Live believing, dreams are for weaving
i started humming THE song when i got off the bus from parkway today. and i actually sang it out loud as i walked home, stopping only when i reached the lift.
-------
my dream: to start a good aero career
obstacles: difficult to get interviews, emotional-blackmailing parents, abundance of non-aero mech eng jobs, inertia, (lack of) gd grades and charisma. and dwindling $
it is so easy to stray off the path.
"you think it's so easy to get your dream job ah?!"
"just get one or two yrs' experience first."
"feed yourself!"
and i start wondering if i should single-mindedly pursue my dream. what if i take some #$@$ job for 2 yrs, then find it hard to switch? like more inertia or something. i'd be a disgruntled worker all the time.
on the other hand, as a young graduate, i should be flexible and adaptive, blah blah. so i shud take all sorts of jobs.
arghhhhh
i dont even know what to think.
i'm so sian of always talking abt jobs jobs jobs
ok.......
just heard of 2 frens who got aero jobs in the company which rejected me after interview round 1. not many left idling at home.
maybe i'll just take up some teaching sh*t.
reality always wins.......
does it?

Yiwen... for what it's worth, I feel the same way.
dream: a career related to the arts
obstacles: lack of positions, lack of interviews, lack of proper background, lack of good grades and charisma, not knowing what I really want, parents who worry too much for me
If needs be, I think I will be able to make myself accept and adapt to a job provided it isn't way out of my comfort zone. Then again, I'm not so sure. And why should I settle for second/third/fourth-best and waste my life away yearning for something better?
I'm starting to feel a little alienated because almost everyone has entered the working world. I try to enjoy this break and use my time to the fullest, but there's a nagging worry that I really shouldn't be idling at home.
There may not be many of us left but you aren't the only one =) Tell me if you want to go for the career fair (er actually I haven't heard of it) maybe we can go together!
hi jaclyn,
i totally identify with your
"why should I settle for second/third/fourth-best and waste my life away yearning for something better?" =)
