bravo , bro........  

How are you going to do your work without an internet connection? and check back the amount I suggested for room. Thats a pretty normal rate for a room in KL.

lets ASSUME if you can save up 200 from there, RM 1800 expenses still > RM 1500 salary.

I'm 23 (turning 24 at the end of the year), earning about RM14K a month. It's pretty much a no brainer that I'm in the oil and gas industry. And yes I do work offshore but not on an oil rig.

Somebody said earlier in this thread that ppl in the oil and gas industry 'don't have a life', well I really take offense with that statement. You make us out to be like a group of zombies working for an evil corporation.

You're forgetting that we have our rotations.. I spend 1 month offshore (working regular  10 hrs shifts) and then I get 1 month vacation time.. and the paycheck keeps coming in even during vacation. During my time off I spend time with my family, I go traveling, I hang out with friends, and live my life. Also I get the satisfaction of being able to take care of my family financially. So yeah if that's not 'a life' then I don't know what is.

So if anyone out there is considering a career in the O&G industry.. I say go for it! See what it's all about first and don't just dismiss it as one of those jobs that you think you're not cut out for.

Don't you guys think of working from 9-5 will get you rich? I guess the risk of NOT getting rich by working 9-5 job is much higher compare to start your own business with innovative idea.

Please always keep in mind, working 9-5 won't get you rich at all.

did u turn black??hehe just wanna know coz sure hot on platform rite?

just transform over there lol .....

U 're right!! I'm studied Industrial design.. But now i'm doing Feng shui 

I'm 24 years old now

I get this opportunities from one of my friend, before this i did alot of business before... is not a easy road... just do ur work well n keep trying same like what alabais said.

did u turn black??hehe just wanna know coz sure hot on platform rite?

please share how u get into oil and gas industry..  

honestly $$ isnt everything,
u can get a really bad shape job work like a dog and earn the 5 figures or the 5k++

but there is no life to it

comparing to a 2.5-3k sallary thats enjoying and makes u want wake up and cant wait to get into office

it really depends on wat kind of job lor...for sales i think basic is alway very low....haf to depend on comm...and yes, plus comm definitely can get more than 5k lar...

im in the sales line oso....n not easy...i started at 1k during my 21st year....first job lar...sales oso..but with my comm togather, im earning aound 6k a month...
now after 5 years im 26 n position sudah naik jadi senior sales....basic around 3.5k....n if that mth i work harder, still can mencecah >5k geh...earning more is all about hard work lar..

may i know which line u r in ?
