The list highlights the financial allure of engineering professions, prompting discussions on whether these jobs resonate with the younger generation’s aspirations. In an era dominated by dreams of TikTok stardom and YouTube success, the team pondered the evolving landscape of career choices as reported by 702.
While radio presenters, including Darren himself, are left in limbo regarding their “sexiness” in the job market, the team humorously noted that being a TikTok star or YouTuber didn’t make the cut in the top-paying jobs list. However, these unconventional careers may still secure multiple income streams.
Additionally, Darren compared South Africa’s average monthly salary for 2023 to other BRICS countries, offering a unique perspective:
- Brazil: R7570
- Russia: R9453
- India: R11000
- China: R17679
Despite South Africa having the highest average salary among BRICS nations, the team acknowledged the challenging economic landscape, emphasising the need for continuous improvement. The discussion concluded with a lighthearted remark about South Africa’s average salary not being “great” but better than it could have been, given the global context.
