For the past few days, I have been worrying over my future career paths. Come on, every young adult obsesses over this but me more so than usual. For one, i didn't want to any regrets choosing the wrong path. I made that by specialising young and going into biotech field. I don't want to make that same mistake again. Once bitten, twice shy.
All my close family and friends have been telling me, go for what you want. Do what you want. Gor for a field you really like. Well, What i want is to write and study literature. But let's face it, can i get a decent job in Singapore with a Degree in Literature? Except for teaching, I don't think so. What about a degree in writing? Not a chance.
So i am therefore, at a loss at which field to major in. Business is a safe bet given Singapore is a business hub but that field is saturated. And Singapore is now leaning towards being a finance hub and a Service Hub - but my maths aren't good and my services... I kid you not but I can blow up easily. A 6 months stint as a customer services officer convinced me not to go into the Services field.
So what now? What is suitable for me? Gosh, Now i wish i can strike 4D so that i can win the 3million. Imagine. No more money troubles. I can go for the degree i really want without a care in the world.
So for the time being, I'm stuck between majoring in Business or Communications - worrying until i got a few more white hairs.
And then, while surfing the internet yesterday, I came across this member with this signature:
"We spend far too much time planning for our future that we forget to live in the present..."
... Isn't that what i'm doing now...?
When i saw this sentence, it was like a bolt of lightning struck me. Suddenly, i felt a lot less worried and a lot more relaxed. Worry is a heavy burden. How true. I have never felt so light for a long time.
Right now, i've applied for both courses. Now all there's left to see which course i got into.
I still have yet to make up my mind though...
