Noob seeking for some career advice

I’m an eee graduate from Ntu. after 2 years of working in engineering field(stat board), I’ve realised that I don’t really like this career. Recently, I intended to take a business analytic master course offered by nus school of biz. But the school fee is so expensive compared to normal engineering course(44,000sgd). Besides I also worry either I can’t find a better analytic job or I don’t really like biz analytic job in future also. Really appreciate any suggestions about my career path or master course that is suitable for me

I think EE is great. Go get a LEW and register as a PE. U wun be without a job since these qualifications have a higher barrier to entry.

Maybe the issue is u working for stat board. Should give private sector a try. EE is very wide from semi conductor to power to construction etc

Most important is why you interested in analytics ? A lot of ppl died following the gahmen’s trend when they switch trends every few years.

Bro, if you're really serious about finding out more, you should talk to a Career Coach and get some professional career guidance. Good news is that don't have to pay for one, just make an appointment at: http://www.wsg.gov.sg/career-servic...44.1084816823.1513368635-302880753.1513368635

All the best for your career transitions!

Their database is centralize, so only needs to go to one career centre instead of going around e2i, CDC & WSG.

Going to their Career Coach is a waste of time. Majorly do not have HR or Hiring Manager experience, so what can they offer their advice?
