Do you think everyone can earn 5 digits as he wants? It's really boiled down to many reasons.
Think why many of them aren't earning 5 figures a month and why many people have 2 to 3 part time jobs.

So degree is quite important after all.

Seems like forever my salary will always below than what my friends earn.

just go through few pages, I am surprised why people complaining inflation is high in Malaysia and standard of living is high in major cities. Look at the salary, and the guy above me earned 25k at age 29. haha. and many of people here believed it is normal to earn at 5-6k by age 30.

Glad that my message brought a great impact to many forumers here! 

I'm taking ICSA in part time basis. Initially I aim to take Master in Economics or Master in Law, but local universities don't accept my application because I do no have relevant backgrounds for both. Since ICSA is a program that could lead me to human resource career path, and is affordable to me, I decided to take. When I first saw the schedule before I registered for ICSA, it looked good to me, 4 consecutive weekends classes, 9am to 5.30pm, subsequently an assignment to be completed within 30 days, PLUS attending second subject if the class is available; but when I started attending the classes, it turned to be a nightmare:

1. my weekends were meant to sleep a bit later, and also to settle my personal commitments (bring my dog for grooming, clean the bedroom, clean the study room, do my part time jobs, bring family for dinner etc), but I totally couldn't do it any more during the 4 consecutive weekends. I was really tired.

2. During assignment weeks, I thought I would have more time to rest, but who knows the assignment is not that easy as I thought because it needs us to do research, self-study (lectures just read the notes during classes). I thought I could do it once I reach home after work, but it's very tiring, after coming back from work, all I want is to take a short time to rest, eat a proper dinner, watch TV news, read the newspapers etc - but I couldn't do it any longer.

3. my current course is a fast-tract program - each subject that's supposed to be done in 6 months, I'm finishing it in 1 month, not to say lectures are just reading the notes page by page during the class (somehow I think I might as well study from home).

Perhaps I'm a slow learner, therefore I find it hard to pick up new skill (my degree has nothing to do with any well known/common majoring in the market ); what I'm experiencing right now might be different from you all.

for me, it is very low.. at the age of 30 should be at least earning 5 digits, cause it is the moment to build a family.

I wouldn't really like anyone taking master, cause when you do the calculation, it actually takes many years of working (after graduated) to breakeven your time, money thrown into. For the study fees you can actually venture into small business. But if you're not that risky type or simple life person then "master" is the way to go..
