What is stopping you from changing to the new job?

Change la.. Dun doubt dy ..since salary , location wise....

if you can find a better job, why not?

Find other job la. Video game does not give positive impression to some.

Tell parents this is straddle the cow to find the horse.

Yes I agree with parents. This sales assistant no future. What is important if you got more money. Maybe one day you with get enough experience to open your own shop.

what is the reason u dun want to take the new job ? 

Your information is so vague..

'some random shop'?

hour is long?

Random video game store?

I used to be in your situation. My advice is learn as many technical skills u can, you can monetize it someday. Jaga Cyber cafe no prospect at all.

TS,

Do not be penny wise pound foolish.

1) How long have you work at current job??

2) Have you learn all you could at current job??

Just pick the job, it is way better both salary and location wise. Get your parent these points. They'll understand.

i think is best you ask yourself does the job give you a future?
secondly, do you have a future with the correct mindset?

if you only thinking of having a good salary rather than thinking how to gain more salary then you should jumpship...
by end of the day your pricetag will be stagnant...
the better options is to plan what you trying to become...
Maybe one day a shop owner?
if so, what sacrifices do you willing to make?
save up RM1K per month?

Think about it bro...

hi kasoke,

You need to save hard and work hard.
Alot scarify you need to do and you must aware the surrounding happening. 
With the current salary you not going anywher but fall under low income ppl.
When the gov giving BR1M or implementation minimum wage rm900, do you go to applie/take?

you need to jump ship or equip urself with something. Keep finding and jumping.

exactly... maybe can pause the insurance thing loh...
try to make up your saving and get a better paid job...
good luck bro~!

Let me share my past experience with you. I used to be a technician just like you, format and install computer, but I do find some customers outside and help them format and install windows, sell them some hardware, i help them register streamyx P1, u can monetize from the knowledge and skill u have. I jaga cc before also, everyday deal with people like ' abang tambah 50cents 15minutes'
One more thing, i know my current boss by selling her printer, i changed my job in the end : )

what situation ? 

let me tell u one thing. i shifted out since after spm. I started working in shopping malls too. Hopping from one shop to another for higher salary. In the end I just apply for Genting because accomodation and meals free. Now I'm back in KL and I'm ready to continue my studies part-time while working full-time office hour.

Understand yourself what do you want in 5 years time. Do you want to be a employer or employee and in what line? How old are you?

Your company got give you leave every year and internet access.
Utilize the leave for interview and search jobstreet for vacancy.
Submit any job vacancy. Go for the interview, put your salary higher than current and put the reason looking for better opportunities.

then you should start to think what shop you wanna open and how you are going to get loan approval.
go for a job that will provide you good pay with reliable payslip amount cashed into your bank account.
most of the jobs in shop do not provide payslip.

u 20 and u working in aircon room and u got a problem   

when i was 15, i need to work illegally due to underage in a wooden factory and cycle a distance from my home
just to put food on the table and pay for rent .... 
my wish everyday was not get into accident like my other worker,  some of their finger got cut off while working by the machine

under the hot sun we carry timber into machinery to made into door and cut them with machine, no proctective gear
by the time i was 20+ i was so happily and buy a 1 way ticket to SG and so willing to take any toilet cleaning job 

seriously u have a better life, ultilise it better 

TS,

Working hard at earning PEANUTS is not going to get you any where.  Beyond of whether you should get a new job, you should THINK about acquiring Higher Value Skill and capability that will earn you a lot more.  Do you want to be at the same earning level in 5 years?

Stupid question..Plz use the brain.

Actually you don't need to ask for other opinion. Just decide by yourself.

Yup seems like something TS already have the decision before even opening the thread.

If you don't like the current situation (work), then no harm trying looking around and see what is available. You might find a new enviroment which you like.

If you dont have complaints, travel is near, flexi hours, salary and bonus is what you can accept. No stress.
