It's not possible nowadays to get a salary more than 5k now adays in malaysia.
Dont think its imposible.
Its do exist.
I'm 24, and i'm making RM6800 a month. I just new in this field, started 6 months ago
I start from RM1600 a month after i'm graduate, 12 months a go. I jump to 6 company. any better offer i grab it. update my resume every job i do. although it very tough at first, always short of money, but it worth it.
I'm in oil and gas, field engineer for local company, working on a vessel, sometimes in platform. spend at least 2 months at sea per job.
but here, mine is among the lowest salary here. let me list few of jobs with nonsense salary, but its real. some of it, u dont even need to go to university and get diploma or phd.
here it is:
Air diver - RM2500 per day
Sat diver - RM6000 per day
ROV pilot tech - USD300 - 700 perday
Surveyor - RM2000 per day.
DP Operator - USD400-600 per day
and if u work more than 5 years or u very good, here ur saary will be.
Diving superintendent - RM10700 per day.
ROV supervisor - USD700-900 perday
Barge Superintendent - USD3000-4000 perday.
and a lot more of jobs that make u work about 30mins a day, then u can rest all u want. but they still pay u on day rate basis.
Like ROV pilot, u work only 30mins a day, then u get up to USD 700 perday. No high qualification, no phD, u know english and take the course, u good to go.
The world is now going crazy, nothing is impossible.
