no1ne, you can try for a Production Supervisor/Manufacturing Engineer/Planner position. I grad with a Mechatronics Diploma and went on to further study in PSB Academy on Mechatronics Engineering. The degree only opened me to more opportunities but not really relevant to what I'm doing. Good Luck on your job hunt! |

Unregistered | In 2010, 80% of tax-payer earns less than 5k / month. No wonder there are a lot of divorce in Singapore. It does not matter whether you are engineer or non-engineer. | |

Pay increment for engineers is only on average at about 5%-7% for most engineering companies... Engineers have to job hop to get bigger pay jumps.. but also have to bear in mind that the higher salary you draw, the more likely you'll be the first to get retrench in a engineering company... These days a lot of retrenched engineers end up driving taxi either because they lose their jobs in their 40s.. Some tried going to job fairs but the employers prefer younger and cheaper FT workers.. Itz just a very sad fate for these older engineer... There was this one time, a taxi driver told me he was a ex-engineer earning 5k before he was retrench... then he couldn't find job for a long time since he was already in his 40s... Savings also not much due to low pay and high expense due to housing loan and wife not working... Every day stress over money and quarrel with wife... Woman feel that the husband is useless... Eventually divorce followed.. because the woman needed to feel more financially secure.... He was tearing while he shared this... |

I studied 5 years in NTU part-time to get my EEE degree.. Having already worked over 10 years in engineering.. my salary still miserable... <4k Tot that i should take a masters degree to value-add.. But everyone says that most engineering companies will not pay extra for employee who go and pursue engineering master degree ... Feel like damn demoralized..... How to even start family and service a HDB loan.. |

Unregistered | This is not the 1980s. 5-6k is simply just enough to feed a family of 4 with a 3 rm hdb flat. Everyone will suffer when the kids grow up. Pls have more financial sense of Sg's economic situation. | |

Unregistered | my advice is to switch to economics, accountacy or finance and try to do well... dun waste your life as an engineer... little prospect and financial returns at the end of the day... i have worked as an engineer for over 10 years.. itz a little too late for me to change track already... you younger generation still got chance to make it right for yourself... dun believe the ******** they tell you about engineering...itz a scam... You will REGRET if you choose this road... your future wife and kids will also suffer with you.... Good luck!!! | |

https://btech.eng.nus.edu.sg/btech/A...quirement.aspx Polytechnic Diploma in a relevant field of Engineering or equivalent local / foreign qualifications. Duration of the diploma must be at least a 3 years course. If you diploma is from a reputable sch, should be fine. |
