She's happy that her degree holder husband, 30, resigned from his job to become a private hire driver

[Johnrambo]

.................Feeling like he was in a dead-end job at a company where he was underpaid and underappreciated, my Husband took a leap of faith and resigned from his desk job so that he could earn more and have more flexibility in his schedule to look after our baby.

With Uber and Grab, it was possible. He was just 30 years old then.

After becoming a PHVD, he was able to send our two daughters every morning to my parents’ place before turning on his driver app, up until they each turned 18 months. That ‘gig’ took 3 years of his life and he hasn’t looked back since.

Yes, now my Husband lacks a career path, doesn’t have any “marketable skills” for his resume, and his business degree may have been a waste of time and money; but what he did was a selfless act of sacrifice for our family.

Never heard of infant/child care meh? This article looks to be paid and to placate the resentment of having to work as a driver as erections coming. The wife says husband's previous job was unappreciated and underpaid, meaning he was also underemployed, and driving grab solves all these? No driver will tell you they are appreciated!! There are facebook groups dedicated to the daily grind and abuses that drivers face, things like who should cancel the call, can't wait more than 5 mins or nitty gritty things like child booster seats not available, refuse to accomodate pets etc and "customer is always right" nonsense.

If there are two things that sinkie women are proud to boast to their friends, it is their kids' grades and their husbands' professions. This article is paid.... whether author is a real person notwithstanding.

this wife sounds not bad if she is truthful about those words.

 

[eatshitndie]

sinkie women are easily swayed by men driving them (and their precious little tots) around in cars.

Seems like a level-headed woman devoid of the need to be how lian or keeping up with the Jones. I am happy for him. And if she sucks and swallows, he is set for life.

This sounds more like an advertisement.

I think both ways. The woman also can have ample chances for company functions and late night meetings.

Why do Our NTU/NUS graduates end up driving Uber/Grab?

The government likes to proudly show off the rankings of our schools, in particular that of NUS and NTU. Of course, it serves to demonstrate everyone should aspire to secure degrees from these schools so as to ensure they get good jobs et cetera.

Recently, I attended a Private Hire Car Driver's Vocational Licence (PDVL) training; here's a shocking fact I discovered when my curious self went around surveying for a bit - many of the folks attending the classes were ex-PMETs from polytechnics, NTU and NUS! A lot of them previously were in computer science, electrical and civil engineering jobs before being replaced. I counted a handful of them in their 30s and while most were in their 40s. There were also some fresh graduates who could not land jobs yet and so resorted to driving to earn a living. Dear lord! You mean to say our graduates from these top schools in Asia couldn't find proper employment?! One of the common reasons supplied was that too many foreigners were plying the same trade as them and at considerably lower salaries. In other words, a huge quantity of electrical engineering jobs going instead to Indians FTs and civil engineering jobs snagged by Filipinos.

The clowns at the top echelons of our G are always boasting about the country attaining GDP growth, oh come on even the dumb would know GDP growth can be achieved by importing vast quantities of foreign labour. Ooooh yes that means millions of foreigners, and here's a fun fact: our population is supposed to only hit 7 million by 2030 yet we are already nearing the 6 million mark, mind you this is only 2018. The doors are thrown wide open to the rest of the world, in the process causing so many locals to become underemployed or unemployed. While the government constantly publishes reports about how awesome the Singapore education system is, they prefer to go around hiring cheap labour with dubious academic credentials from third world countries.

Many of our locals live in HDB dwellings and are thus saddled with enormous housing loans; without jobs to fund their debts and living expenses , they are left with little choice but to force themselves to become private hire car drivers. When autonomous vehicles finally arrive at the scene in a big way, what then next? Take an elevator to the tallest floor of Marina Bay Sands Hotel tower and contemplate "migrating" to the netherworld?

Nowadays PHV drivers earn more than some fresh grads. it's a good switch

 

[syed putra]

Thats easy to understand. Our universities are too classy. The degree more for scientist at cambridge or MIT. Not suitable for local industries which basically assembles or sell products.

 

[Baccara77]

Would she have married her if her then boyfriend started off as a PHV driver?

 

[AhMeng]

PHV driver can meet Minimum sum when he hits 55?

Sounds more like a fantasy.

 

[Froggy]

I wan to stop selling screws in Thailand, I missed Singapore. This could be a good opportunity for my next career jump.

 

[laksaboy]

She's 'happy' until a better, wealthier man comes along.



Ignore what women say, observe what they do.
