Job advertisement shows education does not guarantee a good pay.
“Education is the art of making man ethical,” they say, but not rich – especially in the Pakistani bureaucracy. A recent job advertisement for a Public Sector Development project showed that education, a post-graduate degree specifically, does not guarantee a good pay scale.
The vacancy announcement advertised the post of a research officer with a minimum qualification of a Master’s or Master of Philosophy (MPhil), who is offered Rs20,000 a month. However, another vacancy ad for National Electronic Power Regulatory Authority, posted right above it, offered Rs22,000 per month for a driver, requiring matriculation as the minimum level of education.

NEPRA: National Electric Power Regulatory Authority not National Electronic Power Regulatory Authority.
salary for a typical Pakistani bureaucrat has no meaning when he earns millions and billions from corruption
few months ago, i remember seeing one ad in pakistani news paper where Jamadar pay was more than the lecturer pay. the wiered thing was that both jobs were on the same Ad along with some other positions. i am sure it was not by mistake.
