Future

Admit it, we are all scared of the future. I know i am.

As i am nearing to the final stages in Polytechnic, i can't help but to feel ultra scared and worried about how will i be able to make it in the working world on my own. With all that: Job searching, interviews, dealing with assigned tasks, what will my future boss and colleagues think of me, what clothes should i buy, will i even survive the first week/month, how will i cope if i decide to study part time.. the list goes on.

And these crazy thoughts will constantly roam around my mind, just waiting for me to have a mental breakdown. But the thing is, i am almost clueless about what i want to do in life. A career path? Nothing comes to mind. i freaking hate myself for this. That is why i am truly envious of my close friends who have had their future planned out perfectly. Opening a cafe in 5 years, to be a Financial Director, Migrate to other countries, get married in blah blah years. Sigh.

So the other day i met up with some close friends of mine for dinner and one of them, advised me on taking a job at a government agency first for a career start. Mainly to get used to the working world, get my car licence, go to the University if i decided to and get experience while i plan my next move. 

And after a consultation session with my dad, I am 80% sure now that i am going to work in a government agency after graduating. According to him, looking at Singapore's situation now and the demand of workers in the private sector, it is actually a wiser choice to start a career under the government. Secure job placing, acceptable pay. Just the downside of it is that it is a MONOTONOUS job. Doing the same thing everyday. But if that is what i have to overcome, the least i could do is to give my very best.
