Agree! But imho, wages is only part of the solution, not the only factor.

 

[aceminer]

Woah, 19 years seh! Not easy. Usually non-family relationship don't last that long.

We reunited over Edmw

 

[DarkStarer]

How come stay HDB? I remember u were thinking of buying condo. Or you rent out the condo?

 

[PhantomOpera]

From just a workshop doing ICE engine to a full sales and workshop for all things related to EV?

What kind of sales and workshop for EVs do you do? Can cite your services? Thanks.

 

[charleslee1989]

of course, there are many other factors but we need changes in singapore's perception of technical jobs, be it white or blue collar....

 

[DarkStarer]

Ts how much are you paid in salary and dividend for your current job?

The reporter like not very realistic to paint you as blue collar worker when actually you are taking over family business.

 

[DarkStarer]

Also, gxgx on being the government propaganda mouthpiece to have degree to do blue collar jobs.

 

[charleslee1989]

What kind of sales and workshop for EVs do you do? Can cite your services? Thanks.

What I meant is that I want to sell and repair EVs, HEVs and FCEVs in the future lah as my skillset is very much in that area.

Right now, our services are servicing of HEVs' ICE engine, battery cell check on HEVs and EVs, replacement of powertrain parts and brake master pump on HEVs and EVs.

My salary is low lah...So far no dividends yet...


I am hybrid collar in a sense but it is slanted towards the blue side....

Also, gxgx on being the government propaganda mouthpiece to have degree to do blue collar jobs.

Keep it up ts!

 

[Calis_Yoda]

Definitely. The most difficult to change is what you said - the perception or rather, the mindset.

Example:
I've been through so many interviews in which interviewers asked me why I applied for a position in healthcare which includes a lot of practical/hands-on tasks when what I studied and graduated was in chemistry.

They all stared at me when I replied:
1. Why do I have to restricting myself to work in a job just related to what I studied? Nobody and there's no laws stating that I have to work in what i studied.

2. I have 1st aid certificate, the skillsets, experience, plus I also have the academic/knowledge in pharmaceuticals as part of the curriclum in the chemistry course I studied. Both can be Integrated and supplement each other, so I don't see why not.
