Best-Paying Jobs in Singapore (2008)

Hey christine, don't get offended. I'm just enlightening you and there are such jobs with these pays. Good day guys.

Hey Christine, i agree with Qstero. There are many many normal decent jobs that pay such salary. And many of them are in only their 30s. and many of these jobs are not even bank related. For eg, my cousin (32 yrs old) who is doing sales (won't specify wat) is earning more than 20k per month every month for the past 2 years. He just bought a brand new BMW 6 series.

No need to enlighten us with anything. Because opinions are cheap and freely given out, unless validated. Substantiate with facts, please.

For e.g. I also know a person (won't specify who) who is working (won't specify where) earning a lot (won't specify how much), and he just bought something (won't specify what).

Good day folks.

To high flyer, this is in a way a sort of forum. Of coz i am not going to list names of people or companies or salaries of specific positions. I am just telling you what i know. So you can choose to believe what i say in this forum or believe i am talking rubbish. How do you want me to validate? Scan someone payslip and post it here? or say something like " I know a person who is working in citibank who is a manager who is earning 20k and he bought a BMW 7 series" I have specified everything. Is this validation? Or is this just something that i know?

ladies and gentlemen,
do you guys know whether it is better to work as a chemical engineer or on finance careers?
I am currently studying in chemical engineering now in polytechnic, but I hope to know more then maybe I can get to change to finance side in University.
Regards.

dorothea, you claimed that you studied medicine to help people. But the thoughts that you penned do not suggest so. I think some of us are pretty sick of trying too hard to defend professions like doctors and engineers. Salary wise, you may not match some of your friends working in banks etc. But at least for myself, I respect doctors more than bankers. I don't really hold people who work only for the money in high regards. Not trying to say that money is not important. But I sincerely think that if you are really good, you ll excel in any profession. But I think it is not right to jump the sequence and think about which profession will give you the most money instead of first thinking what you are good at and how can you contribute to the society. I like to use the example of driving on the road. I drive a picanto. And on the road, I've met many luxurious cars drivers who behave very snobbishly and have no regards for the safety of others. But to me, it doesn't matter. I don't give a damn to whether you are driving an audi or merc. If I've the right of way, I ll change lane or do whatever I should be doing. Don't expect me to be a coward and submit to your ridiculous and reckless driving. Coz if you were to really bump into my back etc, be prepared to pay for the damage or face the judgement of law. My advice is: Be yourself and do what is right. Don't be swayed by others just because you hear how much Tom or Dick is earning in the banks. Btw, hope that you know that most of the major financial institutions are in deep ****. A good reflection of their wonderful management abilities.

Well Nick,in as much as you have a point there,there's the reality that salary has to commensurate with the amount of work put into getting the degree. At the end of the end the person wants to be recognised for his efforts(and talent in this case),be it through a fat pay cheque for instance.There is only so long that a passion can be sustained. It is a romantic fallacy to expect every medical student to be medicine sans frontieres material.Thankfully,the scope of her job is as such,regardless of her private intentions,under her,lives will still be saved and the ill will continue to be treated.

And we cannot undervalue that.

P/S,I must admit that the career path that Dorothea has conceived is rather vicious(although not very alarming),ie,how to get to the top of the ladder within the shortest amount of time.

As he was ambitious, I slew him(Brutus,Julius Caesar Scene II)

Let us not slew the societal good derived in our pursuit of self righteousness.

Hi cn u please tell me wht are scopes of dentist in Singapore.. I have a yr experience & dentist fmr india.. wht are scopes & hw easy to fidn a job??

hello,

I'm s/w engineer + MBA + 5+ year experience in IT dev and consulting. How much can i expect in IT consulting/sales roles?
i am planning to move to singapore and in the process of applying for jobs.

Dr Pooja,
Scopes are what medical doctors hang around their necks to look important. Unfortunately I believe dentists do not use scopes. Maybe scalers, drills, chisels, forceps, but not scopes. Hope this answers your question.
regards
