Faith in the human race +1

Try Indonesia -_-

I see some people here say how easy it is to earn a 60k USD a year.And talking like we all should able to achieve and follow the success like they did.Well... im not gonna told them to see the real world (since we all are wth?). But i want them to read news for the least.

This world do not only consist of your neighborhood and the country where you live...
60k USD? Try going here in Indonesia. Where people literally kick (or kill for that matter) anyone else in the face just for a mere 10 bucks.
Ooooo-Waaaaw So your country's rich and the people are well payed and easy to get a job. yeah, good for you mr. longnose

A fresh graduated payed for a 50k a year? LoL.
Here the nebies are getting their ass whipped and work like machine just to STAY employed. For there are like around 1 million more people ready to take his/her position at any chance.

Im a lecturer here in Indonesia for about 3 years. And guess what? i only make a roughly 12k USD per year. Yeah, go ahead and laugh. i dont care. You guys dont know how it feel looking for a job in here. One of the reason?
Yes. Equality. Back then my dad doesn't need to worry about a hundred thousand or million women trying to occupy men's job. (There's more women than men in Jakarta) The guy could work at a job that he's really into, thus making him a fully efficient and good worker. While the women take care of the home and their FAMILY'S RELATIONSHIP with everyone else (Yes, that's the most forgotten role from a housewife nowadays)

But now? Lol divorce is like a plague and we see women faces in like every job/bussiness avaiable.(Especially entertainment) While the men busy stomping at each other to get a decent work that doesn't involve breaking the law.All the glamour an bling bling are just for mere % of people in here. While the rest are just trying to stay alive... let alone make a "good" family.
/sigh

Win/win?

Not to mention the state of the economy...I graduated from an elite finance school a couple years ago with internships at a MIT lab and a major insurance company under my belt, and was still jobless for an entire year before finding my current job as a programmer making just over 30k a year (with great benefits, though). And that's only because I was smart enough to diversify my skillset while in college. I consider myself extremely lucky to have my current job, because the only people I know with well paying jobs now were also born into wealthy families.

really..i got a friend who hooked up with a half chinese half filipino..
(he's a good friend i met in a forum while he was in Japan)

he said that he had the worst time in japan..his wife was soo annoying that he divorced her and moved out..
then he recomended me where in the Phillipines its good to have a livig..told him Manila..

and he found a girl there(this is like 5 years ago).
they have 1 or 2 kids?a big house..and both are happy :D

still..2d>>3d..
but
3d Chinese>>3d Japanese XD

Marry me hot Nippon Women!

Average salary in the US for non-government jobs is currently $41K. Average salary for government jobs is $74K. So, in the US, be a beauracrat!

Remember, there are more OUT OF WORK engineers in American then employed ones. Most engineers are busy working as taxi drivers or waiters or something other then they studied in college--- and still have to pay the college loans.

I make Y7000000 a year (equivalent)

28, single. own 2 houses, a car and have a cute pet dog.

call me :)

Although, what age are they marrying at I wonder? I suppose it could be considered a bit mad to try and find a 20year old on 70k.

You can pull that sort of money working in the public service here, before tax of course ;)

I reckon this would be the ideal amount if you had a one income family with one child providing your wife isn't spending all your money on hand bags instead of the mortgage.

Edit: Though the situation seems a bit different in Japan :|

You are just an average guy, living in your average house and making average amount of salary.
