You can get bonuses of 8 months, or one-quarter of your annual salary, if the GDP growth exceeds 10 per cent.

Sounds familiar. You forgot to add that if your performance is average you can get 9 months performance bonus.

Thought the job market is very "tight" now? Didn't the government say labour market is "tight" and unemployment rate is at historical low and we need lots of FT to top up the working population so GDP can grow grow grow?

Oh. Haha. Then do econs or business or finance. No equipment/lab and much less hours than engineering.

so i thought of studying sth simpler..

take a business degree? i am looking at SIM part time.. so.. SIM only has bachelor in business...
hows the job prospects? is it good?

reactors???!!! I know I'm no expert but I'm quite sure not every Chem eng related job uses them.
Please take the time to talk to more people who know more.

for example, a civil eng grad doesn't necessarily have to work on construction sites. he/she can work at LTA in transport planning for example.

you have to expand your context. think through this carefully.

Why not take a business or management degree and go into sales or similar in a "Chemical" company? Might be better.

???? Many of my female schoolmates are chemical engineers. I'm not a ChemEng myself, but this is definitely one area where there is less gender bias, compared to Civil or Mechanical where you might be able to argue about different physiques (if at all).

Biomedical? Be prepared to wash test tubes unless you get a PhD. Note: I did not coin this phrase! And yes, ads for biomed are far and few in-between.
