Some years (1997, 2000, 2008) it's not fun and negative income :(
Some years (you tell me) lots of fun and earn more than day job :)
CW blog about his old colleague 20 years in market breakeven there about. If we knew earlier, whole life insurance or fixed deposit would have been better!
I guess there are those who invest for the fun of it?
1) Pop, Rock, and Movie stars (can be high stress though; hence the frequent drug and alcohol abuse)
2) Richard Branson and Warren Buffet types of investors (hire shepherds to do the work while they play. Richard in hot-air balloons while Warren bury himself in an orgy of annual reports - both having their own version of fun!)
3) Super-models! (In my next life, I'll want to come back as blond, blue eyes, have big big ding-a-ling-ding-ding, and miles of legs)
High paying is much easier to define but high fun may be really subjective as you mentioned there some artists role could be fun on the outside but shuck on the inside.
I think a sports player could be one with a definitive high fun and high pay. Again this may be a little subjective as they still need to work hard but hey I think they are paid ridiculously high for the amount of fun they are entertaining.
How come 2 qian beis know so much about toy boys and ducks?
Can it be men also have fantasies of being "taken care off" by sugar mommies until forever and ever, or until the money runs out - whichever comes first.
Hi, The chart definitely not a true fact as far as engineer pay is concern in Singapore. Also Engineer job can be really fun if they are given more time to apply creativity. Engineer is definitely not well respected here compare to the western world. Everything here is so urgent, fast and demanding. It ended up most engineer focus in more speed and less quality! RS
As always, never trust a statistics or survey you have not manipulated yourself ;)
You may want to re-read what you have written - you are definitely not trying to convince me an engineering job is fun in Singapore!?
Once upon a time, big daddy said our Singapore engineering graduates are "costing" more than their UK counterparts...
Now law students are told to keep their expectations down...
In the US, I read doctors there are depressed because the medical profession is not held in high-esteem like in the past (guess malpractice suits are not helping). Furthermore, their income has lagged due to high admin and insurance costs due to onerous regulations...
Like in investing, all professions have their peaks and valleys and cycles too ;)
Hi SMOL, Would have thought it is a western chart. Singapore engineer only have good starting pay and after that it is very stagnant and most of the time lower life-form in the company - I refer this to private sector, since this is where I am in and more familiar. But if you are "Ang Moh" Engineer in Singapore, you get higher remuneration and more respect....(from what I know, may not apply widespread). Probably Singaporean is stronger in service/management oriented jobs which hardwork and multi-tasking is required more.
Anyway on a different note but little bit cheesy....just curious:
What is the "Pay and Fun" level of a Pornstar?
Was in ICT last week and heard Japanese porn industry is extremely short on male actors. The ratio is 10,000 women : 70 men.
Stock investor leh?

Hi SMOL
ReplyDeleteWhat role do you think is an outlier like the parking attendant but on the upper right hand side instead? i.e High fun and high paying.
B,
DeleteSpontaneously, I can think of a few:
1) Pop, Rock, and Movie stars (can be high stress though; hence the frequent drug and alcohol abuse)
2) Richard Branson and Warren Buffet types of investors (hire shepherds to do the work while they play. Richard in hot-air balloons while Warren bury himself in an orgy of annual reports - both having their own version of fun!)
3) Super-models! (In my next life, I'll want to come back as blond, blue eyes, have big big ding-a-ling-ding-ding, and miles of legs)
What's yours?

PS: I am not qualified!!! LOL
Good news for SMOL!
Delete1) Rolf Suey,
DeleteThe pay I heard is miserable for male porn actors compared o the women.
Remember, in porn, the male actors are part of the props.
2) CW,
I'll do it for free if offered the job. But it's probably the only time I'll wear a brown paper bag over my head.... LOL!
3) temperament,
There are senior male porn actors in their 60s in the Japan AV industry.
Japan is quite interesting. When I was in Tokyo, the bookshops usually have a dungeon basement where they sell the "mature adult" stuffs.
I had fun there! Being anonymous tourist and all.
Only smoked; never inhale hor!
Ha! Ha! Sound like good lobang to some people except us -Lau Cheow.
