perhaps u might wanto keep ur RUDEness thru PM tinkerbel ,not openly post an offensive reply just to her. If u find her posts "retarded", perhaps the rest of us are not so retarded to acknowlegde tht...... I believe tinkerkel is making some constructive posts here but the 'lady' in her has input some kopitiam vocab in her post. has she bragged about herself being rich ? may be u r too poor to think she is rich...

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.
