yeah, i know someone who lectures 6 days a week and his income is about 20k. He does occasional workshops and seminars as well. Someone i know who is in insurance earns about 12k to 15k pm from lecturing in a private college and from seminars. *Sigh* i live in a residential area that has many full time uni lecturers around...u shud see the cars they have in their front porches. They get paid well for doing a rewarding job that they probably love. Good eh?! Of course, the ppl i speak of are good in what they do...

I have another scenario where the IPTS lecturer is about the age of retirement and apply for lecturing in IPTA, any chance ?

i think lecturer can earn lots of money. but i also heard that Tutor at taylor pay very low lor...

oh well... i think it's a brillant prospect job. coz i can see my lecturers drive wat kind of car... u can see their salary then...

probably diorang tu tak reti bersyukur kot.

but it's true, as compared to other countries, our pay is quite small. lecturers should be getting about RM10-12k. that's the standard international rate.

same answer as i've given before.

my lect drive old saga.. but got 14yrs experience... at his house i donno what type cars that he owns

This may proof him/her not a car lover, as long as the car still ok then enough already.
Lecturer in Malaysia consider good jor, compare with my foreign lecturer, he goes by foot to faculty every morning and walk back to his hostel.

Not a compulsory to lecture in Malaysia ... As long as you have experience ... You can go almost everywhere .

I think become lecturer in Malaysia consider not bad, my faculty got some lecturer who able to teach foreign student too. Not need to go oversea unless you have your own view and gaining experience.

Depends on the individuals ... HE can even open a new uni

lecturer best ma class pon sikit.budak x payah jaga.cukup bulan gaji masuk abis cerita.

if only it's that simple...

i guess so,because i see a lot of lecturers goyang kaki only.

owh... lecturers have flexibly hours for classes, and in research, working by deadline. meaning u might see them goyang kaki, but doesnt mean they're not doing anything at all.

Lecturer actually do have a lot of pressure as they're teaching the future of the country . They have to research ... Read a lot and stuffs to teach the students about the world's current economic and such . It also requires a lot of knowledge to become one .

If you are lecturer and suddenly your students ask you something(a topic relevant to your teaching) quite tough and you can't answer it, what a shame!!
Sometimes they are tension of some matters like students' problem, course syllabus, assignment....

I agree with all of your points accept the part about teaching.

the hallmark of a good lecturer is even if they don't know the correct answer, they'll give an answer that makes you think that it's the correct answer

That is the typical way of answering question of most lecturers. They don't need to explain why this and that because it's the students' responsibility to find out the answer.
