I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

    Currently an intern in IT getting paid 17/hr. Pretty much everybody is telling me I’m getting paid shit. However, I’m very inexperienced, even though I’m taking comp sci classes, I don’t feel nearly knowledgeable enough or productive enough to justify getting paid more.

    Eventually I hope to be some server admin or some kind of security analyst. Maybe I’ll jump ship after a year or two but so far, any experience is good experience for me.

    If you guys have any career advice lmk.

      I took an early job or two where I was paid shit, but learning a ton. I told myself I would make up for it later by building up marketable skills.

      Today, I’m paid quite nicely because I built up lots of marketable skills. 10/10. I would do it that way again.

      That said, obviously I didn’t stay at those (shitty paying) jobs long term.
