Youngsters stay 10 football fields away from this industry.

Can you plan ahead? I think a better thing would be to do what your heart desires 'cos what you THINK maybe a hot and sizzling industry may not be the case after you graduate.

Things changes in the blink of an eye in Singapore.
what if the hot and sizzling industry at the time i graduate IS engineering?

Unregistered science is about theory and research... masters and phd is about more indepth research. what kind of company are u refering? most companies will definitely look for masters or phd where necessary especially in research work.

no abundant job opportunities.. esp in chem n bio in sillypore. research pay is slightly lower than market rate. but u get a qualification upon completion.

try govt sector.. mindef astar welcome masters and above.

for research jobs... most of the time they are looking for 2nd uppers and above.
