I applied health science mid career and got rejected. They say is an unspoken rule but they will only accept 40s above applications.

40s above after 2 years of training, they will give job? 😱

I encourage you to go the health science route. Then you will be so tired after work everyday that you simply won't have the energy to go all these social media platforms to see and compare lives.

No ah. Im offering a practical solution that solves both problems - her money woes and her challenge of comparison with her peers.

Health sciences got no money.

Compare with peers is even more sad.

In SG the money is in finance, law, trading oil and gas, energy, commodities. Property. Insurance.

Have you thought of becoming a therapist? Social work (not the type help poor people access services but counseling and talk therapy for mental health). Or Psychologist.

You might be the wounded healer type know how it feels to be down, mood depressed, anxious etc. Then can empathize and help others.
Is always my dream to be one. But right now I have no means. Sounds like building castle in the air but if I win 12m toto solo and after I really sort out my stuff and settle down, I would seriously consider learning TCM and also psychology. So that I can travel around the world and see things while doing my part. And I always wanna setup social enterprise to help youth at risk and single parent.

I see my colleagues, those with low ranks but able to go for 1-2 holidays per year, stay condo and bought new car during height of COE earlier this year.

Got 2 to 3 kids and helper

I roughly calculate their pay together with the husband job title sure run into deficit every month. No idea how they can survive

Nursing diploma is 3 years. Degree another 4 years.

Those 40s above mid career will have to sign a bond to study diploma while getting allowance (probably 2 to 3k?) then after that will go work. And bond another 3 years I think. After that if do will can consider to get sponsored to uni.

Nursing no shortcut. You can't jump to degree without diploma. If not a lot people would do this already I think.

I also hope I win Lotto Max 70m solo. After that I can really sort myself out too and settle down.

Probably buy each of my kids 2 properties each. Put in about 5m into ETFs with 100k a month distributions. Travel around the world and see things.

I can't be bothered with doing any part for anyone.

I see more and more people doing property. Honestly quite disgusting. Realtors in sg are nothing but sales people. I just saw one tdy at ig posting achievements despite 2 mths into it. Always like to have all sorts of award ceremonies. Ownself praise ownself like miw.

Sales is service. You shouldn't look at it negatively. Unscrupulous sales people is not the same as doing good sales work.

All companies need to have good sales service otherwise the business will not grow and fail.

Sales is also where the money is.

Even if you are a good therapist you have to "sell" yourself. Make yourself known. Service the clients.

Marketing.

Award ceremonies are good to maintain morale and keep spirits up.

In sales there is A LOT of rejection as well. Need to have mental fortitude to cope with the negativity that comes from rejection.
