How much do you think civil engineers are paid?

And how much do you think they're paid?

I'm a civil engineer. I'm curious what people outside the industry thinks.

No.

Everybody's an engineer. The difference is whether you're qualified to be a Professional Engineer (Ir), which qualifies you to endorse drawings for construction. There is a high bar to overcome to attain the title, but that would be a topic for another day.

The so-called 'Civil Engineering Association' would be Institute of Engineer Malaysia (IEM), which is not compulsory and most people don't bother to join. Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) is a regulatory board. You would need to be registered to be an engineer, but it is purely administrative. Other than requiring a recognised degree, BEM cannot prevent you from being registered as a 'graduate engineer'.

That being said, for RM2,500-RM2,800/month salary and yet being responsible for the safety of a structure for its entire working duration (up to 50 years), kinda low of a compensation, don't you think?

And just not long ago it's been reported the country severely lacks engineers. I wonder why.

Rm4k plus at general hospital. Considering the super duper heavy workload, working on weekends and public holidays, multiple oncalls in a week and getting scolded by superior frequently. Not worth the salary we are getting paid. Go for business route will get rich faster if money is the main aim

Studying medicine or becoming a doctor doesn’t limit u to just clinical practice. There are also roles in research and scientific communication, where u may be involved in training or educating other doctors. i know of a doctor who pursue that path and become very good at it. He get to go other countries to conduct training when his company a pharmaceutical producer come up with new meds.

Just Google “scientific communicator role” and ull see the type of doctors who pursue that path.
