To those that are earning Salary More than RM 5K (Working in Msia) & Age below 28.
(I presumably u graduate at age of 22/23, after 5 yrs of experience, RM 5 K seems reasonable, though I think age of 25-26 earning >RM5K is also possible)

I Need ur advice !! What is ur occupation currently? Position ? What the "Factors" that make you earn more than others?
Eg.
1) qualifications?
2) line of work
3) how u got the position and tips!

I grad at age 24, work for 2.5 years. now 26.5 year old turning 27.
Salary RM3600- Elec. Engineer, 9am-6pm
Rental income RM1200
Internet business income unstable, but generally RM600+
Acutally i dun think i am earning that much because my monthly salary+earning will go to roll money again, ie trading, buying stock and selling on ebay, rental income will pay off my house installment. so i am living a harsh life too.

hardworking is important but most important is must use money to earn money, dun use ur time.

Wow brother, what type of house/condo you buy can rent out RM1200???? You are rich by age 27.
I guess your monthly rental should be RM1.3k and loan for 30 years right?
I same age with you, but only buy a RM110k apartment, current rental RM600/per month. Good rent?

@ohserena,
Er... U quoted me in ur earlier post except I don't recall ever writing that post ? *shrugs*  Anyhow, are u trying to ask me something? *scratch head*

yup.. im a fresh graduate... now work in O&G industry as civil engineer.. my basic salary + allowance is about rm9.5k.. now the construction industry in middle east is very good.. but hv to sacrifice to earn high salary.. can only go back once or twice one year..

Kind of the same. My condo in penang cost RM200K fully furnished near to bayan lepas. I am paying maintenance RM100 per month and every quarter there is quit rent, cukai bla bla, etc.

I am not rich...just working up on passive income (rental, internet business, etc) because active income not high, but family financial burden is heavy.

I'm surprise so many youngsters which is below age 30 nowadays have trouble earning 5k a month by working under a company... the real headache is when you want to earn more than 10k from work before getting to 30. Here's are some real life example who are earning 5k++ a month,

1) A friend of mine, working in a software development company which belongs to a MNC audit firm, pos is software testing asst manager at the age of 28.

2) Another friend, start his own hosting company business and have a good foundation in MLM business at the age of 28.

3) My ex company MD and CEO, both at the age of 30 this year. Started the company 5 years ago in discounted call services and ventured into IT 2 years back. Driving C-class and wearing rolex 2 years back.

4) A lady friend of mine, working as procurement engineer in one MNC oil & gas firm, earning 10k per month, ngam ngam 30 this year (and bloody damn hot, too )

5) Me, the worst of all the example, 5k++ a month now, 26 this year as a sales in IT system integrator industry.

So the summary of the above examples, not necessary to start your own business or venture into MLM if you just want 5k a month. My sales manager who just surpassed 30 already 10k++ (basic pay only ) a month now. Everywhere is money, just the matter of whether you know how to pick up those money or not.

And academic qualification has nothing to do with your earning capability as those papers only tell others how good are you in study. No offense to those high academic qualification holders, but holding a degree or master or PhD doesnt show you will earn better than those who possess lower qualification than you. Of course, having high qualification is still good, but not compulsory. I have seen enough of high academic qualifier having trouble feeding they ownself.

There is no magic in earning money, most importantly is that you must have dedication and passion in everything you do. Make your dream (I have friends who dont even dare to dream, poor fella), set goals, plan for it, have confidence and go DO it. You will get what you want, sooner or later Cheers.

Actually it's true, you don't have to be in Oil and Gas or a specific industry to earn big money and having a Masters or Ph.D doesn't always mean you have the edge (although somehow you do)

As for myself, I'm still working towards that 5 figure and I certainly hope I'll get it before 30.

a pilot earn 10k-15k for international flight? i think sud be more, in order to compensate them...can u imagine u have to flight international so frequent? its a nitemare..and i think to the pilot too...imagine u sit on the plan for 15 hours few times a week...wow.... i bet the flight company got to compensate them more..

In long haul flights, there are 2 sets of pilots, one set will do the take off / landing, and the other will be just "jaga" the flight...so if the flight is for 12 hours, you'll probably need to do just 6 hours.

Yar, thy earn about 10k-15K...of cours captain earn more ler...
