Best-Paying Jobs in Singapore (2008)
This is the 2008 edition of my annual list of the top 100 jobs in terms of pay (see last year's edition).
This list is compiled based on data from MOM Occupational Wages Survey, which is published as part of the Report on Wages in Singapore 2007.
As with previous years, the MOM survey does not capture performance bonuses, profit sharing and stock options.
To generate the list, I looked at the third-quartile monthly gross wages of the selected jobs published. Explanation: if you're at the third-quartile, or 75th-percentile, your pay is higher than 75% of the people.
Here's the top 100 best-paying jobs:
