Getting a Job?Well... was in a better mood now compared to yesterday la... feeling was quite bad last nite... couldn't even sleep well cos of the many issues planted into my poor brain by Andrew (note that for once I'm not using "my dear uncle"... cos not in a very "dear" mood now u see).
Anw wad happened last nite was him nagging at me that I should go get a job instead of sleeping at home everyday, which I do admit, is what I'm doing now la. But what I feel is that I'd juz finished exams, and I have 3 months break... I'll be going overseas midway... so wun getting a job now be very not-here-not-there? Well but I gotta admit that there is some sense in his argument la. His point of view is that every job is a learning experience, and what better time to get these experiences than now, when u're schooling and can afford to try out different fields of the working world? My point of view is that you have the rest of ur entire life to work, why wan to start now, when u can still afford to slack?
He feels that I should try out different jobs now so that I would find out my interests, but I already know what my interest is -- teaching. (I know this may sound totally ridiculous to some of my frens here, but I really do enjoy being a teacher!) But his argument is that every field of job teaches u different things, what I learn from another totally unrelated to teaching job will also teach me things which can be applied to what I'm going to do in future... well... which makes sense too. But then again, I'm not going to juz anyhow land myself a job la... call me picky or wad... but I wan to at least enjoy what I'm doing la... even if it's work.
So... after much tossing and turning in bed last night, I finally came up with a compromising solution. I would still wan to play now... not ready to go work yet... and plus I'm going holiday for 2 wks in June, which is lyk in the middle of nowhere. So... I'm kinda keen in trying out sales, as in be a salesgirl, cos that's one field I'd never tried before. Then if I could really get a sales job, I could continue working throughout my schooling period... whereby I can work a few days a week... which I personally think is a good idea, compared to finding some holiday job, and work abt a month, then quit. And also cos I'd tried tuition and is rather sian of it (hey, teaching in a sch is totally different frm tutoring, so I'm not being self-contradicting here), so I wun really consider tutoring during my schooling period anymore.
So... solution is that I would start looking for a sales job after my China trip ok? End of discussion. Ultimately I'm still going to expose myself to the outside world, juz that it will start a few months later, and I also get to have my share of slacking and doing nothing.
