If you look at the kind of frivolous analysis he had made, it is no wonder that he is working in a SME and earning less than 3K. I do agree with you that his ego is hurting after his friend made a jibe regarding his lower salary. This forum is possibly his only outlet to vent his indignation and feeling of unjust. To rub salt to his wound, his friend is a lady (as mentioned by him). He also wrote that he graduated during the SARS outbreak, which was nearly a decade ago. We can then infer that he has been working for as many as 10 years already. Just hope that he is able to survive in our increasingly competitive society with escalating cost of living.

Proceed to say that pay should be looked at work done per hour and somehow manage to convince himself his <2.5k pay in some SME is actually not bad.
If he is drawing 25k & friend is drawing 33k monthly, I can still accept the logic because of diminishing returns of money. But seriously below 2.5k!?!?!? Sorry, no matter what "angle" you look at it, it's a pathetic sum with a dead end career in a SME.
