haha.... Few months ago, my elder sis gave me a link on Top 10 High Paid Job, and one of the Top 10 is Designer.  And I told my sis that, this is not true in M'sia, unless you are an Art Director or Creative Director.

I'm considering lucky after I read all of your posts here, coz, I'm a Communication Degree holder, but loves designing, so start my job as graphic designer at RM1k + RM200 petrol allowance and I work for only 1 month....hahhaha...

Then continue study in IT as I see the future have high possibility in moving to IT world which maybe related to design and here we called it UI/animation/interactive stuffs.  So after grad from IT, I try to change my job to IT field but fail as the manager (Marketing HOD) loves me very much as I can communicate well in 3 languages spontaneously (dunno why and this is the reason she gave me???) but I work for 2 months only and get paid at RM1.6k as management trainee.

Then move to another entertainment company as graphic designer for 1 year at the paid of RM1.8k....ya la...GD cum Web designing....haiz...no mention has involve in alittle bit of IT (WTF??? ..... ask me to wait for IT guy to check server?? I'm a designer ler!!)  Cakap oni probation 6 mths but then drag till 1 year!!! WTH!!!... When I want to resign, then only they said wanna confirm me!! shit them!! But, no bother, just resign and move to a software company until now.

So, as usual, workload byk, stress byk till you dun really know what is STRESS ... but can train up ur speed...can finish a design in few minutes or few seconds ..... had chances to go oversea to help in UI development, have chance to learn new technology and the salary gurantee increase every year and of course based on ur performance...

*this company not so bad la...coz..when I 1st join, they pay ard RM2.xk, within a year increase about RM1k...then every year increase lagi ler....plus bonus and now, consider as senior staff although the title is not, but enjoying good good benefits .....

haha...now specialize in Intranet UI development and other multimedia interactive thing.... so...mostly P&C lorrr......   

But if you want to, can check out at any music store .... give u hints:
1. The most famous entertainment company that produce CNY albums in M'sia...try to look at year 2007 and 2008 ...yup..that's mine
2. The logo is like a triangle.
3. See the changes before 2007 design and till 2008 .... I don't really know it, but it does gives a big impact to the fans or buyer about the design as the operation department get good feedback from the fans saying the design is totally different than previous years....    The design has goes till oversea and other country (erherm erherm...) trying to mimic my design to produce erherm erherm copy ... (bad huh.... )
4. All albums that produce within 2007-2008 is mine design.....including movie or single album cover, banner and poster ......
