Let’s us all stop kidding ourselves about “pursuing a career in STEM” in Singapore.
The only “STEM” field that matters are in the realm of computing, software engineering and at most stuff like cyber security.
The rest of your so-called “STEM” fields are low paying AF and are not worth pursuing. Just leave them for the cheaper foreign labour to take them up.
How many non computing/ software engineering STEM practitioners do you meet in Singapore that can ever earn more than 200k PA during the course of their career?
Hence, the way to go to have good earning prospects in Singapore for plebs is to after all…
1. Start your own business
2. Be some sort of youtuber or OF content creator
3. Investment Banking
4. Go into Computing/ SWE
5. Be a doctor/ lawyer
Tio bo?
Here are what netizens think:
- The doctor/ lawyer boat has sailed a long time ago. If you compute per hour pay, a lot of them lose out to tech workers. And the barriers of entry get higher every year with less prospects for advancement.
- 200k is damn low please.

- Creating STEM content is a thing. Best to do it with a STEM degree under your belt
