“I fear for his financial future,” Man worried as his brother, who moved to Australia to find a permanent lecturing position, is running out of savings​

SINGAPORE: A man turned to social media for advice after discovering that his brother, who had moved to Australia to find a permanent lecturing position, is running out of savings.

In his post on Reddit’s ‘Ask Singapore’ forum, he shared that his brother has a PhD but has been struggling to land a stable academic position since relocating to Melbourne.

Right now, his brother works as a contract lecturer, taking on short-term teaching gigs that last about three months at a time.

“So far he has had no success,” he wrote. “Occasionally he will have dry periods with zero income. He told me his savings are nearly depleted.”

To make ends meet during these dry spells, his brother has resorted to driving for Uber. “I can tell he is getting frustrated with his situation,” he wrote.

The man also shared that his brother is turning 40 soon and remains single, so he doesn’t have the added responsibility of dependants.

However, the lack of financial stability and the depletion of his savings are a growing concern. While their parents are willing to step in and provide support for now, he’s worried about the long-term picture, especially since his parents won’t be around forever to help out.

“I fear for his financial future. What can I do to help him build a bit of retirement savings?” he asked. “I have thought about helping him top up CPF. Is there other ways I can help, without becoming a crutch to him?”

“Maybe he should look for other employment instead of lecturing.”​

In the discussion thread, a few Singaporean Redditors suggested that the brother consider returning to Singapore and exploring job opportunities in a different field.

They pointed out that transitioning into industries that value research and analytical skills could provide more stability and better prospects.

One Redditor said, “Maybe he should look for other employments instead of lecturing. With his knowledge, I’m sure he can find a role in health care.”

Another commented, “Must he really have an academic position? Depending on his field, he could consider pivoting into industry?”

A third said, “He needs a reality check. That’s what you guys can do for him now—that would help everybody.

“Sure, it’s nice if he can get a job there, but he needs to get it first, what… Come back, get a teaching job, then slowly look lor.”

In other news, a part-time employee working in the education sector took to social media to share that, after he was fired, his boss forced him to reveal his new employer.

“The boss insisted that I must tell him the new company name. But I don’t want to, I had rejected him face-to-face and said I am not able to provide you with the details of my new company name,” he wrote.

The employee also said that during their conversation, his boss would use a threatening tone while asking him for his new employer’s details.

SG prostitute media bogeymanning and fearmongering sinkies into not migrating.

I have plenty of success stories of sinkie immigrants making it successfully.

Most have a couple of freehold landed properties. Most have at least 2 cars in their garage.
Some of their homes come equipped with swimming pools. Some have holiday caravans parked outside for use in summer travels.

A few have boats parked on their lawn for fishing during weekends. All have overinflated 401Ks or Superannuations for their retirement. And they earn perennial rental from their properties.

Their kids being Asians, tend to do well in university, which is free. Then they graduate with jobs that pays at least $100K. All have medical coverage free from the state. All will get pension from the state.

And the best icing on the cake? They then let their parents to move with them and get PR status for them!!! Their parents rent out the property in SG (HDB or whatever) plus they get their payout from CPF!!!!

MIGRANTS WIN WIN WIN.

For that poor boy who is failing to get a lecturing position, he is doing it the wrong way. Or that he is really a social outcast which means he should not migrate. His pool is with the rest of social outcasts AKA singaporeans.

Loser please stay in SG. Because other places there is discrimination!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
What did I say ? No matter how much education a coolie gene Sinkie has it will never amount to much. Driving a grab is his future.
 
Singapore also got…PhD also drive PHV
 
He should reskill and retrain to be a plumber or mechanic.:biggrin:
