Too low. Even for experience sake, that's just ridiculous abuse. But if you cannot really find any other job, take it for a moment but don't try to stay too long and make sure you have enough free time to look for another job. Check the terms whether you can quit without too much trouble.

having a degree with no experience means no value compared to no qualifications with experience.

doh.gif doh.gif The experience part come later once you actually work. The "No experience" is just stupid tactic employed by employer to justify low pay and some continue to pay low despite already have few years exp. Most uni grads are not that useless and can offer better contribution than non-degree holders (though the rate we are churning out low quality grads are of concern). The frankly RM1.3k is just ....really ridiculous unless you work in kampung area.

OK, but whether TS have had any industrial training? If no i think industrial trainee only get paid between rm500-1000?

"Most uni grads are not that useless and can offer better contribution than non-degree holders". Really depends on the job if it's practical or paper & pen. I still think non-degree holders with experience are way better than fresh grads, at least for the 1st 3 years, which justifies the low pay i guess. But sure if you live on your own rm1.3k can be tough, but better than rm0k.

Agreed on some point but at some field, fresh grads are actually more valued. I mean I need not have to explain to my client why we make a boo boo because the non-degree holder do not know basic calculus for engineering work.

It may be better than RM0k but like I said, only applies if you really really running out of option. Or else you are just ruining job market.
