What do you want in future??
No No, this is not your typical "think of what you want to be in
future then work towards it" answer.
"In primary school, I wanna be a teacher.
In secondary school, accounting sounds good.
In poly, I want to go into engineering.
After poly, I ended up a toyota sales agent.
After marriage, I switched into property.
When I have kids, I drive a taxi.
.....and I'm still driving a taxi.
When do you wanna go?"

Don't spent too much time thinking about it. Cos what you will do
in future may be very different from what you took up, or your
interest.
The popular question in love relationships is "True Love or
Bread"?
The same question in your situation, can be losely translated into
"Do you really want to do/study/work in something you Love, or do
you want to be where the money is?"
Let's face the truth. Books who say "find something you love doing
and you're never going to work another day in your life" did not
say doing something you love equals to high income.
Books who say "love what you do and be the best in it with passion,
brings you high income." How many can actually achieve that? How
many people actually love what they do and will continue to love
what they do for their life?
Hence what your interests are count only secondary. What counts is
what you WANT in the future.
1. Money with a life style of clubbing every weekend with gals
swarming around you and you can pick which one you want to bring
home?
2. Money and Prestige with a lifestyle of the rich and famous,
being in the news, being constantly hounded by people?
3. Average singaporean family in 5 room HDB with wife and 3
kids?
4. Recognition by the media, constantly in the news for doing heart
breaking charity work to the homeless, war-torn countries but have
only enough to get by?
The permutations are endless.
It doesn't matter what your interests are in, or where your
strengths lies.
What matters is what you WANT in the future.
Imagine the scenrio: My strength is in painting. I get my joy in
painting, but my family hardly have enough to get by. True someday
my paintings may be recognised and sell for a million each, but the
keyword here is someday....
