And so once again the new week starts, and with each and everyday that passes by my finals are getting closer. I really sucks that i wanna leave my studying life behind me, but at the same time i'm too comfortable to get out there and look for a job. I have worked in the pass, stuff relating to what i'm studying too and its all good...but i just can't see myself working at this moment, so with that kind of mentality how am i gonna be prepared for life after graduation?
I was having a conversation with one of my friends say about 2 weeks ago regarding fresh grads looking for jobs. You'd realise that companies tend to hire people with working experience, now the funny thing about it all is that how are you gonna find fresh grads with experience when they are just....fresh grads??? Strange isn't it, i mean yeah la of course got people out there wanting to change jobs and what not. But don't they realise that there are a whole lot of fresh grads out there looking for jobs and wanting to apply for them, how are these people gonna get the job when all they ever ask is 'do you have working experience'.
Sigh i don't know, i don't really feel like working in the near future. Worst of all i don't even feel like doing anything lol. It would be great if people could do whatever they wanted to and didn't have to worry bout income. So how do we get the money, well it just materializes out of no where....like magic!!! hahaha....now that would be so cool. Oh well, i think i'll just let this feelings of mine sink in and then i'll rethink about it or maybe i should get uncomfortable, hahahaha. You know the word comfortable is a very dangerous word...why leh? Well simply because if you are comfortable then that would mean that there is no room for improvement. Lets imagine you going to a wedding dinner, now obviously you would be seated in a table with all your friends la. So there you are having a great time talking bout whats been going on, eating and drinking and what not. Now at the end of the day the only thing you gained is probably knowledge of what happened to your friends that you haven't seen in maybe a week or longer, other then that you'd probably also have a great time of laughter and what not. Now compare that to if you were to sit with a whole table full of strangers, in this scenario you'd gain new friends and on top of that your network of friends would grow....so thats the difference between being comfortable and uncomfortable.
Obviously from the two scenarios there are gains as well as losses, but it really is up to the person to decide which he or she would prefer right? So right now i think i just prefer to be comfortable.

just to let you know that i'm in the same boat with you, so to say.
and i totally agree with your 'comfortable theory'. hehHee. =P
i like to be 'comfortable' too, but people say i'm 'lazy'...
Juli: hell they can call it whatever they wanna call it...i'll just call it comfortable, totally different, don't like it?? then sue me ;P hehehe
It is getting competitive around out there, graduates are a dime a dozen. good and bad also lar. But in an ideal world, ppl would take their time to study and work part time to get some experience.
In the end, dun be limited to the field of work your degree entails. A job is a job, bills need to be paid, it's good if u can find an enjoyable job.
good luck !!
at least you got home court advantage !
