System engineer (often also system administrator) is responsible for the smooth operation and maintenance of the computer system. This means configuring devices, checking logs for errors, adding users, clearing caches and temporary areas, applying patches and updates, and most important of all: knowing and documenting how all these things are done.Strong Eagle wrote:What's a Linux 'engineer'?carpuff wrote:How about for a 2-year Linux Engineer?

zarro1: Average household income is S$5.4k.
S$3k is a bit on the low side. Due to the high cost of living, it won't be comfortable if you have a family.
P.S.: The moderator will remove your outrageously commercial signature, which is against forum rules. I hope this was not the main point of your posting ...

zarro1 : Stop posting bullshit - an accountant with 4 years experience cannot even get half of what you claim!
(And foreigners cannot freelance, which I suppose is what you mean by "private practise".)
If I were the moderator, I would ban you now for SPAMming the forum with nonsense only to place a stupid ad in the signature.

That sounds a lot more like a computer operator/sys admin.zarro1 wrote:System engineer (often also system administrator) is responsible for the smooth operation and maintenance of the computer system.

I hold a degree in electrical engineering and I am ABET certified. Being a real engineer means at least four years of intensive advanced mathematics and engineering design courses.
It is a bastardization of the term to call someone a software 'engineer' or a Linux 'engineer' when they are programmers and admins.
Hope it helps.

Your post got me interested, since I'm considering working in Singapore. I've had a look at the PEB website, and I find their guidelines... interesting, to say the least. Does anyone have experience with this? They list only 6 engineering institutions in Germany (and we are very proud of our engineering disciplines hereStrong Eagle wrote:True - and it can be a real challenge to get a PE with an electrical engineering degree... just not the same impetus as other fields.CJO wrote:There are some who would say you can't call yourself an engineer unless you hold a PEStrong Eagle wrote:It is a bastardization of the term to call someone a software 'engineer' or a Linux 'engineer' when they are programmers and admins.

Is the PE certification considered a big plus in Singapore for a job application? I have no experience with such a membership, since in Germany there is no such comparable scheme, engineer is engineer.
I hold a Dipl.-Ing. degree (which has been replaced by the Master of Engineering degree within recent years) in Electrical Engineering.

How much can a chemical engineer who holds a PhD from a top-10 US institution expect to make per month?

Here's a start. Going through this particular thread has a lot of resources listed. Granted it's long but there's nuggets amongst the chaff here......
