No interest in IT. Do u think going SIM finance/ acc is a good route? Like for employment, salary and career path?

I'm assuming you're not reading the news on oil and gas. There are many O&G companies out of Jurong Island and it's now facing difficulties to sustain their businesses. Thankfully, due to high oil prices or it will be worst off. Keppel already shut 3 yards what do you think? You got to ask yourself if you prefer oil bunker, offshore engineers, with or without sales and so on. Of cos good times good pay/bonus, bad economy retrenchment.
Accounts and finance lower pay stable job and they have transferable skill and not restricted to a specific industry. Since you've engineer educational background, can also look at construction, chemical, energy related industry such as power. Take some intern job (2weeks to 1 month) to ask your accounts colleague what they do on a daily basis. It may be a boring job to some. Take into consideration of your personality
