With times changing so quickly and technology advancing to great heights, choosing a career path can be quite a nerve-wracking ordeal. Getting into university and deciding on a course is one thing, but to think about what you want to do for possibly the rest of your life—that’s something else entirely.
Although your mind may wander through all the different aspects to consider about a particular job, the one thing you’ll definitely want to prioritise is the salary. With so many new jobs being created today, it’s not as easy to pinpoint just one perfect job that will bring the highest income.
However, fret not! The folks at iMoney.my have compiled a list based on the 2017 Salary Report released by Jobstreet, which outlines the roles and industries that pay the highest according to their job level. This can perhaps give you a rough idea about the career path you may have in mind.
