Conversation between me and my tutor today:
"You ah.. should better start to think about what to do in future"
"Those in chem, where are they headed too?"
"Hmm.. They can be teacher, researcher, scientist, chemical analysts..."
"Those in physics?"
"Teacher, reseacher, physicists... (plus a few i can't remember)"
"Maths?"
"Teacher... Mathematician..(more i can't remember.. all sound as boring) "
"Life sciences?"
"Teachers again (with a chuckle), researcher, scientists.. Ah reporters in medical journals too.
"Engineering?"
"Engineer lohz.. Chem engineering, civil engineers..
"I dont want either"
"Hahaha.."
"What about others? Arts?"
"In arts fac there's geog, history, lit, chi..."
"What can those history people do? Historians???"
"Yeah."
"Are there any real historians in singapore?"
"Your teachers.. They're historians."
"Thats all to history?"
"Ahm.. They get to work in the National Heritage Board. Which is not bad la.. haha."
"Then geog?"
"Er.. you can go and work at the weather station.."
"Ah. Haha. Got others?"
"Statistics, Accountancy.. Hmm accounting is not bad!"
"Statistics do what?"
"People will hire u do do some statistics for them."
"Why do all of them sound so awful?"
"Hahaha.. Well there's law!"
"Is that a lot of work?"
"Quite a bit la.. But less than medicine.. Much less."
"Oh. Medicine is like how?"
"Oh they get to memorize thick thick books.. You see the med fac library (or sth like that.. there're like a few libraries in NUS ).. it's always packed with people."
"Arts that library nobody la?"
"Yeah haha.. not so full".
"I like the arts library."
"Haha.. If u want, there's psychology, business, sociology.. (plus many others). Hmm.. ya thats about all that's offered in singapore."
Great. Neither of these appeal to me. I have totally no idea what i am working towards. Teachers, researchers, scientists, analysts, engineers are out. Cos i don't want to study for the rest of my life. Nor be involved in any of these when i have definitely not accumulated enough interest yet. Nor report to a rain guage every hour.
There're probably a million jobs out there but.. when u really narrow them down in relation to what u study.. your (or rather my) choices really shrink. What else can i think of? Entrepreneur? CEO of some gigantic company? Hahaha.. It's hard to have a vision about these now.. We just have to pick off where our studies bring us to and let life do the rest don't we. Yeah that's the conventional way. Will i do something different? I have no idea.. but somewhere in my heart i doubt it.
The available options left? Medicine. Law. These give me the quakes.. I'm not exactly your study person. Not to mention it's already pretty hard to get into these facs, u climb mountains after u get in. Mountains of books. The shitload of work they do.. It's depressing just to think about it. Sigh. That's what life is.. No fun!! ><
Hmm.. Actually Doctor Tan sounds like so dam cool.
So does "Have you met my cousin? He's a lawyer."
And "Let me introduce you to my friend. He's a doctor."
Wow.
K.. I'll be a doctor or a lawyer! Mmm this suits me, after all i've always loved to protect the weak and stand up for the helpless! And save lives as well! Excellent. I have a goal in life now! ^^
Or i could start up my own company and make my first million by 25. And i'll get secretary to work with me. As my secretary! Hahahaha..
Yeah. This's it. =P
Lol. Dreams..
