The Path Ahead
It's so true when I was told that life will suddenly be so aimless now that internship is over. Somehow or rather I still wake up around 8am everyday, and am still not used to the break in routine I was so used to for the past 2 months.
Suddenly, having been exposed to the 'working world', I'm starting to think much more about my future. I have always taken a 'one step at a time' and 'see how' approach to this matter, but I guess the internship has got me thinking ahead. What job? Which sector? What factors I really need to consider? What do I really want?
Having NEVER done well in my academics before, and having only improved my grades after my first sem in NUS, I have only just realised that I missed out on quite a few scholarship opportunities. You see, it has never crossed my mind that the words 'scholarships' and 'I' ever came together, but now that my results have miraculously started to improve, I started to realise that the two could now possibly come together. But then again, I don't have many semesters left, so ... yup a little too late perhaps. Oh well, be contented with what I have.
Speaking about the future, one thing's for sure though, is that I wouldn't want to be an insurance agent. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against them, and I understand that insurance agents hold proper jobs too. But I guess its just not my type. You see, my army friend just messaged me out of nowhere after not speaking to him for almost 2-3 years. Not that I was doubting him or anything, but he took a very indirect approach, and finally after 15 minutes he identified himself as an insurance agent. To be honest, I wasn't scared at first, until he carried on and onabout this dealings, and then I saw his real agenda in messaging me. I sure don't want to be someone in his shoes, and sure do not want my friends to feel like how I just felt.
