Based upon what you cared to reveal, & rightly so, as we are only merely nicks & strangers but this is Singapore - we are all bros, based upon our sacred National Pledge, to leave none behind - that you are in the civil service, with issues & considering HIGHLY on nightlife biz, here are some words of caution for you to ponder upon.

1. Nightlife biz is NOT as straightforward as many presumed. It is vastly complicated & one would have to deal with UNSAVOURY characters & their..er..requests, which is an UNDERSTATEMENT, for ordinary salarymen & even those who survive from the streets, to contemplate upon, & decisions made there to survive would be far more adverse than the mistake you had made & scarred you in the civil service .

It is a biz that is meant for those whom had graduated from UOSS - University of Streets of Singapore, whom grown up with the hard life on the streets, with contacts, & certainly not for someone whom had lead a sheltered life, narrowed focus solely on academic acheivements with a degree as you earned a salary of $5000+, which no taxpayer would pay if you have no relevant quantifiable skills, experience or qualifications.

It is NOT a job that mere linear statistics of accounting, a few months talking to nightlife operators whom will never reveal their true earnings & deep issues, that you would presume that you can do the same, & thus many sheltered citizens had failed, with huge debts.


2. It is comprehensible that in you current predicament & stage of life that you would contemplate leaving. If you really find it unbearable, than take a few months, with all the sheltered & protected earnings of Spore's civil service can offer - 8 to 5 hrs, annual leaves, paid medical, etc, etc, to learn a skill, eg - cooking skills to earn big bucks, be a hawker, whom earns more than a mere $5000 salary.

Search online or go for cooking courses, find the best, & focus on just one or a few dishes, and it would be enough to earn not CEO pay, but would be sufficient to afford a lifestyle you desire than the average SECURE salaryman.

If OldChangkee can sell mere curry puffs & buy landed properties, cars, etc, & a 24yr old can open 15 locations merely selling fried rice, so too can you, if you put your skills, Critical thinking, mental discipline & MANAGEMENT skills if any, learnt at Uni to it.


3. However, if you feel that you do not want the 6hr sweat & bulging muscles from all that frying, you may want to consider being on the forefront of blooming industries- such as green energy, amongst many other industries that made Singapore, a Rule of Law nation, truly a land of opportunities trusted by many Worldwide.

Set up a company, as a broker, not buyer or seller. It costs only a few hundreds. Then you will need to work hard, to source both buyers & sellers, meet their needs, and critically, your contacts within the civil service - invite them out, talk to them & ask for help, or for the help of their contacts. Be just part of the supply chain. As a registered & legal biz entity with term contracts written, you will be able to earn a passive income from such as long as you are able to keep clients satisfied with your service, & think critically far ahead of competition that may arise from a free market that the port city of Singapore where ALL goods worldwide passes through is.

Your civil service contacts & experiences in your line of work there WILL be of help, if you want to, to succeed, OR live life within that salary now that you are earning, work hard to correct mistakes & be recognized to be promoted, to be given a second chance, as it will still accord a measure of quality life many others living in foreign lands would salivate for.

All the best.
