Hi guys. Looking at the state of the economy and the high-cost living these days, I was thinking if it is really gonna be difficult to find jobs. Two years later, I'll most probably be entering the workforce after my NS, but I'm kinda worried that I'll not be able to get a job of enough pay to feed my family. Let alone to be able to get that one job.
My mum told me as long as I have my diploma cert, I'll be granted at least a good chance to be able to successfully clinch a job. But the story is I may be looking fgor a job outside of my diploma. So what chances are there left? Is my mother right in any case?
Any advices to keep my mind in its stable condition?![]()

then can
diploma is can, but harder
just upgrade urself. education is the way out to poverty. i suggest plan plan plan then do do do
What ever job you land, don't miss the cardinal rule of security.
Save Save Save.
Besides your CPF contribution, open an savings account, and put, in without fail at least 5 - 10 % of your pay. Do not touch this money at all. Absolutely.
When the savings grows substantial, invest it.
Start immediately. Don't OK, later. But Now!
Believe me, you have only yourself to rely on. Don't depend on the government.
Have some confidence in yourself. When there is a will, there is always a way.
Sure have jobs. It's just a matter of whether they want you or not.
Poly certs are nothing nowadays

I totally agree with saving. it's not the matter of how much you earn, it's how much you can save, just like the already existing threads. High post = High Pay = High Expenditure. Average post = Average Pay = Average Expenditure. So if you're not those post that require you to be very very presentable, You probably don't need a closet full of Designer Shirts and Pants, or also don't need to spend excessive money on entertaining, and networking.
the end of story is, make use of what you have, got hands and legs, sure won't die of hunger. Won't be millionaire, but you'll be just like any other people. Be content and you'll be fine.
oh.. a stable mind would be, don't sign on. :)
Start your own business lor
as long as u got a diploma education in whatever discipline, u can alway choose a career that suit u most, cos u hv a passion for it, what is the use of choosing a career that u got no passion on it and yet hv to struggle thru it.
Education is not only a mean of getting a job or good job, the priorty of education is to get yourself disciplined, knowledgeble, the ability to upgrade and most importantly, a good citzen and contributor to the society and nation.
there are people with PhD, master degrees, but yet the bad things they do are so shameful that even a cleaner can win them anytime.
