      Urban Planner -Its not as easy as it seems

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Excellent workplace for fresh graduates to kick start your career. Able to learn very relevant skills and knowledge if you want to pursue a career in the built environment. Your job experience/knowledge will be deemed highly by future employers.

      Cons

      Very stressful environment where you have to compete with high-caliber colleagues who are usually scholars. No work-life balance as you always have to meet the deadlines. This means working on weekend to get back on track for the things you have neglected during the weekdays.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good company benefits Stable job Work is meaningful and benefits the public

      Cons

      Extremely bureaucratic - decisions require many layers of review before they can be made No penalties for incompetent staff, often resulting in more competent staff having to shoulder the extra workload Excessive amount of office politics Unclear organisation and reporting structure

      Enjoyable environment but career progression is quite slow

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great environment, convenient location, accessible to a lot of food, business casual dress code, manageable stress level, regular working hours, sometimes there is interesting projects but not often. One of the highest starting pay in SB for dip holder - compared to other SB of similar nature

      Cons

      Slow career progression if you're a diploma holder - lots of time you'll be told that the additional workload given (ie degree holder's job scope) is a step required in order to be considered to be promoted even though you've acquired a degree (a consideration for those who wish to take part time degree), recent re-org has caused a lot of tension and high turnover rate, can be a bit mundane.
