Want to earn 5K before you're 28... it's simple. Become an airline cabin crew member. You'd easily top 5K once you move to widebody and intercontinental flights.

As for the merchant bankers... ya, I guess some of them earn a lot very early. But we should note how hard they get worked, how much they travel and how much stress they undergo.

You can earn lots too as a trader (forex, shares, commodities etc). But you can't sleep (one mkt closes, another opens) and forever stressed by the fact that you can (and do) lose a lot of money real quick too.

So, if you are very young, have no exceptional experience or prodigal skills, trust me. Any employer paying you well over the average will extract their pound of flesh from you.

Oh, ya if anyone wants to earn S$370,000 per year when they are 32 years old, join the Singapore civil service. 370K is the starting salary for superscale and the average entry age into superscale is 32 years old. But the job interview starts when you're 4 or 5 years old when your parents try to get you into one of the elite primary schools in Singapore. And the interview doesn't stop until you go through a top Junior College (secondary school), then Ivy League or OxBridge with top honours (not those rubbish "high" CGPA stuff but top few in your graduating class etc) on a govt scholarship and 8 years of govt bond. You have to keep beating your peers every year, every exam, every appraisal to stay in the game... how's that for stress?

Wah, work 2 years only already got 5k+. Probably that's your peak salary already as an hands-on engineer.

LYN crowd represent less than 1% of Malaysia's population. How can you use this to benchmark the living index of Malaysia?

I think what most people fail to understand is that no matter how much you earn, chances are you probably end up having the lifestyle which drain you of all your hard earn money. When we were still schooling, we probably end up with less than RM300 per month and yet we make it through. Humans are greedy.
