- Neither would pay my bills. There are much higher paying jobs in that field. Keep looking
- 1..... at least you'll have some spare time left in the evening.
- I'd choose 1. Even though you think there is not much career development, there is if it is such a new company and it's your own to make. The hours are better because you can have quality of life and it will always give you the opportunity to make yourself indispensable.... Regarding the stress, it is only as stress full as you allow it to be.
- You should consider the job scope &/or responsibilities, prospects, training and company hierarchy in deciding the kind of job or career you desire based on your qualification to justify the money, effort and time of your academic pursuit. In fact, are you considering a career or a job? If I am in your position, I would reject both because it is way below the range of a salary survey in administrative work. Nevertheless, no one can tell you which one is the right one for you except yourself. You must know what you need to achieve with a business degree on your hands. Currently, the job market in Singapore will force you to accept a basic salary of SGD2,200.00 for administrative or support role. Well, stress is inherent in every job or career that you choose and it is up to you to manage and cope with it. Stress itself is a good job motivator and indication of your ability to perform well in tough and time-sensitive situations. So, it is your call! Consider management trainee position to maximise your potential and realise your degree value.
