There are taxi drivers that make 7k or even more a month.
There are cleaners who make 11k a month
There are hawkers who make 115k or more a month (he sells puff)


The list goes on and on.....

Lets not include sales/marketing roles in engineer can? If you can sell, even $0.20 country flag eraser will make you a millionaire (and you dun even have to be a chemist to discover the rubber compound)
