Many people outside Indonesia probably had known that Indonesian people are the cheapest worker. It is really sad cause it also happen at the local job.
It started with no quality control, standarization of all school in Indonesia, has made companies could not set a standard for fresh graduate salary. People who are graduate and got associate degree, bachelor degree, and master degree get almost the same, depends on the experience.
But the point, no one appreciate the effort to get that degree in Indonesia. No standard, only experience and skill to speak.
Usually fresh graduate in Indonesia cannot support himself from his salary. Can eat,sleep, proper meal, but no buy something at all.
Few years ago, the salary of bachelor degree start from : Rp 1,5 juta each month. After ever jumped into Rp 1,8 juta, the global crisis happened and the basic salary starting to shrink again.
Isn’t it so sad ? That how much money have we spend to get that degree but there is no appreciation from the job world of our degree. It’s like useless, and unfair. People cannot living with this degree.
That’s why many people eager to open their own business. Eventhough it is small, but the income would be very different.
