Scion Turbocharged January 28, 2011 Share January 28, 2011 Possible.. Eee no class can get 3k + for navy.. Got class can reach 4k for some job.. i mean if they go into engineering jobs, eg product design, manufacturing, electronics, civil, semiconductor, etc i think even chemical also no 3.5k at starting in engineering, you work for the passion, not the money [:(] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowFlash Clutched January 28, 2011 Share January 28, 2011 engineering grads starting pay are higher than finance sector usually... but increment for finance sector usually goes up faster and probably with fatter bonuses... but even with 2.5k to 3k pay currently, its hardly enough even without much liabilities...

TandemAssassin 1st Gear January 28, 2011 Share January 28, 2011 Why is 3.5k optimistic? It is quite low for fresh grad leh. Among my close friends from JC, I think even the lowest paid of them (barring me) got around $3.5k for their fresh grad pay. Highest is 5k. Some whom I am not so close to got even more, I heard. And none of them are in banks. Having said that. I am drawing much less than 3.5k. Sucks. :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_kkh 1st Gear January 28, 2011 Share January 28, 2011 Aiya, that is the purpose of why building consultants exist mah, so that architects don't need to know everything. Of cos, it they do know everything, then they huat liao. Chicken rice sellers also don't know how to properly raise chickens in a farm or plant/grow/harvest rice. well if u think so, thats my own view though, as i communicate with architect quite a lot, some times their questions and intellect really.....
