A Straits Times job survey throws up some surprises, with six in 10 people saying their jobs are good and holding the view that a university degree is not needed to snag a good post.
They associate a good job with pay and benefits, work-life balance, good bosses and colleagues, and career advancement.
As for the future, the people polled are less certain about what it holds for the next generation of workers. There are as many pessimists as there are optimists among the 501 surveyed, with the majority citing competition from foreigners and the young's poor work attitude as the two biggest obstacles between future workers and a good job.
