Yeah alot of jobs are low paid even accountants etc. I 15yrs, not yet 4k. That is why ppl change career as it is not making enough money to meet ends.

My career switch was in the reverse. I was at the peak of my sales career in an MNC company, earning very good income higher than my peers. Then after 7 years, I decided to leave for early childhood education career, earning only 10% of my previous pay and forging all the perks I had. Everybody thought I was mad, but I did not regret my career switch. I worked full time as a kindergarten teacher, while taking part time early childhood courses, and at the same time worked as a part time insurance agent to support my family. Thank God I was able to juggle all the 3 tasks well and still have time for my family. So I can only say that it all depends on what each person wants in life and their career, and also how they plan to move up the career ladder of their chosen industry. Nothing comes without effort and passion. Of course, the salary for early childhood educators could have been higher to attract more passionate and qualified teachers. (Note: during my era, my pay as a kindergarten teacher was than $1k.)

Hope that sg gov and ecda will watch this video. Gov should subsidize more pay for good qualified local teachers and not just simply keep hiring foreigners to do the job of educating our young ones.

I don't understand why healthcare and teaching, 2 of the most important jobs in Singapore pays so low. My wife is a therapist aide with 6 years experience dealing with elderly care and she only gets job offers at $1800p.m. Ridiculous!

Thank you for sharing! I am considering on going into the teaching field and am looking at people's experiences to try and get a feel of it. If you don't mind sharing, what was the main reason (or top few reasons if you can't pinpoint one,) that made you decide to leave the teaching field? Was it a pull factor towards tech, or a push factor away from teaching?

yall getting 4k from early childhood?? bro mines in the low 2ks after cpf after 5 years lol

Im 39 this year, why everyone seems to talk about their burnout in their field? In all field including real estate agent, banking, kindergarten teacher, moe teacher…kanasai so what the elderly said about strawberry generations is really true sia

Yess, totally agree w her, im in the early childhood field too... Its been 4yrs 🤔 in this field, and now im really tired, yes i love kids, but...

TH-cam algo randomly brought me here as I am about to get retrenched but have a side hustle that I can go full time I into. (Guess the algo knows my situation better than me 😅) Great quality content and watching your videos gave me the courage to take the next leap in life! 🎉

y'all so pretty, wow. But anyway I can empathise with how she must have felt, having to leave a dream career which she loves and has invested so much in, because it doesnt pay well enough... $4000+ after 10 years is not reasonable in Singapore.

What subject did you teach in public school in Singapore and is it primary or secondary school?

thank you so much for your sharing! I have left the service too and now am in the phase of figuring out what's next and I totally relate to the feeling of having doubts and fears of what's next! kudos to you for taking that step!

Which primary school are you teaching?

Hi, do you know how long it will take for the results of the interview to be available?

(Part 2). A school organisation is of follows, School leaders=1 P, 2-3 VPs, Education officers (EOs) ie teachers = HODs, Subject Heads, Teachers, Allied Educators & Education support = counsellors, Special needs, Career counsellors. I thought being hired by a girls school will mean more behaved students. Oh boy was I so mistaken LOL!!!. Lastly the Executive and Administration Staff dept = General office, operations, IT, lab support. Everyone has a Reporting officer. As such my IT dept and the two computing teachers RO's is the HOD ICT. Tips to survive school environment: Officially my break time is 30 minutes. However I have the luxury of having a flexible break time to avoid the student's recess/lunch time. As mentioned by Krystal in another video that bio break can be a luxury and even less a proper sitdown lunch break. This is even more noticeable if you are like myself being posted in an opposite single gender school where there are limited male toilets (only staff toilets available) since there is zero male students ie zero toilets near the student blocks. Also I cant stress enough the importance of the quality of the canteen in school. My school is located in a location where the public food choices within reach is MEH but the canteen has multiple stalls that caters for my restricted dietary needs. (no prices for guessing which restriction that is lol). So for the most part the only food you have within reach are from the canteen. The advantage of SS&JC that comes with the usually longer working school operation hours is that the canteen is already operational before school starts (breakfast) and still have food for the graduating cohort who will have their second recess/lunch (12.50pm for mine) since they are staying back longer for extra lessons. Also the portion is more 'adult friendly' since it is catered for teenagers. It may seem trivial but environment has a big influence on your motivation&psyche at work. (just look at Google HQ and their free lunch bar).
