Career path crisis, again.
SIA flight stewardess vs. DBS corporate drone?
Now I CANNOT stop thinking about it. There are just too many 'what if's and 'maybe's involved in this decision. And well, the best part is, I haven't even gone for the recruitment for the former so I have no idea if I can make it through or not. Though, ever since I heard they might be holding one in December I have been... thinking.
The latter has many perks - pretty good pay and amount of leave, but I am not sure I want to be stuck in an office Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 6.30pm, staring at a computer all day and at the boss's the beck and call, being a good little assistant and being organized in keeping track of things. Well that won't be for that long, but still. Although... there is something to be said about having a nice stable job, having a regular routine of meeting friends for lunch and going for dance practices, exercise sessions and dinners after work.
I guess though, the former has been something I have been considering and thinking about for the longest time but wasn't that serious about because there were no actual recruitments happening - the lure of travel, of excitement/non-routineness, of a fairly good pay, of smiling and serving people food (okay I know I'm weird but I actually do like that), is quite enticing. I guess I always figured I could go back to the corporate world after that, but then it'll probably be really difficult.
The travel part is a big plus, but people keep telling me I can find a corporate job which allows me to do that, and I don't even have to serve people for that. But I don't know. When you work for a company, you're inevitably doing someone's bidding, aren't you.
Ohwell. We're at a cul-de-sac here.

A year ago I was...
Happy and carefree and gallivanting around Europe, drinking giant beers at Oktoberfest and having the time of my life. And seemingly, everything, even boy problems, were sort of going well.
This year I am...
At a desk, typing away and bored to tears, with my boyfriend farrrr away in Europe (well, the UK really, but sometimes is considered part of it anyway).
And getting pressured in a subtle way by my mum, to go to Europe on one of those silly packaged tours - right about when he is coming back here to see me. Great.
Boo :(
But funny how fast time passes sometimes... I'm going to be 24 in a couple of months. Meaning I'm almost in my mid-twenties - and it doesn't seem so long ago that I was just 16.
Sometimes I think too much... maybe just gotta go with the flow and smell the roses etc. But I guess I'm getting kind of tired of not having a direction or a passion in life.
But well, it's late, and I have to work tomorrow, so shall continue this pondering another time.
