Someone posted that it could be 15k for a beginner or 30k for an experienced 5 year employee.
What I said is another example of the diverse possible earnings one can make. It could be 2 million annually or 240k annually. If one earns 2 million it doesn't mean you're the best and if you earn 240k, you're the worst. Sometimes its luck and sometimes its the right opportunity that presents itself. Its important to know the potential of a field you want to get into.
The one biggest factor that they don't teach in college because of "by the book mentors" is that you have to sell yourself well. Even if you're intellectually gifted but have poor social skills and poor communication skills you will not get clients.
And its not impossible to make your first million at age 21-22  
The potential is there even in the Philippines.

Haha! nakakamiss mga ganitong pagtatalo dito.. but I support this statement better

kung makakatyamba lang ng ganyan ..mag uwian na tayo lahat

Even though you are super renderer but your attitude sucks you will end up getting in fights and arguements. Ff&e will shoot you. Designers will shoot you and final. The boss will kick you out.  Btw im a renderer and i own a 5 room flat in sg. Does that answer your enquiry. For my fellow cgpeeps hold your horses. Bakit nag iinit kagad kayo. Chill lang. Peace
