Yes, this unsettling feeling sinks in whenever I find myself marginalised in an employment survey. Rightfully, I shouldn't be affected by the latest SMU graduates employment survey since I am in the workforce for a good 3 years plus. I am not impressed with their speed of getting employed, as it was never a problem for Accountancy graduates, but honestly, we seriously l-a-g-g-e-d in terms of earning power.
According to the SMU survey for the Class of 2007:
According to the SMU survey for the Class of 2007:
- The overall starting salary went up 6.7 per cent to $3,040. [That was slightly below what I am drawing in early 2007! *gasp*]
- The top 20 per cent are getting monthly starting salaries of $5,600. [That's even more than what I am drawing now! *OMG* Somebody please tell me these are the law graduates, and not those from B. Acc!]
- The top 12 per cent - one in eight graduates or 69 of them from across all degree programmes - are doing even better, drawing starting salaries of between $4,000 and $10,000 a month.
Now I am really interested how Nanyang Business School can paint a good picture for all NBS graduates.
