i thought tmnut and other other isp need alot of network engineers to increase and manage their bandwidth? tongue.gif
Somemore, I thought celcom & maxis need alot of java programmers/developers to provide their 3G services? What about nokia,motorola...?
Anyone considers research? like artificial intelligence, virtual reality and stuff like that?
Or Ethical Hacking? I heard that hacking, ethically, earns someone alot of $$?
Anyway, this is just my thought, or rather dreams, as i know that M'sia is way too far behind in these fields. Perhaps in M'sian context, application of software and maitenence is the best an I.T grad can do. I maybe wrong. biggrin.gif

Abc2005,

What is stopping you from learning anything?? As long as you have access to Internet, you can learn anything if you want to?? Most of the MIT courses and lectures are online and freely accessible .

The problem with IT is not just local. Here are my 2 cents:

1. Malaysia is caught between cheap countries like Indonesia, Thailand, China, India, Pakistan etc and innovative (but expensive) countries like US, Sweden, Australia. We are in no man's land. If companies want cheap, they hire foreigners from other developing countries. I was in a major ERP project (if you don't know what ERP is and you graduated in IT, you better go shoot yourself) for one of the biggest M'sian company, and almost half of the people on the project are from Thailand and Indonesia. On the other hand, if companies want innovative solutions to complex problems, they hire the Mat Sallehs and we had a Dutchman for our project director and an Indian from UK as the project manager.

Epep,

You are looking at the glass as half empty. Actually, I am looking at it as half full.

Cheap countries like India, Thailand, China, Indonesia and so on.. The countries has limited usage of IT in their own countries. The exposure to IT application is only limited to big urban areas. So, they may have programing skill but they do not have exposure to usage of IT business. For example, online banking, bill payment and so on.

Expensive countries like USA, UK and so on have exposure to advanced IT application but the labor cost is too high and they have no idea what can work in a less developed countries.

So, Malaysians with multi-lingual capabilities and a good balance of exposure of programing and application exposure works very well.

The problem we have is our good people can find better opportunities outside of Malaysia aka brain drain. And, we do not have meritocracy in at least half of the companies in Malaysia.
