I am currently 32 years old and have been working in the banking, accounting and finance industry since I graduated from university. I am looking to do a career switch but need advice. Can you help?

I have been working as an auditor and accountant since I graduated. This is all I've known but I am thinking of changing my job into a different industry to work as a school teacher. Before I can become a MOE-certified teacher, I need to first go through the training course. That also means taking time to study and prepare to be a teacher. I'm almost in my mid-30s and I need to financially support my family as well. My starting pay as a teacher will not be as high as my current job in a bank.

U definitely need savings first because ceritfication as a moe teacher may take a year or two.

starting pay as teacher not as high - is ur family ok with this? are u ok with this? u only have 1 life so i would say pursue what u want but also be reasonable with urself and ur family.

Savings, investments, part-time work as a tuition teacher. Cut down on your non-essentianl, discretionary spending

Hi guys, I am a 24 year old about to graduate from university in a few months. I worked out my finances and estimate that I would be able to set aside $11K per year for investment?

I'm 30 years old and is in a statutory board since graduation. I'm a non-scholar. What are some of the career advice? Will it be hard for me to re-enter MNCs? or should i continue in public service?

What is your advice to people who already have been working in a specific industry but due to circumstances are stuck with no growth? Would switching industry "waste" the last few years of work?

Exploring a switch into another industry, but will be doing finance and accounting in that industry. Will appreciate some input as I am having difficulty! Thanks! Which industries are more interesting to work in?

I am currently 20, in my first year or university with about 5k in savings, and currently not engaging in any part-time work. Any advice on how to grow my savings ?
