can drive porsche ald

cannot lar..fuel very expensive nowadays...

i thought becoming system architect need a lot of year of experience first?

what about a master o phd qualification but without experience??
still able to earn more than 5k??

Those with professional qualification can work at overseas (UK, US, Aus, China, Dubai) after gaining 3 - 4 years experience in MY. Spend some time at overseas earning thier currency, then come back to MY could apply for managerial level in local MNC / listed co. All these could be achieved before 28.

mozart&chopin,

acheive before 28? possible??
cos 2 yrs to complete master (research) if everythg goes smooth..
then if continue phD, another 3 yrs..
by the time i grad, i'm 27 yrs old dy..
talking bout gaining experience, another 3 o 4 yrs..
tat means, age 30+++

Hmm..experiences count..but also depends on what technology you exposed to from previous experiences..also professional IT certification like brocade,cisco,solaris,aix will persuade them to hire you...but of course depends on what the employer look for in you. A friend of mine, only 25 but earning big bucks in US & Bangalore as IT consultant in san and nas...

wallaweehhhhh.... 5K at 28????
hard to find.... but to get that salary, must graduated with good result .... get job with a lot allowance immediately...after 3 years+. can get the salary, no problem

earning 5k at 28 is common nowadays. If 10k then consider hard.

really can get in meh, i have work for about 4 year, two year plus experience with enterprise level unix system, got AIX cert, can get consulting job, i have been searching since last year still dont found consulting job for unix

wah 28 earn rm5k is normal ? my just have rm3K++ onli wor. he have 5 yrs experience in prgming.

How do you define it ?

I am 28 years old with master in chemical engineering specializing in environmental line.
because.. i would be earning 6k without bonus. 8k with bonus a month.. just below 100k a year without allowance.

This haven't include allowance free hand phone (company registered), broadband at home (claim by bill), car allowance, housing allowance...

Then there is traveling allowance and overseas allowance if to meet client.
It is a source of income because company usually pays between USD 40-80 a day for depending of country you go to. It usually brings up to a month up to 1k for a week traveling.

Anyway to get up to here... the way i did it...
From degree till master study and do part time for the related field and then work in related field.
Work hard for 3 years to improve you industrial knowledge and man management skill..

I think i am not exceptionally fast but it is a reasonable time frame to reach a higher level.

Bare in mind... higher pay equals higher responsibility and work pressure. Work load not necessary high.

Yes it is true diploma and degree holders can compete with masters holders before 4-8 years experience. But after 10 years experience, a master holder (with decent work attitude) would be way ahead. Because sometimes paper counts.

Hello guys....

IMHO, 2 fields to get RM 5K before ur age is 30:-

a) Oil and Gas
- Even u are junior engineer, u can earn about USD 3000 (convert to RM about RM 8000++) . My fren work as Talisman as drill engineer earn such amount of salary, and his age just 25 years old.

b) Business
- If u have strong back up finance and u are positive thinking, why don't all of u try to make ur own business. My friends and I make a businees related to service. Washing machine service at IPTA/IPTS.Using the coin one. After minus this and that, all of share partner can get RM 1500/month, plus my working salary, total is RM 4500 per month...

cool, i ll take ur words as motivation!

Unix consulting? Hmm...I dun think we have Unix consultant in the market..Consultant normally need to cover much more than just Unix. Demand in market now that i see is DB, Storage and ERP (incl SAP). So try to lmove into these fields.

Not really, it depends..alot of fields and companies are able to pay that amount to young professionals nowadays.
drill engineer is well paid but they are exposed to the environment which is not good in the long term (on-site exposure of chemical substances). no pain no gain! Imagine if you are working in a nuclear radiator, u will be paid higher than that for sure...=)

A lot of people below 30 are hitting the 5k mark. I am talking about basic salary here. With master degree, you should be getting more than that. In well developed countries, they very much based on qualification. Self business is always the best way to go in term of flexiblity and profitability over the years if the business gows. Risk is, it depends on market orientation. Some just barely enough to make end meets. Depends how you view it.
