I just saw the Top 100 Jobs in Singapore list at Salary.sg and looks like being an entrepreneur is not even in the Top 100 list. Bummer

Well but if I were to follow through with my plan of a 9-to-5 job as a boring established engineer, I can make as much as $4.6K a month!

But I will stick to my plan and goal in life. To have my own business and doing a job I love

The thought of working under a boss or a crappy company that don’t appreciate me again just frightens me. I’m seeking a satisfying job out of my unique self-skills that I can use to earn a living yet having that creative freedom and having some fun out of it too. It’s being an entrepreneur or nothing …

I can always fall back onto my 9-to-5 job anytime right. I’m still young. Well kinda, haha. Anyway here’s the Top 100 Job List. I’ll stop rambling now. Are you seeking a career change now after seeing the list?

    To get you to $4.6K will require you to have experience too…Its not a price you get when you leave school..

  3. feardaus says:

      Saya sebenarnya amat sedih dengan komen anda…”yg penting cukup pendapatan buat kehidupan harian dan bahagia”..

      The reason why our community are not progressing as fast as it should is because of this…they are too satisfied where they are….i hope someday the mindset of our people will start to change. Rather than just think about yourself, build up something that can benefit society and thrust them further…Money will eventually come..

      You can have anything you want in this life, as long as you help enough other people get what they want – Zig Ziggler
