    There's too much supply of engineering graduates and not enough jobs to match, as a result companies start exploiting professionals like that. I have over 12 years in the industry and there are very few well paying jobs, 5 to 10%, the rest of them pay peanuts. Those who are blessed will enjoy the ride, but majority of engineers are frustrated. Dedicate yourself and excel while you're in varsity and also as a junior engineer, that will help set you apart and hopefully land you in some of the best companies.

    If I were the 1st two Candidates mentioned in this video, I would have chosen an Apprenticeship program in Millwright, Instruments Mechanician, or Fitter and Turner Not the Graduate 🎓 Programme😴
    This is my Best 👌 investment:
    1. National diploma (Technician)
    2. Trade Certificate (Artisan)
    3. Register with (ECSA)
    3. Projects Management to Advanced.
    4. Work Experience (Specific Machinery)
    5. Then Apply for GCC exam
    Estimated time ⏲️: minimum = 5 years.
    In My Opinion 😊.

    Boni there’s a difference between someone that did a BTech in engineering, a national diploma and a BEng/Bsc Engineering degree. Usually the BEng/Bsc Engineering holds the highest earning potential. This is what you referred to about the UP graduates that get around 30k pm. Not to say that the others cannot reach that high earning potential with experience.

    • @liferesetwithboni

      @@sawanav6499 you guys are not informed and it is concerning that you come to such platforms and spread such lies.
      So this is how this works:
      1. It depends on where you get a graduate program or internship
      2. Anyone with a national diploma upwards can qualify for a GCC, obviously this is provided you studied towards mechanical or electrical engineering
      3. A company will pay for the course work and provide the experience required
      4. Mining companies don’t usually care whether you have a BEng or diploma because at the end of the day you don’t necessarily certify anything you just need to be smart, have leadership potential and be willing to work hard. There is a lot of moving between places.
      4. Every one doing GCC goes through step 3 hence the salary is the same!

      Download the subjects needed for a mechanical GCC (Ndiploma) compare with what you have and check the outstanding ones needed to qualify, they are 19 in total and must be above 50%. Must have over two years of factory/ plant experience, over 23 years.
      1. Statement of results for all 19 subjects certified.
      2. Fill in the application form and pay a certain amount
      3. If you meet the qualifying criteria you ll be issued with an acceptance letter from DOL that expires after 3 years certifying you as candidate engineer.
      4. Prepare for the factory and Ohs law exam written in May and November every year.
      5. Wait for the results, it normally takes one to two months before publishing them to your exam center.
      6. Submit the statement of results and acceptance letter to DOL and you ll then be issued with a GCC certifying that your a certified Engineer.
      7. Then you can start applying for vacancy that requires a GCC certificate to be appointed as GMR2.1 or GMR2.7 to ensure that plant complies with the OHSA regulation, and that's when you start making 6 digits.
      Hopefully this information is clear for your journey 🙏

    And make sure you don’t have expats that are converting their salaries from US dollars to rands, which is very common..
    For instance, a classic saver at discovery is way more than R1000 so do your homework as well… don’t sell people dreams, overtime and bonus’s are is are not salaries hence are usually the first to go when companies are going through tough times, please do your homework and stop selling dreams..
