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*):

  1. Specialised surgeon – $12,750

  3. General manager – $11,200
  4. Commodities futures broker – $9,500
  5. Company director – $9,000
  6. Hydrographic surveyor – $8,960
  7. Financial futures dealer and broker – $8,348
  8. Treasury manager – $7,600
  9. Risk management manager – $7,500
  10. Legal service manager – $7,304
  11. Securities dealer and broker – $7,000
  12. Legal officer – $6,637
  13. Finance operations manager – $6,350
  14. Engineering manager – $6,261
  15. Research and development manager – $6,187

  1. 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.

  2. This list has missed out jobs like Pilots,Teachers and so many other high paying jobs…. this is misleading for foreigners.
