1) it's a brain dead industry that does not encourage creativity.

3) It serve as a retirement house for the laidback people, don't expect to meet future millionaires in CS.

Let's just say I am a firm believer of market forces and working hard.
CS is a jiak Liao bee industry meant for slackers.

Feel free to share the range for other majors

Sadly, for pte sector, it seems like there's a higher demand for engineers/it. In hindsight, I don't think there's much options available for humanities.

Instead of sharing useless, unverifiable claims, how about you put your money where your mouth is, by sharing some of your money with the rest of us?
Come lah. Dun be selfish ley. Share some of your money with us!

Just ignore him la. Obviously a troll. To TS. Why don't u consider civil service. Higher starting pay plus stable bonuses of 3-5 months every year. Second upper honours should get u 3.6-4.2k starting salary!! Stay for a few years then see how it goes.

Yeah, I've applied to several CS jobs but their application process is usually quite lengthy. Guess I'll just wait and see how it goes while applying for other jobs.
Thanks guys for all the input!
