i think i've read the earlier posts saying in 7 years time, u should've been an a.professor already, with $4,5k salary and $1.5k allowance. Of course not including the part time jobs. So its limitless!

well at least not with Inti College, the lecturer all drive local made car only. whether they are rich or not, i don't know but certainly they are not driving expensive car

Well wanna share with u something. It was my dream to be lecturer from my O 'levels and still I am working through m being 26 years old. It is very important to have all through very good results if you wanna be a successful academician even from your undergrad level.  Good thing is that due to my early planning, I managed to study all through with full scholarship and most of all thanks to almighty. So far I have published few papers in IEEE and getting good responses from the reviewers. These inspirations are letting me to get going. Therefore good publications is very very important for leading a successful teaching life. I have completed my BEng with 1st class hons (Malaysia), Postgrad cert with excellent ranking (Germany), MSc with Distinction 1st (UK, completing in Sept). Already I have received few PhD fellowship offers with good salary starting from Jan. Well, after that I am planning to take post doctoral study before coming to teaching profession.

Its a very noble profession. Therefore, prepare yourself well before teaching others and facing the challenge of next decade; not opting for monetary prospect only. I am sure if you do that at least you will be remembered someday among your students saying that "you were a great lecturer".

That's the thing isn't it? I'm looking at overseas. No offense, but I have little faith in the ability of Malaysian universities to provide adequate supervision and support.
