I need your help and experience. From a post spm Grad (Serious)

general question

To start off, i know you guys will be thinking this guy should ask questions in the spm megathread. And dont worry, i did. Im just asking here again for more engagement because i need every help i can get. I understand how difficult it is to go through the spm megathread and seeing these half baked questions from students who expect the internet to help them out but provide no context or any prior research of their own. So, i hope you read this and really understand that im doing this because i want to be thorough before i regret things and say i missed out on this or that just because i didnt explore my options enough. You guys can see my last paragraph for my personal context but i think its better to look at my questions first because you could only care about my context if you feel like helping me with the questions.

  1. How do i find people to talk about my study options with?
  2. If i dont meet the requirements for scholarships which are usually for 8A solid and above
    can i still apply for them?
  3. How long did it take you guys to wait for semak semula spm? Because some other forum posts says they didnt get to see their recheck results before the deadline for most scholarships.
  4. How did you guys do your research after spm to explore your opportunities? Im looking for experiences you guys can share like:
    - How you found out about education fairs
    - Which resources you used
    - Are there any online communities that discuss specifically about this
  5. Is there anything that most students miss checking out or is just really hard to find that is actually a gold mine just sitting there.
  6. How do i actually find out about the reality of Malaysia's job market for all type of professions with real data, not just the typical 'study shows that x profession make Rm x per year on average'. I am just trying to understand the market better. So far, what ive done is looked at job listings and see their positions and salary offer. That puts some perspective into each job but i dont think im seeing the whole picture. Thats where i think these online forums could help.
  7. Did any of you guys apply to every scholarship in the country and how can i do so too? Because sometimes scholarship for not well known companies are more hidden and hard to find.

Essentially, i just want to put this out because i worked hard for my spm and i want to research my options properly. If you guys are not comfortable commenting please dm me and we can have a chat. I would really appreciate it. Ive actually got more questions but off the top of my head these 7 are what came out first right now. Of course you guys are free to ask me lots of stuff to because ive done some research off my own. Im just trying to find my blind side that maybe you guys can point out or help with.

(Personal context)
Im gonna provide my academic context and goals here at the bottom because the stuff at the top are the really important things i want people to read first. You guys can use this as a reference to understand my situation better for efficient assistance.
