I always thought we have more than enough engineers in Malaysia... that's why we as engineers are always not very well taken care of compare to other fields i.e. medical, accountancy and law just to name a few.
The most obvious is the comparison of salary and increment.
Doctors and lawyers and even accountants have higher basic salaries and yearly increment compare to these poor engineers....
Engineers work their ass off everyday, solving issues and create new resolutions... they work as hard as others.... but salary justice is just not there ...
Engineering jobs depends greatly on global economy ups and downs... whenever there is economy downtown, engineers are among the 1st few to be fired.. if not, a paycheck cut immediately...
Have you ever heard before that doctors or lawyers are fired becoz of economy downturn??!! Hardly any, rite?
Doctors, lawyers and accountants after gaining experiences and their own 'branding', they can go out there and set up their own clinics and firms i.e. 'XiaoBai Clinic' or 'ShinChan & XiaoBai Lawyer Firm' and mind their own businesses, be their own boss.
Engineers??!! Sorry... that's nearly impossible....
Why? a simple machine can cost you a million.. and if I have a million, what the heck I wanna be an engineer anymore??!!!
I rather enjoy my own homemade delicious lunch at home and a very much fulfilling afternoon nap afterwards....
Or taking my pet out for a nice evening walk down the street...
That's why many citizens with engineering background after realizing the truth behind hence to choose other fields than their majors, which can provide them better... and us already as engineers, mostly looking out for opportunities to change fields...
And if we have a chance to choose again, engineering is no more our choice...
