The Times They Are a-Changin’

There once was a time that being a teacher, a pharmacist, an engineer is a respectable job, everyone aspires to be one. Parents will tell their kids to try to become one when they grow up regardless of if they have the capacity to.

It was a time when people have values, have dignities and have honour.

In December 2019, Coronavirus Pandemic caught the World off guard.

Comes to present day, many professionals are left unemployable. Many of whom have to be laid off due to economic depression.

I am no economist but we can do a rough estimation here (on the high side):

.

Monthly average salary of a teacher MYR 3,000

.

Monthly average salary of a pharmacist MYR 5,000

.

Monthly average salary of an optician MYR 3,500

.

Monthly average salary of a nurse MYR 2,000

In contrast to:
