by leaps and bounds
I'm already in the 2nd week of my new job and i think everything's going on really well.
My learning curve is slightly different from others so i've to keep on asking questions to be sure of what i'm doing so as to avoid making any mistakes in future.
I think my route was pathed right from the beginning.
At least for now i love the environment i'm working in although it may not be the best.
But for an unadaptive person like me, the environment is relatively good.
I thank God for bringing me to this and allowing my thoughts to come through to me
- not jumping into the 1st random job that came along,
and
rejecting a government job (it was a damn tough decision because the govt was going to announce bad unemployment and the official economic crisis at that point of time)
I'm glad all these worked out.
Most of my colleagues there have worked for 5years and above - 30%.
And the rest of 10% probably left.
The remaining 60% worked 10years and above!!
There's this lady who's in her 30s and has been there 10+ years.
It was her 1st job.
Well, of course i hope to stay there as long as i can and to learn as much as i can :)
So out there, i know there are some graduates who haven't got a job.
If you're reading this and u're troubled over it, don't be.
Because you don't know what's there for you at the end of the hunt.
Or better, you don't even have to hunt and it comes to you (just like me!)
When i tried, i keep on missing. But when i stopped, i hit it!
I didn't get a job for 2-3months after my last exam for my uni life.
Then went on to get a temp job (which i met a colleague whom i can clique with).
Worked for 3 months there and then here i am, with a slightly higher than market pay in this crisis.
I am so thankful.
Don't sacrifice your happiness for your job.
If you think u're gona be miserable in a particular field, that's not for you.
Heck the make-use-of-my-degree mentality.
You won't want to be unhappy especially in this youthful stage.
How many 20s can you live through.
We have only 10 years of adultish youth.
1st 3/5 for studying and getting to know the world.
The next half for getting to know the world in greater detail with spending power.
Being happy is REALLY x 10 important.
If you're unhappy, don't waste your time.
Of course, i'm not saying that one should go on a quitting streak whenever there are obstacles.
That's a quitter, not a fighter.
There must of course be some form of fight against quitting before the unhappiness overwhelms the monetary part of the job.
That's when one should leave.
Go pursue your happiness!!
