What job should I look into next? When is a good time to switch career?

I am a diploma holder, 23 this year, earning approx. $2500 a month. Currently working in a relatively big company with good employee benefits for about 1.5 years. There is no career path in my current department, unless I stay for more than well over 5 years which I am not looking forward to. I am studying a specialist diploma in data science (ending Aug 2019). Have not set my mind on whether I would pursue a university degree after which.

Sadly in Singapore without a degree many doors are locked. Get a degree ASAP and move to another job that offers better!

There are are also many IT certifications try and get some

Agree with what HC Tang said. Pursue a degree in your field and even a PhD if you can. Quit after getting bonuses if you can tahan. If not, now is as good a time as ever.

I am 39, I wish to change to full time retail job next year. But the economy is bad and i only have an 'O' level and ITE cert. So now, I am in a dilemma. I'm thinking if I should upgrade or look for full time job?

I have just came back to Singapore for good and planning to look for a resale HDB flat to buy near Tiong Bahru Market. I did some research is not a good time now, should I wait next year?

I’m in my 20s, still studying, are there any value-adding part-time jobs in the banking sector? I've already started investing on STI ETF, and I'm looking into robo-advisors next. Should I enter in lump-sum or DCA? How should I take my next step?

Our current HDB resale flat is 35 years old and we only moved in 2 years ago. How do we gauge when is a good time to start looking for the next property?

To real estate agents out there, is it a good time right now to do a career switch over if I want to be a real estate agent? What are the agencies recommended as well?
