Some of my friends were earning RM3.5k~8k working in MNC or EPCC status company doing tasks as defined in a fixed scope. Being in a local vendor company, I can learn a lot more, but earn much less and do many more different works. My hard works rarely got any recognition, got lah, maybe twice or thrice. I haven't messed up anything yet so far so takde history kena goreng basah. Being near to 30's, I thought a little, maybe I have made a wrong move choosing this line. It's 18th, all I got left in my acc is RM160. In my wallet it's RM190.


I am a bit sad currently, depressed maybe. But life must goes on. Net celery after minus all commitment only left abt RM650, which is just enough to survive, but for how long? I get afraid when I think of the future..


So dear Sifus, should I hang on? Until finish my degree in four more years maybe? or is my choice a plain mistake, am I a fool?


Thank you very much!!

After deduction left RM2384.45, minus (RM):
450 - House rental
327 - Bike installment
300 - Households/groceries
250 - Short semester tuition fee, because no PTPTN in short sem, 250 x 6 = 1500.
200 - CC, bought a gift for a dear sister..
150 - PTPTN for Diploma, yes I keep on paying because I'm concerned about other's chances to get their study loan in the future..
110 - Broadband
65 - TNB
30 - Prepaid
7 - Syabas

Balance RM495 liao for food, petrol, etc.. Sometimes I go outstation/OT got few extra hundred to make up, sometimes nothing.. Not bitching here because still got others who are more unlucky.. Cukurrr

I myself only consider these 2 years as real exp. Those 6 years just not worth that much.

"Learn a lot more" was in the context of dealing with more diversified products. It is more like "I feel like". The friend who earned 8k is a Diploma holder, working in an Authorized Inspection Agency (MNC) as a General Inspector. 6/7 years exp.

I do feel underappreciated because bunch of new fresh grads (degree) who knew peanuts started with about RM3.1k, some got RM2.9~RM3.5k. Lately they've caused a lot of headache for me because of their stupidity and ignorance, got me frustrated. I kerja cuci taik.

Don't even know how to read procedures. I even have to teach them on how to use the caliper. Damn childish, 1 inch also don't know how to convert to mm. Been repeating the same lesson for few months, the next week asked the same question, again.

I wanted to get more involved in engineering department, which I'm afraid is not possible in other reputable companies outside of the current one with my current qualification. Do you think it is possible?

Thanks & Regards!
