In malaysia, if you really want to earn, you have to be one of the best,

you have to be that someone studios/firms die for, they want you so much they would even ask you how much you want as your salary.

In a different perspective, don't design for money, design because you love designing, when you have this mindset, you would definitely have a good portfolio.


I agree,

well i think a degree does help unless it's from a more unknown institution. besides your portfolio it depends entirely on how well you promote yourself. Because i remember for me...my friends and i all went for the same interview and i got the highest offer (no im not bragging) i just happen to talk more and smile more. At the end of the day, your experience counts too not only in the field of design. It's best to be a jack of all trades.

But as quoted, can't earn that much as compared to other countries. You'll have to do it solely because you enjoy designing. The effort and amount of time put in isn't worth the pay in my opinion - for Malaysia at least
