The 'hawker interns' selling prawn mee: Choosing the hawker life over the tried and tested route
Joanne Heng and Chan Kheng Yee were about to graduate from university, and were looking for a full-time job. But a "random" job ad online set them on the path to hawker life.

Good article Lainne. Well done Joanne & Kheng Yee! Not afraid of getting your hands dirty & to overcome the long hours of hard works. Humanity in action! Blessed are the humble, for they inherit the earth! Jack Ma and Bill Gates both have humble beginning before they are successful. MOE, EDB and MOM should craft out an accredited succession plan to preserve the Singapore multicultural hawker heritage to have a sustainable career tracks for more young hard working Singaporeans to strive and be successful.

Waste govt subsidies to study at the university.

Why be so calculative, university graduate is always free to be a hawker. A hawker can also be free to be a university graduate. This is called Equality.

People who goes University ( like University of Social Science ) are driving Grab full time as well. Why ??

I saw these two girls working at the prawn noodle stall previously at Golden Mile Hawker Centre. They were cery cheerful snd hardworking. I thought they were the stall owner's daughters. Surprised to see children helping at their parents' hawker stall. Impressed.
Keep up the good work but very important, finish your degree with flying colours.

Once first stall sucessful, they can open multiple stalls and start collecting franchise fees. Its not old style hawkers. But initially not easy.

Now in the era of disruptive technologies that will disrupt even the most solid traditional industry - we cannot rule out any trade or profession.
Any ways that can bring income and profit and business and jobs - will be a good way.
It may not be possible to stick to the old traditional way of doing business or jobs.

Eg.
(1) Taxi - hit by uber, grab
(2) Bank - hit by blockchain
(3) IT - hit by cloud
(4) Retail - hit by online shopping
(5) Oil - hit by renewable energy
(6) Manufacturing - hit by robotics
etc
Practically all aspects of the traditional industries - are affected by Digital Economy --- we cannot rule out anything that works, that bring in income, that bring in business, that bring in profit, that bring in jobs.
