Changing lanes

First of all, a big congratulations to my homie Jiraiya-sama for finally getting a job. Its hard chillin out at home doing nothing ehh?..hehehe.. anyway, speaking of jobs i'm in a midst of plotting an escape from my current job to another. I'm kinda getting bored of what i'm doing now and am seeking out for opportunities to put into good use what i have learnt in my university. But i cant leave till i nail one down so i have the cash keep flowing in but the whole issue make me have a few thoughts.

When you are studying, working is something that you look foward to and the idea of having a job with a MNC and a good salary rolling in sounds good but reality is far from that. The ideals of having a good life when you work come crashes down when you do get that job with an MNC. Your salary will go into paying bills and sustaining your living leaving few for savings and lifestyle indulgences. At work , you will come into realization that you are very very small in the whole equation and have alot of years of experience to catch up. Its makes you humble and shows you the long road and mountains ahead. But does having a specific job or working with any big companies have an effect on what you will become in the future? No, the future lies in your hand to do what is right to achieve your dreams and goals. A job is a tool that you use to learn your mistakes and to gain the knowledge to upgrade your value and worth. And with God's grace you will be there in the end. This is what i believe.

For those who are heading to the direction of starting a career, take your time off to RECHARGE and look for work only when you are bored sitting at home and willing to do something worthwhile. Or maybe when you need the money.
