Evan, Brayden, Amelia, Yashica Season 2 Episode 2

What happens when an accountant trades financial reports for a life at sea? In this episode of Career Remix!, we sit down with Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) Colonel Rinson Chua, a Navy officer who made the bold leap from crunching numbers in accounting to commanding ships. He shares the challenges of switching careers, the camaraderie that drew him back to the military, and what life in the Navy really looks like.

We also bust common myths—Are sailors always at sea? Do they have Wi-Fi?—and discuss the impact of AI on defense. Plus, Colonel Chua gives real talk on work-life balance, leadership, and why grades aren’t everything when it comes to success.

🌊 Tune in for an inside look at a career that’s both adventurous and meaningful!
