70% Teaching, 30% Theatre: The Reality of an Arts Career [W&S S2 E6]
Can you really make a living doing what you love in Singapore?
For Rowena See, theatre is her passion, but teaching accounts for around 70% of her income. The remaining 30% comes from theatre work.
And here's the surprising part: landing more than two theatre projects in a year can already feel like an amazing year for her.
Meanwhile, Fiona Chua balances modelling, acting and other creative jobs, planning her finances around an unpredictable stream of opportunities.
So what does financial stability actually look like when your dream career doesn't come with a fixed salary?
In this episode of Wise & Shine, Adrian Tan and Faith Choo sit down with Rowena and Fiona to uncover the realities of building a creative career in Singapore.
From taking on multiple jobs and managing irregular income to developing new skills and creating their own opportunities, they share what it really takes to keep pursuing the arts.
Because passion may be what gets you started, but financial planning is part of what keeps you going.
Would you give up a stable salary to pursue something you love?

She Quit MOE to Become a Professional Cosplayer [W&S S2 E5 ft Chanel Yui]
Quitting a stable job is one thing. Having enough money to survive if it fails is another.
Before Chanel Yui left teaching, she had saved enough to give herself a few years of runway.
That gave her room to try different paths: cosplay, modelling, content creation, events, art and retail — without betting everything on one idea.
Three years later, she is still taking risks, just calculated ones.
For anyone thinking about leaving a stable career, her story is a reminder that the leap does not start with the resignation letter. It starts with being ready for what comes after.

Your Job Might Survive AI. Will Your Skills? | LLSG Thought Leadership x Wise & Shine [W&S S2 E4]
AI can make work faster. But should it do all the thinking for us?
In this Wise & Shine conversation, Chelvin Loh, Dr Tommie Chen and Mario Jacober explore how AI is changing jobs, skills and the way people work.
The bigger question is not simply whether AI will replace jobs, but which tasks should be automated, where human judgement still matters and what skills will keep professionals relevant.
For working professionals, staying ahead may mean less chasing every new AI tool and more strengthening judgement, communication, adaptability and real-world capability.
Produced in partnership with Lifelong Learning Singapore.
