More than half of JC students expect to earn $3,000 monthly for their first job
Posted by temasektimes on June 15, 2012
In
a survey conducted by BrightSparks, a scholarship, higher education and
career portal 55.4 per cent of ‘A’ level and IB graduates said they
expect to earn more than S$3,000 per month while 10 percent expects to
make more than S$4,000 per month after they graduate.Four in 10 students voted Business Administration as the most popular course of study, followed by Accounting (28.8%) and Engineering (28.6%) based on findings of the same survey which covered some 2,700 students.
The top five most popular industries to work in are banking and financial services, airline/travel, public service, healthcare and auditing/accounting.
The survey also found that students prefer scholarships issued by local universities to those awarded by government agencies or companies.
The National University of Singapore retained the top spot as the most popular scholarship provider followed by NTU.

It is realistic to expect more. Not exactly building castles in the air but they should also be realistic about getting lesser since they are competing with foreigners.

Theory differs from reality.

expectations so low?
-
Must be those "Truly" Singaporeans....
who expect to be highly paid just because they think their command of english language is the best in asia..
where in fact it's no longer
"alamak...it's only singlish...you call that english meh?"

JC is still pretty young.

In this economic climate, land an interview 1st before thinking about the pay scale...
-
When they come out to work next time, coe could be 150K, HDB could be 800K.
Asking for 3-4K starting pay might not even be enough.
