QUOTE(New Klang @ Sep 11 2013, 11:28 AM) Agree. The freshies now think that they need a cabinet of paper qualifications. The best is to join the site and dirty the hands. Learn more than reading 10 books. i love this statement.!

QUOTE(Stephen80 @ Sep 10 2013, 02:07 PM) You may try luck in oil & gas automation/instrumentation field like DCS, transmitters, control valve. Fresh grad may get around 3k + salary (7 years ago). Now simply can get more than 5k SG dollar with experience in some Singapore company. My background is electrical eng but currently working in vendor providing analyzer system plus instruments. Pay is wise and can get extra allowance if travel a lot. The only downside is I has to climb up and down like monkey.  . Sometimes get fxxx my customers. Guess it's in the package as vendor. I wonder is there any instrument job that don't require me to work physically. Now seriously considering switching to consultant side.

Nowadays job requires one person not only do design, but also have site knowledge, able to climb up/down. Even consultant need to go site survey and go to site during commissioning phase.

Anyone know how is the job prospect/salary range etc for Chemical Engineers in Government Sector??
I am currently in a dilemma , im an A-level student .results is AAA , and have applied for this year inake for Bachelor (Chemical Engineering) in Monash University Sunway Campus
I was offered the place and also offered a 25 % scholarhip per year . The original tuiton fee per year is rm 38000 , up to four years , and in addition i can apply PTPTN totalling about rm40k
but , there is now a PIDN scholarhip that i am egligible , the scholarships covers the full tuiton fees for the whole course + yearly allowance about rm9500 , if i choose to take this offer , then i would have to serve a 6- year bond under government after i completed my studies
But i really want to go further my master in australia and work there is possible
Now , my dad is letting me to decide whether to take the governemtn sponshorhip and server for 6 years , OR let my parents self- fund . ( they are ok with self-funding )
I dunno what to do >.<
after i serve the government for 6 years with a low salary , will i be able to jump into a higher pay when i go private sector??? cause about that time my age should be 30 and im scared after 6 years i will be still earning fresh graduate salary TT

If anyone thinking to sit for IADC/IWCF well control course to boost their career (which I dont know it happens or not), I suggest you have/read some basic drilling knowledge and principles and also the well control equipments.
Secondly, please choose the correct training provider. Some instructors will teach you how to answer the exam questions without telling the theory behind it and this will make you struggle. And if you want, I suggest you start with IADC first...
I'm not telling that you will not pass the exam but for your benefit especially for those who are self-sponsored,I hope you dont risk your usd2000 for something that you will just stressed your mind thinking to only pass the exam.
Just sharing...

What do you think bro? Sini bayar ciput....  If you are in technical line, should be no problem jumping ship and getting better pay. O&G industry is a bit immune to economic shocks as long as the oil price stays above USD60. Right now, the oil price is close to USD110, so a lot of room to manage. Petrofac ada Cendor which is a money maker, and they are also eyeing some of the Newfields asset (the ones they are selling) and they have the Berantai Project (which is JV with your company). As for takde projek, depends on how you see it lah ... new projects maybe but existing one is enough to handle already.
