The corporate ladder isn't that easy to climb but this shouldn't discourage you from working hard or aiming for promotions. As you move up, you'll get better $$$ eventually.

Personal preference but for me, I wouldn't want to stay in the middle of the sea just to get 2K extra

Anyone here earns 10K at 28? Maybe he/she can share the experience.

Some people do claim they earn more than 10K at the age of 28 in Malaysia so I'm curious to know the success story Of course it is also undeniable that certain people are making it up.

I think 10K @ 28 would be a pretty good achievement (not the best tho')

No worries mate I think it is something which is very good and informative especially for those that really manage to get there and share their experiences. How old are you?

Looks like we have a millionaire in LY.net

MLM and direct selling are all crap. Most of my friends did not listen to my advice and end up regretting later.

Don't feel offended just because you're part of the MLM community The way you reply doesn't show you're any better than the rest. I couldn't care less and we'll see who is the blind fool at the end of the day. Nevertheless, I wish you all the best in your MLM job.

There are always uneducated people around, especially in LY.net

Most people find it hard to come back when they settle down overseas especially in developed countries. I think it makes a lot of sense why they do so

Thanks asc2. There are always people in this world (particularly Malaysians) who often believe in such schemes. For that reason also, it is why most Malaysians get cheated into those ridiculous "get rich quick" schemes.

For the gentleman that replied like a hero and convinced that MLM would make him rich, I offer my support to him and hopefully he can convince me in return that MLM indeed works. Hence, prove it and come back with results - action speaks louder than words

Everything and anything can make money. Even a toilet contractor with plenty of toilet contracts can make money. The problem is, how many percent of people in within the MLM really "make" that money?

I'm speaking from experience and out of the huge number of friends I have which ventured into MLM, direct sales, etc - no one made it through. Two things to this - either all my friends are crap or the idea of these 2 businesses are plain crap

If one is interested in sales, they can always try doing a real sales job. I know people within the IT industry (sales) which makes a lot better than what I am earning. I know people selling financial savings plan, insuarance, etc that drives a BMW at the age of 25. All these are possible if you're on the right track and at least, it's a secured and guaranteed job.

Nevertheless, I do agree that some small percentage of people within MLM makes money. Shall I say less than 1% out of the thousands? Nevertheless, it's up to that individual to decide whether is it worth to spend time on something with such success rate.

Just my thoughts

Sure so please believe in yourself and all the best

The paper qualification is just something to make you get the job easier. It doesn't mean that a diploma holder would perform least better compared to a degree holder. It's unfortunate that people emphasize a lot more on paper education these days compared to the capability of that person.

b00n, whether a person perform or not, it is very subjective and even if he/she has a paper qualification, it does not prove or define capability. There's a lot more than that.

If I'm the interviewer, I would look at experience and character/attitude of that person rather than emphazing on the results and that piece of paper. Nevertheless, paper qualification is a pre-requisite these days - no choice but a lot of times, it's a company HR policy to hire someone with at least a degree.

In conclusion, what I'm trying to say is that you need the paper + relevant experience + a positive attitude. Alternatively if you don't have a paper but with good experience and attitude, you can still make it but perhaps a bit harder.

The corporate working world is like that and we just have to adapt to it. Besides, the world is never fair

I used to be like you and don't enjoy studying. I'm probably at my worst of boredom whenever it comes to classes and books but I know that getting a degree is a must. I struggled just as much and finally made it through the degree.

Since you're left with one paper, you might as well fight hard for it and make sure you pass. I'm sure you'll be able to do it as long as you try your best and never give up. Like the quote says "Winners never quit; Quitters never win" All the best bro.

Credit card is one of the killers and reason why youngsters always overspend

Well, 5K before 28 is very much possible if you're in an MNC. I'm just keen to know those that do 10K at 28

Anyone cares to share some success stories?

Many of us tend to share "my friend is already 25 and earning 50k, etc" but look, let's not care about how much our friends earn because it might not be genuine after all.

It makes more sense to share our own experiences

gtghost, such sms services can indeed make money. I thought of that before but it also involves some agreement with the service provider I believe.

Nevertheless, good for you and all the best
