schooleeners My one and only advise for you is to follow your heart. However, since you're also passionate about problem solving in Maths and other technical stuffs, I'd suggest you look into the IT sphere, as there are more jobs that'd perfectly suit your passion.

Very well explained and indeed a good advice to the TS.

By the way, if you have graduated in the next couple of months time, please drop your resume at our website, so we can match you to our client partners. Don't worry, our client partners also offer employment to fresh grads like you, TS.

Career advice

Hi, I am a year 3 student studying Mechanical Engineering in NTU and on the path to graduate with at least second upper/first-class, depending on my FYP. I am now stuck in a dilemma of planning for my future career to either stay in engineering or switch my career path. The reason is due to that I am more passionate about the technical aspect of engineering especially in the aviation industry. However, based on the advices from friends and seniors, they have told me that the aerospace industries is really competitive (especially since I am not an aerospace student) and even so, the industry here is Singapore is more focused on maintainence/R&D (Which is not what I am actually looking for). Hence, I would like to seek advice from seniors/working personnel on your take and experiences whether:

1) Should I continue to purse an engineering career in the aerospace industry or in other engineering industries (Oil and gas/Marine)?
2) Should I venture into other sectors (IT/Finance)? As I really enjoy problem solving nature and mathematics.

Thank you so much!
