If you are a real IT professional, you should be quite well paid (of course nowhere near an investment banker for comparison sake, but say >100K after 8-10 years, conservatively speaking). The problem with IT industry is that there are a lot of people (and nearly anyone) who are called PMs, programmers and consultants, but do not nearly have the right skills, even after an IT degree. And unlike other lines, there are significantly more non-IT grads who ended up as real IT professionals. So it's a little hard to have a more precise sense of the pay range.
There is not a lot of real programming jobs (supply-side) out here in Singapore, but there are a lot of "talking" jobs here, e.g., PM, consultant, business analyst, etc, and the "talking" nature of these jobs meant that non-IT grads with the right logic and mindset can become an IT professional.
As the title suggests, "talking" jobs require strong communications. Who you are able to talk to decide how much you can get paid and you will soon realize it's not so easy to talk, even if you think you are good at talking.
The greatest "perk" of IT, at least for me, is that you can expose yourself to intimate details of very different businesses in your career. Like an actor/actress who needs to understand the details to act, a IT professional needs to understand the business problem to formulate a solution. In my 8 years experience, I have certain in-depth knowledge of finance, supply-chain, oil/gas refining, pharmaceutical drugs, aviation.

Hi IT undergra, you hope to earn 5k at age 32 with relax life and is consider as not greedy? Do you know typically, many graduate at age 32 still barely manage to reach 4k? Take the example of the link below:
http://www.salary.sg/2007/jobs-with-fastest-increasing-pay/
you should roughly be able to gauge how much you can earn (if there is not pay cut or increment freeze due to crisis) till you reach the age of 32 yrs old.
It is diffcuilt to tell how much you can earn (worth) as it also depend on your luck and capability. My friend from IT graduate can earn more than 7k of salary within 2 years after graduation. That is because he has been promoted to manager as he is very harding working and capable. A 32 yr old executive will draw a different salary scale from another 32 yr old senior management. That means u can hit more than 10k if you are good and lucky enough.
But, if you have the mentally like my subodinate (whom want go back on the dot and family life as the lst priority), you rest assure that your increment and promotion will be the least.
Hope you understand where I am coming from.

dear not-geek, given the current economic conditions, I don't think you have much choice. MOE is definitely one very viable option. I'm sure they pay "market" value. moreover, when there's no fish, you have no choice but to eat shrimps.
