Compared to being a tour guide for Vietnamese people, being a tour guide for Western tourists is considered a more civilized job and easier to make money. Normally, a professional tour guide can earn from 3-5 million VND per day. The job is also relatively simple but requires good communication skills.
Normally, the average salary is around 500,000 VND/day. In addition to the salary, tour guides can receive additional bonuses from guests and commissions when guests come to places to buy gifts. The guide fee is fixed, however, the bonus and purchase commission must depend on the behavior and relationship of the tour guide with tourists and shop owners.
"Labor export" profession
This is not considered an official profession, however, this job creates jobs for hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese workers each year, especially unskilled workers and workers without high technical qualifications or expertise.
Some potential labor export markets that workers can go to are Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Germany... all offer incomes of thousands of dollars per month. For example, in Korea, workers can receive a salary of about more than 2,000 USD/month (equivalent to about 45-50 million VND). Some other markets such as Taiwan and Japan have slightly lower incomes, ranging from 1,000 - 1,500 USD (about 23-30 million VND).
Technology driving profession
Last year witnessed the explosion of technology driving profession. Taking advantage of the 4.0 revolution, many taxi companies, Uber or Grap have expanded their business systems and recruited drivers. With just a smartphone with Internet connection and a means of transportation such as a motorbike or car, you can become a professional driver.
Normally, a motorbike driver using technology can receive a salary of 8-10 million/month if working full-time. Some people drive more, and can receive a much higher salary. Especially for car drivers, the income can be 2-3 times higher than that of motorbike drivers.
Cyber security engineer career
The development of the 4.0 technology revolution means that cyber attacks can have a huge impact, on a global scale. To ensure operational safety, every business needs to choose the right cybersecurity service provider, including protecting and synthesizing the organization's information.
This requires managers to equip and recruit a team of employees who are good at information technology and network management. Workers in this industry have an income of no less than 2,000 USD/month, along with the best welfare regimes compared to other jobs.
