdays per month. I'm gonna skip the talk on MA programmes and ****, because honestly, they might burn my resume when they see UOL. Nevertheless, does banking provide a better future ? if i take on operations in a bank, and jump every 2-3 years? how does it compare to the option below?

Civil sector, i'm thinking of joining singapore prison service. i go to the gym 3 times a week and fitness is part of my life. I served national service with detention barracks as an MP, not to mention prison service held talks in my camp to poach some of us too. considering i have relevant experience in incarceration, and my ippt after NS has been a consistent silver (yes free $200/year), would it be possible for me to get the position as a Senior Prison Officer? Would it be better than getting a career in the banking world ?

Many people have told me to go into banking, because it has better prospects. how true is this ?

thanks in advance.

Are you serious?

1) Why took a degree in Banking and Finance, while actually you are interested in a "prison" job?
2) Are you sure what you learnt in Banking and Finance would benefit you in that “prison job”?

Hope you are not seeking a comfort start in career by choosing that "prison" job, just because you have some similar experiences in NS….All the best.

You can tell when he say he want to join a bank yet exclude like 80% of the jobs in banks that sound tough.

People like that always end up with options at both extreme ends – joining a bank vs. a prison. Deep in their minds they are slack and want an easy life, but not willing to admit due to personal esteem or social pressure and "gian" the money at the same time.
