QUEZON CITY, Philippines (Eagle News) — The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has revealed the top 10 highest-paying jobs in the country.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz on Thursday revealed the list citing the latest study of the Bureau of Local Employment (BLE).
The top 10 highest-paying positions in the Philippines, according to this latest study are:
The labor secretary advised job seekers to be equipped with updated labor market information.
“Students and jobseekers may find the information and education materials regularly published by the (BLE) to be helpful in gathering labor market information,” Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III said.
Secretary Baldoz said that the salaries and jobs identified are not entry-level wages. One needs to have a bachelor’s degree related to the field.
“The compensations are obtained after years of work experience and after attaining some level of competency, as most employers in the identified industries would require. Also, occupants of these high-paying positions need to have bachelor’s degrees related to the field, at the very least.”
She also advised graduating students and seniors to be wise in selecting their career.
“I also advise them to refrain from choosing courses based on what’s in vogue or fashionable, or, to use the popular social lingo of the youth, what’s ‘trending’ and popular. Just because a neighbor’s son or daughter will take up this or that course does not mean you should follow suit.”
“Graduating high school students and the seniors following them should realize this early the significance of making wise and excellent career decisions. They themselves can help resolve the jobs and skills mismatch problem by pursuing courses and skills that would easily fit them into jobs or entrepreneurship opportunities in the labor market,” she added.
