>  super low levels of income for the past 12 years since   graduated from the National University of Singapore in 2007.

Might be Off-Topic but  Since you mentioned, but still quite unbelievable to me;   because I also studied in Singapore in similar years,  the NUS is really the top-level school in Asia, can also say good ranking world widely;    can't believe NUS graduate unemployed 12 years?    Did you research hard to get better job decent income ?  rather than researching a low budget storage solution
