MONEY FM 89.3 - The Breakfast Huddle with Elliott Danker, Manisha Tank and Finance Presenter Ryan Huang

For years, Singaporeans were told the formula was simple: study hard, get a degree, land a stable job. But for many fresh graduates today, that promise feels a lot less certain. With entry-level jobs now demanding multiple internships, industry experience and “third-year job” skills before graduation, has the university degree become just the bare minimum? And as Gen Zs push back against being labelled “not hungry enough”, are young Singaporeans really entitled or simply navigating a job market that’s changed faster than expectations have? Linus Choo, Managing Director, Regional Governance, Ethos BeathChapman joins the conversation.
