Infinity & Beyond?
In a few months time, all of us will be taking the most crucial test of our life so far.
In a month after that, all of us will taste freedom after a month-long full of sweat , blood ( not really ) and tears and officially be out of school.
In a few more months after that, all of us will be showered with brochures and lectures and more brochures and visits and workshops, all heading to one question, "What do you want to be?"
It honestly is a hard question. I've changed my "dream job" countless times all my life. From a pilot to a policeman, to a firefighter to a musician. But due to talent limitation, personal refrain , and ever-changing mind of an Aries ( Yes, It's true if you were to believe the tweets of an Aries account on Twitter .) People always say, do something that you love. Do something that you can see yourself doing in 40 years time. To do something that I would go home to my family with a big ass smile on my face.
I want that. Don't get me wrong. But do I really want that? As in financially. After briefly thinking, through all my options. Well, I don't even know how to continue after that without it sounding cheesy and all. Welp, here it goes.
JOURNALIST
This is the path that I say I will go to when people ask me the question. And they always say, "You will be in the frontlines reporting the rebels uprising against the Syrian regime, or across the Middle East reporting the Arab Spring." And most often , I would reply with "Life & death has no meaning to me. If it were to come, it is inevitable." Do I really mean that? I don't know. Not to mention the pay for these kind of jobs are ridiculously low unless you've made it to the top of the top. AND, my English is kinda pathetic. Pathetic to the point that it is laughable.
WRITER
Same problems as per mentioned above, terrible level of English is my obstacle to this. And do I have the patience and determination to face hundreds and thousands of rejection letters?

ADVERTISING
This is consider the "pillow plan" for me. The pay is reasonable, and I will have the guidance of my Godsister as she is considered one of the best in South East Asia. But I don't really have interest in advertising truth to be told. And I can't draw. And I can't present. Welp.
WEB DESIGNER
This is something that have intrigued me since the day I've found of this magnificent thing. But it is incredibly tough. Believe it, I took and read a book on it few weeks back, and it's full of symbol and numbers and letters. I know it will include that, but not to this extent. Was absolutely shocked by it. But the feeling of achievement of seeing a well-made, beautiful page will always be the motivation in doing this.
TRAVELER
EASY DECISION. I want to travel. I want to visit every country in the world. I want to be like Gunnar Garfors. I want to know every culture in the world. I want to indulge myself in things that people call food back home. Low cash, unreliable cash for that matter. sigh.
Too lost.
The next post hopefully will be a "WHERE TO WORK" post.
WELP.
