From millennial to millionaire: striking gold in property and insurance
Lured by buoyant markets and flexible hours, some millennials have been ditching traditional professions to become property and insurance brokers
JERVIS Ng was pursuing a degree in law and business at Singapore Management University, but he soon realised he wanted a career in the real estate industry.
After starting a string of failed businesses while serving his national service, the 27-year-old gave himself an ultimatum to pick a career in insurance or real estate. When he saw property agents raking in commissions of as much as S$100,000 per month, he knew what to choose.
Today, he runs his own team, Jervis Ng Associates (JNA) Real Estate, under PropNex Realty. It was a path, he says, that offered him one of the fastest ways to repay his student loans.
