  1. ^Geez, is the pay really that bad for SG peeps?

    I've been told that when comparing SG and Australia, the salaries are lower in SG for the same position.

    But I guess it's not fair to compare that.

    Nah, I'm just unlucky for that cinema stint. I've had other jobs that pay better - a five month stint at a telecoms company that paid double that per hour, just screening other people's data entry for mistakes.

    However, that conscription allowance rate is a fixed one. Basically I'm gonna get about that amount for two years of my life. Every guy in Singapore goes through that bullshit.

  2. I used to work at a local cinema, getting paid SG$3.60 an hour, or roughly US$2.50 an hour. Basically, I had to sell tickets, sell snacks sometimes, or even clean up after the crowds leave the theater. Shitty job for that kinda pay.

    Now, I'm going through compulsory conscription. Due to my scoliosis, I am allowed to work in the office instead of toiling in the jungles. Basically, I handle feedback from the public regarding the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces. Sometimes, it's interesting, but most of the time I just play games on miniclips and surf online forums. The pay stinks though, SG$350 a month, and they call it an allowance.
