So moral of the story? Don't be middle class lor.

 

Either be very poor and receive handouts or be very rich.

depends on which field. Engineering is very wide ranging. Cannot say until so bad, next time nobody wants to be engineer.

 

In my field, if you are good, you can hit 7k in 7years. Entry level manager can be >10k (rarely). This is FACT, not hearsay.

 

Alamak you people keep bad mouthing engineers, next time really all FT....

 

If you are lucky with stock options in a high tech firm, you can hit 200-300k per annum... so engineering is not all bad.

Yours is a Exception rather than the norm I'm afraid.

what is norm and wat is exception? It all depends on the person right?

 

Exception is the statistical outlier.

 

No it doesn't depend on the person. It depends on market rate. That is the norm.

I don't trust our statistical report as it is either too high or too low from actual norm.

Like for my case, my pay is higher than the stastical number by around 30%

But in actual fact, I am still in the lower side for the field of my expertise.

 

The statistical data are too general that its doesn't proof to be a good point of reference.

Engineering Director in big setup = SGD10,000 - 16,000

Engineering Manager = SGD7,000 - 10,000

Project Manager = SGD6,500 - 12,000

Production/Process/Civil/HSE/Electrical.... Engineers = SGD3,500 - 6,000 typically

I guess engineer still better than non engineering group of people. Those people like executive/officer, pay should be lower than engineer. Unless you are taking about those bankers/accountant/auditor then different.

Some people here want to truely believe

 

"The reason they are so successful

is because they are so damn smart."

 

I am not so sure its true, all I know is

 

All the money in the world and all the success

in life cannot be used to overcome their

insecurity and poor self esteem.

 

:D
