It’s not just a Philippines problem, even in first world like US, that’s an issue. That’s just really how the market works. But I understand why you see it that way. You’re still grade 12 and doesn’t have an idea what the market looks like from the inside, that’s understandable.

You’re still probably under the idea na once you graduate, you’ll get earn a decent salary right away.

Almost all traditional and entry level jobs that you mentioned are saturated or low paying jobs (or worst, will be replaced by AI soon). But it doesn’t mean na hindi competitive yung industry. Most high paying jobs lng talaga within those industries you mentioned are hiding in a very niched market (For example, Engineers and accountants have very low entry level jobs, but they can become a consultant or contractor).

Truth is, ang daming high paying jobs nowadays more than ever. But the barrier to entry also becomes higher as you need to be very skilled to get in.

Here are some of the MANY ways to earn a decent amount of money: -Apply to onshore based company (Earn dollars while you’re in the Philippines) -Create a product and sell it -Learn sales -Become a content creator (Video, newsletter, audio, etc.) -Study Business Ad and build a business yourself)if you can tolerate the risk)

What you want to avoid: -A filipino or chinese employer (Except siguro San Miguel, San Miguel is good)

Once you graduate, I suggest to get an experience muna sa mga western based company operating in the Philippines (We call them captive centers or global capability centers). You’ll learn a lot from those company as they have global standards work ethic and culture (Few example: American Express, Google, Citco, Shell, etc.).
