Go apply relief teaching.

And... really don't go into teaching if you have no passion in it.
You are going to create a difference in education quality when students compare your efforts with other more passionate teachers.

I know Chinese degree dun have much prospect in Singapore compare to computer science.

I am thinking maybe I can fall back or switch to be teacher, in a subject I am comfortable with, if I cannot make in IT field

I dun think I am passionate to be a teacher, but I am good in Chinese

Unregistered Good in chinese not equal to good chinese teacher.

Teaching without passion is as good as wasting 4 years of ur life (1 yr nie + 3 yr bond). Eventually u will leave the service without any relevant exp outside. Need to start from stretch again.

MOE would always choose a local over ppl from PRC or malaysia if the singaporean is qualified enough to teach chinese. However, nowadays more and more singaporean cnt even converse well in mandarin and lack in interest in the subject. Hence , no choice have to look for foreigner to teach chinese.
I nvr took higher chinese, if I took Minor in CHinese is it possible?
