Can the threadstarter define 'beginner' e.g. school leaver at Form 3, Form 5, Form 6, Certificate, Diploma, Bachelor, Master, PhD?

By the way, designations such as lawyers and chartered accountants are not for 'beginners' per se as they have additional requirements prior to being admitted as a member of the respective professions.

My advice to fresh grads: Don't make a big fuss about which job pays you the most. To put it bluntly, I'll call this short sightedness. Think about the medium to longer term la e.g. where do you aspire to be in 5 years time that sort of thing. As if you are going to have the best paying entry-level job and stick with it the rest of your life.

Look at it this way, all professionals ranging from accountants to doctors to lawyers...start off with peanuts. It is your attitude and aspirations which determines whether you deserve top dollars a few years down the road, when you have done some actual work to be evaluated. Otherwise, it is mere wishful thinking at this very moment.
