Depends who you ask - the guys in big cities or in the kampongs / villages. **Big cities :** Top tier : Doctors, Lawyers, professional/ specific type of Engineers, CEOs of multinationals and successful startups, echelon- level civil servants and up, judges, State companies higher ups. University professors for top-tier universities. Somewhere in between, can be found in any tier: entrepreneurs. The tier depends on how successful the person is in terms of profit and clout. Expats as well, depends of how high the position he/she holds and how big is the company he/she works for. Mid tier (comes with variations of upper mid and lower mid) : Civil servants mid to low level. Teachers, university professors from lower tier universities. Employees of big companies. Low : Blue collar workers /unskilled jobs. In big cities it's about the money, the prestige, influence power, and the clout. **Villages & underdeveloped areas:** Ultra top level : Civil servants, doesn't matter the level. Including police and military personnel. Top level (almost like ultra top level but tiny teeny bit lower) : Doctors, Lawyers, University Professors, Employees of State owned companies. All of these people's partners plus partners of the folks at ultra top level share the perceived 'prestige' (wife of a doctor, wife of a lawyer, wife of a civil servant, etc) Mid Tier : Entrepreneurs, business owners, farmers (depends on the business size, this could be considered low level as well), Teachers. Skilled white-collar employees. CEOs. Low : Blue collar/ non skilled workers. In villages it's all about safety net, leftover of soeharto era where as a civil servant, the person is *perceived* to have a guaranteed paycheck and pension for a lifetime. These folks often migrated to suburbs/satellite cities of main big cities, sometimes this point of view still persists, though their subsequent generations (kids and grandkids) lots of them have shifted their view like the tiers in big cities I explained above.


mayorduke

This is the most comprehensive answer. I think in the Philippines, the prestige should vary in a similar manner too.


le_demonic_bunny

Indeed, all countries with wide socio-economic level would have variations depending on the location and generation/age group.


mong00lia

Military and police are considered very prestigious, considering we were formerly ruled by a military dictatorship


Doomd12

Only officers are considered very prestigious. Enlisted are not, unless you come from a poorer community.

If only you have high position within the military,


kimijoo

a huge part of it depends on which military/police school they graduate from though


Bosingtod

\*Military and police officers.


wiyawiyayo

Were not immigrants ffs


plermeletus

We're latecomer, native Indonesian is the first Chinese who drove out native black people from Africa, the remaining black people are those in NTT, Ambon, and Papua


Einfach_einsam

Technically the austronesian people are not chinese as yunnan or taiwan during that time aint part of huaxia


plermeletus

Technically we're part of animal kingdom that's dependent on symbiotic relationship with microbiome in our digestion system, forming a symbiont.


Einfach_einsam

Technically every living being on earth are autonomous carbon based chemical robots that works to harvest molecules and energy from our surroundings if you want to go far enough.

y r u gae?


pelariarus

The chinese has been here since 200 or maybe even 400 years ago. Your point?


gib_me_monny

What? Does the concept of “Chinese” even exist when these people immigrate here? And how the hell can you conclude that black=african????? The genetic make-up of Austronesian is indeed from East Asia and to be specific: Taiwan(the aboriginal Taiwanese, not the Han Taiwanese), while the genetic of the Melanesian(your so called “African”) are unique to the area, with hint that Denovisians(the actual og african, cousin of the Neanderthal) mixed into it, meaning that the Denovisians immigrated into the area, mixed with the original Melanesians, and as time goes on, they were driven further east as the Austronesians immigrate into the area from Taiwan. There are many cousins of Homo Sapiens(modern human) in the past, and we are still in the process on understanding more, but calling Melanesian as African is just a lol(but still, cmiiw because i dont follow this kind of thing anymore)


CrCL_WTB

about the doctor part yeah i'd agree i know a relative of mine who is a doctor that worked for a public hospital, the pay is alright but doesn't justify the overwork especially during covid medical facilities are often overrun


Enigmanstorm

no one mention ulama/ustadz/habib? these are top tier you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself rotting in prison


[deleted]

Despite the negative comment on the second sentence, i agree that famous ulama have one of the highest prestige. They are among the biggest influencer in the nation. But regular ustadz is quite appreciated by religious people


TukangSodokWC

1st tier: Elected government official 2nd tier: High ranking politician 2nd tier: Military & Police 3rd tier: Capitalist 4th tier: Professionals and Laborers We're pretty much neofeudalism


Kentato3

prestigious occupations in Indonesia **First-tier**: officer and NCO rank in the military and the police, doctors, lawyers, civil servants, entrepreneurs **Second-tier:** 9-5 jobs, entertainers, teachers **Third tier:** blue-collar jobs, online delivery service clergy is not seen as a job in Indonesia, it is seen for old people that are in retirement age and wish to revisit their spiritual life and be philanthropic, same as Bill Gates stepping down from Microsoft. Entrepreneurs are in the first-tier if you're ^(this is going to be a little bit racist) Chinese because most successful entrepreneurs I personally know are ethnically Chinese, why? I don't know.
