SINGAPORE: After a decade of working as a security officer, a 35-year-old man took to an online forum to ask Singaporeans if it was too late to pivot to another career.
In a recent post on the r/singaporehappenings forum, the man confessed that he was “tired” of working in a position that only pays S$2,300. “ stuck with this job after my divorce. I don’t know why I’m working in this line,” he said. “I need to change careers, but I don’t know what I’m good at. I also realize I’m scared to step out of my comfort zone.”
The man added at the end of his post that his goal is to find a job with flexible hours that pays S$3,000.In the comments, many users reassured him that it was never too late to make a career switch, although they acknowledged that it wouldn’t be easy. To motivate him further, another shared, “Bro, I’m in my late 40s doing a PhD. It’s never too late to change! I’ll admit that having savings and zero commitments helped me a lot, but my brother went to med school while already in debt and with a young child. Now, he’s a successful doctor, so yes, you can do it!”
One user said, “If I remember correctly, even Grabfood alone can earn S$2.3k a month when I did last time. You can use your skill future credits to upskill and get some certs to get a higher-paying job. Try manufacturing.”In other news, a 17-year-old Singaporean was shocked when she discovered that her parents had secretly placed a tracker on her, hidden within the fabrics of her school bag.
