Everyone is welcome to give comment and i'll love to hear from specialists in similar field to share their view, your positive advises are much appreciated, thanks guys =)

a breakdown would be nice

sawmill can operate as long as you got logs supply.

for me, sawmill is more "stable" but cannot gives high return as logging (timber extraction) side.

for example, logging supervisor can get around rm11k. when not in rain season can get up to rm18k depends on production.
for sawmill, only manager/asst manager got that figure.

*i mean supervisor for all operation matter. NOT the supervisor for 1 department only.

kUDOS to the person who started this discussion.

Well, lets see...
Why none is about being in the academic field.
For youngster out there..you might want to consider getting a Phd.. WHy?

Being a lecturer with Phd , the first pay will be easily 6k+

Then, the life of lecturer is stress free.. everyday go teach few hours then go back at 5 pm always. No politic, no nothing.

Students are only to get more, not less, so job security is assured. No Vss , no nthing..

Getting a phd cannot be that old when grad. Like me, I am 23, after graduated with Phd, i will be 27 only.

While studying for Phd, it is free, + i get paid 2K every month for studying. How good?

after phd, the salary can go up to 20k/month, sitting in office...HAHA
