I believe the TS is looking for basic pay RM5000 job .. I don't think sales and internet marketing will offer such high basic pay ... allowance is not considered as basic salary (unstable) ... else i believe MLM will be higher.

@zeist,
Those in Advertising also earning so much? hMmm.. wanna tell me what they do and where they work? I think I'm in the wrong job...

rm 4,000 ~ rm 5,000?

depends on what you willing to do.

wash plug head

Yea, because I'm in Art & Design course, so my lecturers are working with some advertising companies. They do 3D commercial advertising, or 3D character rendering, alot of work and effort, and the pay is pretty high. Some even more than RM5K.

It's all about skills. I don't really like 3D stuff. Got do alittle but not much, more towards other concept.

Those doing printing such as Brochures, Leaflets, Magazines won't earn much, because they are just printing, if you do real 3D stuff, earn alot ler. That is what my lecturers told me.

Like Graphic Designers they get basic like RM1.2K, if you can do 3D, Basic can get RM2K or even more for a freshman, but depending on portfolios, can do 3D is one thing, how good can you do is another thing.

Gut my lecturers are working as freelancer, he work as a group with others, each project successful, they get around RM10K - RM20K, and then split among the group. Imagine how much they earned, so jealous.

You are currently working as?

lawyers with 3years experience

If you have a good voice, then go for talented show like malaysian idol.
Who know you might get popular while earning big money

I thought lawyers would make more than that... but maybe that's when they're older/more experienced.

Also don't lawyers make money on a case by case basis? What's their base pay like?

zeist,
I'm a Strategic Communiations Consultant. True there are people who earn lots of money but it also boils down to how good u are. At the end of the day, I think it' simportant for people to be realistic about how much they are able to learn upon graduation.

RM4-5k is a lot of $, honestly!

Communiations??? Communication izzit?

What a Strategic Communications Consultant perform? The job title itself sounds glamour.

Strategic sounds like managerial post. Consultant seems professional.

SAP also not bad, taking a few examples of my colleagues and friends...

Myself in SAP less than 2 years, no previous SAP experience or certification. Started in an end-user environment with around 2.1k, and my new company offers me 3.3k.

Most of my colleagues/friends graduated with SAP cert and is earning 2k++ easily with about a year or more experience. Some is even approaching 3k.

Of course if you're to take the cert, you will be shelling out 20k but I think it's somehow worth it. Just get a good degree to go along with it.

In general SAP has one of the highest average pay considering the amount of effort/time/education to get there. It might not be the best paid, but it is the effort or time to achieve good $$$ that really attracts people to take SAP. Sure, when you are earning huge pay it will not be easy, but which job is?

If I can earn 4k-5k before 30, why not?

bank credit card sales/corporate & personal loan(legal), i heard some top sales can hit 10k per month.

Ya, easier say than done. Look at those credit card promoters in shopping mall. How many of them are successful, and is your skin thick enough to reject so many rejections daily if you were to become one?

One important thing to know when you're trying to go up the ladder and making more money in the process, don't forget the importance of having a supportive boss. If you work for an assh*le who steals your ideas and takes all your credit, run away and work somewhere else.

i got something to add.....
sell pirated dvd and game is that can consider as job ? I mean the boss lah and not the runner.
I saw the boss drive lexus and merc leh.

Work in UK

After convert, should have at least RM4000
Salarty of $600 x 6.9 = RM 4140

@eurekas,
It's illegal so i wouldn't consider it proper to speak about here, nor to advise anyone to even do it.

@Irresistible,
I think we're discussing salaries here in MY, not working abroad and making that conversion rate.

@deadalus,
You caught me there. It was a spelling mistake and ur right, it's just a glamourous title that's all - i basically do everything around here, other than washing the toilet *phew*

If your qualifications are just until SPM then I guess maybe a career in sales might be the way to earn RM4-5k or more. There are several areas of sales you can be involved in other than those "Dark methods". Areas such as direct selling (a couple of articles has emerged in the Star newspapers a while back), insurance selling (working for an agency or be the lone ranger type) or maybe sell unit trusts as well.

If you are willing to put in hardwork and be patient, it is possible to earn 4 - 5 k by 24 years old. Currently I'm earning in that range. Started off with as a junior programmer in the first year with 1.5k.

easy, bukak gerai jual makan. i seen a stall food seller in Ming tien bandar sunway drives a toyota celica O.o".

maybe in oil and gas industry....coz i work with oil drilling company.
with spm....maybe as operator only but you still have a chance to climb up further.
diploma....some company may start at almost rm4k.
degree holder....unlimited i have friend who only has 3 years experience and his current salary....rm 1.3k per day and he is still looking for better deal.
the best time for you to join this industry is after you graduate from colloge or uni.
working schedule....depend on company some company has fixed schedule
eg. 1month offshore and 1 month off.....good time off deal
some company, no fixed schedule ......and normally comes with good pay good
so if you have diploma or degree in petroleum, chemical,mechnical or electrical, you will have a better chance.....with some good english.
most of the engineer(young one and below 30 yrs old) earn more than rm 10k.
anybody intrested pm me for further details.
