Looking back...

When we started to join the statistics of the Philippine workforce

When we started to contribute to the Philippine economy

first salary was also 8,000 but this was back 1997.

i spent it on office clothes because the company had a strict dress code.

My first salary was for 18,000 back in 2006. Contact center for an American account. That was when America's economy was still okay  :D

Had family dinner and chill out night with friends.. Then had the rest as work budget for 2 weeks..

P5k! So far am the lowest siguro dito! hehe It was close to min wage - early 90s.  P3500 ata min wage that time.   

I think what's important sa first job is the experience and exposure.  Bec from there, you can move on to greater things.  Pay should be one of the last consideration (hindi naman siguro last).

27k, 2002. 3 months salary yan. haha!!!

i was with the government kaya super tagal na-process ng first salary ko. sa sobrang hiya ko sa nanay ko kakahingi ng allowance during the time na wala akong sweldo, binigay ko yata yung kalahati sa kanya. the rest, pinambili ko ng things ko for my next job.

kasi after i got my first and LAST salary dun, nag-fly away na ko. haha!!! di ko kaya yung ganung katagal at kababa magpasweldo.

My first salary was 12k in etelecare way back in 2001. Can't really remember what I spend my first pay for. But I do remember using my entire xmas bonus to buy my very first dog. A mini-schnauzer.

Babushka has been with me for 7 years and she's one purchase I will never regret.
