The age range of 15-24 is seriously ridiculous.

You mean 15 years old are already working? Is that even legal?

Most varsity fresh grads looking for job would be around 22-24 years of age. I would recommend that if they want to benchmark themselves to market, they should choose the 25 onwards category because that would give a more realistic result than comparing with underaged kids in the 15-24 category who would pull down the median for that group.

Think about it. Most 15-18 years old who are out working would not have higher education (study up till primary 6 or at the most O levels) and thus would not be able to command high salaries. I would estimate their salary to be about SGD 1k/mth. Being at p90 or more in that category is really nothing to shout about.

Just my two cents worth.
