You guys have to define first what is "have future". After working 20 years as a secretary , i get 4k , is that "have future"?
For me "have future" means
1.) Having career advancement. 2.) High pay(and i don't mean 5k/month) 3.) In a growing industry. Growing doesn't mean just hiring more people , but an increase in average market salary. 4.) Career that have balanced work life.
For programmer , I would say that they have an "average" future which means it's neither too bright or too dull.

QUOTE(chaoshero @ Jun 1 2007, 09:08 AM) In IT line such as programmer, the future is in your hand.....it's not like other industry with increment RM150-200.....I have seen people starting pay of RM2800 in INTEL (penang) but since he is good his pay jump to RM4000 in his second piece of job just after 1.5 years in INTEL in PJ at the age of 25. Now already goes beyond that...... You're talking about 1 person or the whole industry? Even in MLM there ae people earnign 20-30k /month but does that mean it's a good career just based on one person's salary? The correct way of evaluating an industry is the average pay@number of years working experience vs other industries, not taking one or two person's account and consider it as the market rate.
