Think outside the box, you don't have to own a mansion to be rich... all depends on what makes you happy. Some men live for money, some men live for work but it's a real man, richer man who knows what love's worth.
On the other hand it doesn't take the right parents to make the money... if you work for it, keep your eyes open for the breaks and don't give up then history tells us you'll probably get what you're after. Just be realistic and consider every opportunity that comes your way on its merits and not neccesarily face value.

Aiya, study business management better, more opportunity to be the boss, enginneer has to work alot and think alot yet cannot match mgt paid, who will be the one managing and controlling you.

All over the place, commonly known as one of the more prestigious courses.True to speak you might own a bungalow, 3 mercedez SL and having 8 credit cards, but you are in a debt of 4.3million to the bank in monthly instalments. You are in fact in the risk of being a bankrupt(in case you cannot pay up or your source of income gets cut off).
Being rich hmm, everything in Singapore belongs to the government, so you'll never make it.
Investments is the or entrepeneurship is the key.

From my personal experience: Engineers don’t get rich, for the kind of effort they put in, for the kind of contribution they make to a company, for the amount of time they sacrifice, they get paid pittance. For the same amount of effort, energy and time you will be well off in say accounting or finance. Of course, as someone mentioned, if you are truly one of those exceptional minds and perhaps working NOT in Singapore you might get rich.
The only attractive thing is that the starting pay of engineers looks high compared to other professions (still can’t compete with finance and bizz grads though) but salary and career advancement is quite slow and stagnant.
In today's Straits Times there was an article about some salary report. The only thing they mentioned about engineering is that starting pay is high, $2800 for fresh degree grad (anyway i dont see whats so special about this as it has remained at this level for the past 10 years). Not a single word on career advancement or salary increments or salry levels of mid-career proffessionals and such.

to all Engineers specialised in different
fields. Some specialised field , the practical work is so
un-attractive. Like geotechnical , geophysicists and mining
engineers. lol.. the work environment they gotta be put through.
Withouth them.. there wouldve been no progress. How about scientists ler.. the amout of time and bs they gotta put in. lol. May never even see any immediate results in thier lifetime man.
Any scientists here ? Care to share ur experience ? heh

engineers don’t get rich. Can be reasonably well off but thats it. Unless you change your job and go into management or finance or something.
It really depend. When you study engineering is doesnt necessary means that you will always end up spending your entire working life in the production floor as technical manager etc. Many people I know have gone from being an engineer to become sales director and their own bosses of the company.The strength of an engineer is that when you have learned how to the manufacturing process of certain products, you can then copy the technical know-how and start your own company, either by your own or with partners.
As Singapore is moving towards more highvalue added and hi-tech industry, I believe there will be many
