Chemical Engineering as Process Engineer in MNC

This guy getting chemical engineering (2nd upper), and now work as process engineer in a MNC.

chem eng. (2nd upper hons) 2005 grad.

2006- $2500+ot = $3000 +/-
2007- $2800+ot = $3400 +/-
2008- $3100+ot = $3900 +/-

process eng. firm (mnc)

No offense ok? I am rather sad to see that compared to the previous post of Diploma in IT, whom also graduate on 2005, the previous case is also drawing $4k now.

I think this got several reasons:

1. IT is hotter now, i.e. in demand in Singapore.


2. You didn't jump boat? That is no switch company.


3. I assume you work in semiconductor firm, which is not so hot in Singapore or in the world at this moment. In a few years back, semicon is HOT. But look at the Charterd Semiconductor share price, then you know what I mean.

Share price of CSM since 2004, no growing. Imagine you the one who get CSM during $20 (yes $20) on 2000. Now <$1.

But this apply to many degree holders that working in the engineering field. In fact, your pay is considered GOOD already. You can refer to my previous post in engineering like this one.
