Highest paying jobs
July 28th, 2007
You can find in today’s Straits Times a list of the top 5% highest paying jobs. The list, which is based on a Manpower Ministry’s report, is not very different from what I posted in my last year’s top 100 jobs post.
Here’s the list (the figures are median monthly gross wages*):
- Specialised surgeon – $12,750
- Managing director – $12,000
- General manager – $11,200
- Commodities futures broker – $9,500
- Company director – $9,000
- Hydrographic surveyor – $8,960
- Financial futures dealer and broker – $8,348
- Treasury manager – $7,600
- Risk management manager – $7,500
- Legal service manager – $7,304
- Securities dealer and broker – $7,000
- Legal officer – $6,637
- Finance operations manager – $6,350
- Engineering manager – $6,261
- Research and development manager – $6,187
- Foreign exchange dealer and broker – $6,080
- Advocate and solicitor – $6,040
- Creative director (advertising) – $6,000
- Computer and information systems manager – $5,987
- Computer operations and network manager – $5,866
- Technical manager – $5,800
* The wages consist of only basic and gross monthly wages, and exclude bonuses and profit sharing.

Many are claiming their income higher than the real thing? What is the standard deviation of the mean?

Masindi, the figures were extracted from CPF. I do not have any info on s.d., but I think it can be calculated. I should do that one day.
