having work for the past 14+ years in engineering and related support function, i think engineering provide me with a good training/exposure. if one is not too ambitious, engineering can still make ends meet. what is important today is the need to adjust our skills to suit the changing economy and increase competition. i will still support my kids to have tertiary training in engineering and adjust as he/she progress the career ladder.

In my opinion, I think Singapore is a bit too small. Area 699 sq.km with a 4 million population. A small little province in China or Vietnam is so much bigger.

I had a friend who is in Building construction. He once said, ' Singapore don't have much land for him to build houses . In order to build new houses, old houses had to be torned down. Ten years ago, he ventured into Vietnam and is now building condominiums for sale/rental in the Singapore Vietnam industrial Park.

Actually, we should not give up. Whether we are in Mechanical, electrical, eletronics, civil, structural, aeronautical Engineering, we still had to depend on oppourtunites and some luck to do well in our respective discipline.

 Smiley Probably we can look out for joint-venture MNC's and wait for a chance to be posted overseas where career advancements are more prominant.  Smiley we wish ourselves to have better luck in future.  waving
