Where you study can have an impact on your salary. Though no university in the world, not even Oxford or Cambridge can guarantee you’ll become rich, it can increase your chances of earning a high income in your career. A top university would have the right systems in place to educate and equip you with the latest knowledge and skills so that you can hit the ground running when you start your job. With those skills, you can then outperform the rest and get promotions faster and command a higher salary.

Universities such as Taylor’s which is ranked Top 4 in the World for Employability,  Multimedia University (MMU) has 97% employability within 6 months of graduation according to Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) Tracer Study & MOE Kemaskini Status Pekerjaan 2015 and Asia Pacific University (APU) where 94.5% of their graduates find jobs before graduation.

Therefore the university you go to can have a huge impact on your future career in terms of how much you earn. This is simply to highlight the fact that where you study is very important to your career path.

If you’re motivated to earn a high salary, you should be choosing to study at top private universities in Malaysia. Higher education leads to much better earnings than those earned by non-graduates, although students also need to realise that their subject of choice is important in determining how much of an earnings advantage they will have.

Many people will try to advise you on what to study, some would speak with experience and knowledge but most would just simply talk without any experience or evidence to support what they say. It is important to talk to the right people to help you make the best choice with regard to your future.

How, Studying at a Top Private University in Malaysia can make you Rich

Rising Petrol price, high inflation, higher living costs, and an unstable world economy add to all our worries about having enough money to survive. Because of these uncertainties, many students have told me that they want to lessen the burden on their parents by “sacrificing” to study at the cheapest university.

On the other hand, I would disagree with this wrong thinking. Now, we all know the famous Chinese saying that “Cheap doesn’t mean it is good” or you get what you pay for. In addition, I am not saying that if your parents cannot afford for your studies at a private university, you must force yourself. What I am saying is that if your family can afford it, then go for it.

Of course, joining a top private university doesn’t automatically make you rich once you graduate. It is the environment and the opportunities that the university gives you and you take advantage of so that you will increase your chances of success.

Paying a bit more at top private university allows you access to better facilities, an English-speaking environment, qualified lecturers with more experience, better coordinated internships, and activities to help develop your soft skills.

All these, will equip you to be better prepared to face the challenges of a competitive work force. Hence, with the better preparation, you will rise up faster in promotions and therefore achieve higher salary quicker. With solid financial planning, you will become rich faster.

Top Private Universities Provide a Better Environment & Opportunities

Studying at a top ranking university or college in Malaysia gives you a lot of opportunities in your future professional life. Top universities provide a high standard of education that equips you well for your future career. Furthermore, a degree earned at a reputable university in Malaysia makes seeking employment much easier whether locally or globally.

I think most of us will agree that the aim of pursuing a higher education is to get a good job that provides a good salary so that we can have a good life. A stable job with high salary will allow us to maintain the lifestyle that we want and to take care of our family.

Studying at a top private college in Malaysia will set you apart because you will receive a high standard of education supported by excellent facilities. Many students make the mistake of choosing the cheapest college or university and regret when they could not get a good job because they did not gain the necessary knowledge and skills for their job.

• Qualified lecturers with more experience
  • Better universities will hire full time lecturers that are qualified and possess the necessary teaching experience. Full time lecturers are important as they will be at the university full time to be able to answer your questions and assist you in contrast to part-time lecturers.
  • Lecturers with more experience will command a higher salary, therefore, will go to universities who can pay them. If the fees at the university that you are interested in is very cheap, it would also mean that the lecturer won’t get paid much.
• English-speaking environment
  • Top Private universities provide an English-speaking environment where there are international students with whom you have to communicate in English during the course for 3 to 5 years and this will help you to improve. On the other hand, if you choose a university where you would be “comfortable’ at and most of them communicate in Mandarin, you won’t have the motivation or chance to talk in English. And “Yes” the lecturers would teach in English (some may talk in Mandarin) but that’s not the point because you won’t be the one talking and practising your English skills.
  • In addition, soft skills such as an English speaking environment, leadership skills, communication skills and internship programs will help the graduate stand out and be very successful. Research has shown that graduates with a good command of English has a 25% higher salary than those who don’t.
• Internships
  • Well coordinated internships allow students to put into practice what you have learnt throughout your university studies at a company. You will gain valuable insights into what working in a real job is and gain experience. Furthermore, interacting with your colleagues, you will learn from their experience and advise.
  • Performing well during your internship, the company may offer you a job when you graduate.
• Participation in Competitions
  • Top private universities will provide opportunities for their top performing students to participate in competitions related to their course. Participating in competitions will build your profile, experience and network.
  • When you win at these competitions, it will add value to your resume and thus be able to command a higher salary.
• Mobility Programme or Student Exchange Programme
  • A mobility programme will enrich your international exposure while studying for 1 semester overseas. You will learn to be independent and gain cultural insights as well as a wealth of knowledge and experiences.

Choosing the Best University to Study in Malaysia

Choosing a university to study in Malaysia is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Your decision will be influenced by many criteria. Furthermore many of the top private universities in Malaysia offer similar courses therefore making your decision a challenging one! To help you develop a good list of criteria, you need to talk to the right counsellors or education consultant who are knowledgeable and experienced.

Each university in Malaysia excels in particular areas, so you should ensure that your field of study is a strong-point of the university you choose. Choosing a university that is best in your field of study may provide you with access to more specialised opportunities, including custom-built facilities, field-specific academic opportunities and employment opportunities with prestigious organisations in your industry.

