Does it mean there is no hope to venture in? are there having chance still?
please advice.
Why did you get fired? Incompetence?

If you are ok to be a financial planner, try advisor clique. I rarely see them not taking in people. In gist banks are harder to get in as compared to those places that are private. Do note that you will be consider a SEP if you are working as a financial planner for non banking institutions

Unregistered Probably close to impossible. MAS regulates the finance industry and firms are expected to do their own due diligence on their new-hires. I don't think any firm would take the risk of hiring a previously fired employee given the potential repercussions from MAS.

If you are determined and willing to work hard, why not? But you must be sincere about wanting to help people and not for the sake of money, or you end up being one of those pushy agents. Maybe you can prove your sincerity and determination by first taking the compulsory basic insurance course at Singapore college of insurance. The basic course is mandated by MAS for all insurance agents. Once you have achieved this course, it will be easier to get employed by one of the many insurance companies although if I am not wrong, insurance companies are supposed to pay for the courses of their employees.

All the best.
