♥ Career Crush
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Doctor! Lawyer! etc etc
These are the predicted answers most kids would give because their parents told them to do any of these jobs when they grow up because you would find a lot of money.
And how many of these kids turn out to become a doctor or a lawyer when they grow up?
I am one of those kids. And I am sure I am not going to be a doctor or a lawyer. It's not that I don't want, I'm just not smart enough. Not only me but I'm sure most kids did not turn out to be a doctor or lawyer.
I would say most of these kids would end up working at a 9-5 job. Struggling to put bread on the table and desperately working hard to pay the rents and bills.
My dad always tell me, "Why do we parents need to pay so much for the education? 40 to 50k! Then end up you'll be working every month earning what? Maybe 1.8k to 2.2k?" Well, his intentions are not trying to say education is useless but his hidden agenda is to ask me to work for him in future and take over his business. But its quite true to what he said. How many years would it take for me to pay my parents back for the money they gave me for my education?
If I were to earn roughly 2k every month, I would need to eat everyday, petrol for the car, and some shopping or miscellaneous stuff, maybe give my parents a bit of money (I don't even know whether they will accept the a bit of money because it might be too little to even see the sum!)... Can I even do some saving every month!?
Recently I told my mum something I wanted to do after I graduated and before I start working..
She went !#$%^*&^%#!!!!!@!!!!
Great.
Some people are just so lucky that they can change their normal boring cycle of life routine if they want to.
Some just can't.
What is the normal boring cycle of life? Study fuckinghard for your future -> Find an awesome job with awesome pay -> Work for the rest of your life -> Die
Of course you can include Marriage or whatsoever but I'm talking about in career wise.
I (think) know what I want to do. But is this the right path?
One day I went to the Borders bookstore and came across a book. Something like a self-help book. The book basically ask readers to Follow your heart. Because you'll never know what's gonna happen if you don't try.
So, follow your heart and dissapoint others. (:

I know someone who have graduated and still doing nothing.
I know someone who have graduated but still not happy with their current job.
I know someone who studied halfway but is happily working now because work is just too cool to quit.
I know someone who have graduated, doing nothing, and just partying.
I know someone who have graduated, partying hard, thinking to go back school or not because work gonna suck.
I know someone who does not know what they want to do in future. Goal-less.
I know someone who did not graduate but has millions of goals.
I know someone who have graduated and loves the current job to the max. Happy for him/her.
I know someone who is a future doctor. fml.
