i think it is the malaysian average to earn 5 to 6 k at age 30 yrs.
my case, i haf to go out of my comfort zone.
it was tough all the way, only coming from chinese new village, armed with unrecognized TARC qualification, subject of discrimination and outsmarting the physically superior westerners.
having look back, i was just like an average malaysian if i stay on the comfort path.

i wish to inspire all job seekers not to limit yourself with the price tag given on this forum, if you want that 5 figure, go all out while your youth and health still at prime age.
do not aim for the average bcos it is the median and the most competitive segment, aim for the outstanding cos that is where a lot of ppl do not dare to try it...its not as scary as you imagine.
