Careerat Salary.sg – Your Salary in Singapore |
Another generous reader shares his/her story here – thanks! “I knew engineering was a dead end, so I immersed myself into sales… companies reward mostly the ones who bring in the cash” Are we now convinced that Singapore is high cost low tech, engineering is a dead end career and all engineers should get out [...]
(9 August 2009 – See the 2009 edition of this list.) This is the 2008 edition of my annual list of the top 100 jobs in terms of pay (see last year’s edition). This list is compiled based on data from MOM Occupational Wages Survey, which is published as part of the Report on Wages [...]
In the Sunday Times cover story, it is mentioned that a credit card promoter made $20,000 to $30,000 a month. And that was in 2003, when the economy wasn’t so good and SARS (remember?) plagued the country. And she was only a 24-year-old business graduate at that time. “I thought making money was so easy,” [...]
Read the full article at Credit Card Promoter Makes 20k to 30k a MonthSunday Times just showcased 5 very successful and “most sought-after” tutors, a couple of whom are earning a 5-figure income every single month. Physics tuition teacher Phang Yu Hon, 41, reportedly makes $20,000 from 90 students. I believe he maintains the website www.physics.com.sg.

Read the full article at Accountants with 5 years Makes 75kHow many times have you heard of the well intentioned but misguided advice: “Do what you love and the money will follow”? Had I taken the advice literally, I would have starved. Why? Well, I enjoyed (and still do) sleeping, idling, daydreaming, watching TV, snacking, and a host of other things that, erm, don’t generate [...]

Division I and II officers will receive $100.” The higher payouts for the lower ranked civil service officers, compared to the higher ranks and also [...]
Read the full article at Civil Service Bonus mid-2008Among news like a monk and an infidel GP doctor making six-figure income, there’s an interesting piece in ST two days ago – ex-top civil servant Ngiam Tong Dow worries that Singapore is becoming “high cost, low tech”. “The United States has overtaken Britain because while some of their best went to Wall Street, their [...]
Read the full article at Engineering and Technology Careers are Not Valued – Singapore is “High Cost Low Tech”I think the Straits Times over-glamorised the real estate profession in its multi-page spread on “Rodeo Realtors” yesterday.
