You got to be kidding.

Being a engineer, you have to struggle with work, work and more work.
Not forgetting you have to compete with more engineers that are imported from other countries and drawing the salary lower.
Being a engineer will not make you wealthy.
I have not known and found any engineers that have become wealthy through being a engineer.
Maybe I am not well-read.
Hope some one can prove me wrong.
various employers value the quantitative skills and problem solving skills of engineers who may particularly do well in the finance sector.
probably one reason you don't see any wealthy engineers in singapore is because the market for engineers is over competitive (with a small market demand for labour and large labour supply), driving the wages down; it does not help when firms have the opportunity to import foreign talents from india who can do the same job while accepting lower pay as well.
if you turn your sights on other countries such as australia, mining engineering graduates entering the market are looking at median salary packages in the 90k region annually, due mainly to a booming mining industry and the tons of natural resources waiting to be dug up.
all in all, an engineering background is a robust foundation for future career advances though you'd probably have to look elsewhere other than the singapore job market to experience its full potential.
have you considered studying economics instead?

yup, your dad is right :D
i'd think a cheap and reliable car that's low on the insurance premium as well.
just don't get so attached to it because scratches and dents will come in time.
not sure what whether you want a sedan or hatchback though, but there's lots of options available.
prices vary, so do look through several dealers and see which offer a better value.

get a cheap 2nd hand car between 1.6 to 2.0 first.
good for insurance premium for now and good for the heart too when you "accidentally" bang something.
comforts can always come later when you have a clearer idea of want you are looking for in a car; be it performance, creature comforts or lower costs.

Hi guys, i'm currently going through rider licensing in sydney.
I've already got my L's and I'm riding unsupervised already. Since I'll be staying here for a long time, I'll probably be upgrading to unrestricted license probably by end of next year.
After that I intend to convert to class 2 when I come back to Singapore.
What's the TP's stance on license conversion for motorcycles?

sorry ceecookie, please get your facts right. photos don't tell the whole story all the time. that's NOT mindef itself.
that's just a road that leads to 1st signal at the bottom of the hill.
up the hill there's a junction; turn left to hill view (they lock that gate after office hour, 7.30pm irrc).
turning right at the junction leads to a security checkpoint for vehicles, THEN to another security checkpoint for personnel again for bukit panjang camp and mindef.
only after office hours do they do their security checks at the main gates along upper bukit timah.