In addition, the best private universities and colleges in Malaysia have excellent facilities, years of experience running the programme, strong student support services, internships and experienced lecturers.

When choosing a university and college in Malaysia, it is important for students to visit the campus and see the facilities and feel the culture of the students to see if it fits you. The environment should be one where students speak mostly in English so that you can improve your English and communication skills. If you are weak in English and choose a cheap university where the students speak mainly in Mandarin, it will be difficult for you to improve your English.

Furthermore, the best private university in Malaysia will focus on quality, have award winners for the particular courses, years of experience offering the particular course, highly experienced lecturers, a good study environment (not a party university), internships, good mix of international & local students, extra-curricular activities and good facilities.

There are many reasons and motivations for attending university in Malaysia, so ask yourself some serious questions to identify what you want from your university experience.

It goes without saying that one of the most important considerations when it comes to choosing the right university to study in Malaysia is your course of interest and whether that particular university is popular for it. Additionally, many universities in Malaysia may offer the same course but many students fail to consider looking at the subjects, the experience of the university in running the course, awards won as evidence of the university’s capability and the facilities to support the course.

Many students have taken the easy way out and choosing the university that is cheapest, nearest and where most of their friends attend. They fail to understand that what they decide now can affect their future career forever

The courses at the universities should also be accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Education. Recognition and accreditation of the university’s courses by the various professional bodies such as the

• Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM)
• Pharmacy Board
• Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM)
• Nursing Board
• Malaysian Medical Council (MMC)
• Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA)
• Malaysian Bar – Legal Profession Qualifying Board

Start your Studies Earlier and become Rich Quicker

A lot of students also like to wait a long while before they start their Foundation studies. We must keep in mind that “TIME = Money”. The faster you begin your studies, the faster you complete, the faster you begin your work and gain valuable work experience and this translates to money in term of your salary.

Remember, the decisions that you make now, can change your life (in this case, your salary) forever. Take time to discuss with an experienced counselor to make your decisions wisely. Choose the university with the best environment and not the university with the cheapest fees, so that your salary will high for the next 60 years of your work life

I have made a simple calculation of how much you would earn at age 31, if you begin your studies in January. Look at the amount of money that you could have ad make the right decision.

1) SPM – Foundation (1 year) – Degree (3 years) = graduate at age 21

a) Graduates with good command of the English language

• Starting salary as Executive at RM2,800 x 12 months of first year work = RM33,600
• 2nd year  salary after 12% increment = RM3,136 x 12 months = RM37,632
• 3rd year salary after promotion to Senior Executive because of hard work & good English communication skills, given a RM600 increment = RM3,736 x 12 months = RM44,832
• 4th year salary after 12% increment = RM4,148 x 12 months = RM50,208
• 5th year salary after 12% increment = RM4,646 x 12 months = RM55,752
• 6th year salary after promotion to Assistant Manager  because of hard work & good English communication skills, given a RM600 increment = RM5,246 x 12 months = RM62,952
• 7th year of salary after 12% increment = RM5,876 x 12 months = RM70,512
• 8th year of salary after 12% increment = RM6,581 x 12 months = RM78,972
• 9th year salary after 12% increment = RM7,371 x 12 months = RM88,452
• 10th year salary after promotion to Manager  because of hard work & good English communication skills, given a RM1,000 increment = RM8,371 x 12 months = RM100,452

Total salary at age 31 = RM623,364

b) Graduates with weak English communication skills

• Starting salary as Executive at RM2,700 x 12 months of first year work = RM32,400
• 2nd year  salary after 8% increment = RM2,916 x 12 months = RM34,992
• 3rd year salary after 8% increment = RM3,149 x 12 months = RM37,788
• 4th year salary after 8% increment = RM3,401 x 12 months = RM40,812
• 5th year salary after promotion to Senior Executive given a RM600 increment = RM4,001 x 12 months = RM48,012
• 6th year salary after 8% increment = RM4,321 x 12 months = RM51,852
• 7th year of salary after 8% increment = RM4,666 x 12 months = R55,992
• 8th year of salary after 8% increment = RM5,039 x 12 months = RM60,468
• 9th year salary after 8% increment = RM5,442 x 12 months = RM65,304
• 10th year salary after 8% increment = RM5,877 x 12 months = RM70,524

Total salary at age 31 = RM498,144 ( a difference of RM125,220 from the graduate with good English taking the Foundation course)

2) SPM – STPM (2 years) – Fail STPM so take Foundation (1 year) – Degree (3 years) = graduate at age 23

Graduates with weak English communication skills

• Starting salary as Executive at RM2,700 x 12 months of first year work = RM32,400
• 2nd year  salary after 8% increment = RM2,916 x 12 months = RM34,992
• 3rd year salary after 8% increment = RM3,149 x 12 months = RM37,788
• 4th year salary after 8% increment = RM3,401 x 12 months = RM40,812
• 5th year salary after promotion to Senior Executive given a RM600 increment = RM4,001 x 12 months = RM48,012
• 6th year salary after 8% increment = RM4,321 x 12 months = RM51,852
• 7th year of salary after 8% increment = RM4,666 x 12 months = R55,992
• 8th year of salary after 8% increment = RM5,039 x 12 months = RM60,468

Total salary at age 31 = RM362,316 ( a difference of RM261,048 from the graduate with good English taking the Foundation course)

The calculation is only until your age of 31. Imagine how much you could have earned or lost by age 60. Think and decide well.

Do you want to be at age 47, with a house loan, 3 young children and your father in the hospital, and look at your low salary wishing you had made a better decision 30 years ago. Think and decide well.
