taking my chances.
Juz s the clock struck 12 noon, i made the dcsion - I took up the offer.
It must b fate i cudnt rch Akemi san at JAC to get more details abt the travel agency job. After a gd long tok wif my brother in the morning b4 i made my dcsion, he managed to sway my inclination (he can consider changing profession to sales or stg...). It is true dat i may not like the job dat much but at least i'm gettg paid n plus the xperience gained will defnly b invaluable. Who noes? Mayb it cud aid mi in gettg my dream job later on...I shud probly oso b grateful i got a job offer at 1st shot.
The GM has a point in saying "If u dun hv passion n interest in dis line, den pls dun join us." I was pinky close in rejectg the offer bcoz dat sentence kept ringing in my head. I've even tot thru the contents in the "Thank U" card i was to send later on after rejectg the offer. It'll probly b along the lines of "Thank u for all the advices u have given mi, cudnt agree wif u more. Dat is oso y i wudnt b joining the big family." Eliz's advices r interesting, she said stg like it dpends on how u pysch urslf to like the job, i like her idea but I firmly bliv dat life will b more meaningful oni if u hv natural passion in wad u do for a living. I told my brother dat if i merely wanted money n xperience, i cud hv gotten a job hoots ago, dun reli hv to wait till now.
It is alwaz a gd thing to pursue ur aspirations but stimes the bank account reli matters more. Wif peanuts in my bank account, pursuing a dream will b a luxury. At the risk of sounding totally money-faced, say even if i get my dream job now, but i get meagre remuneration, i probly wudnt take it either. At the end of the day, money still matters. In fact, it matters to a v large extent. For anytg, i wudnt mind slping in the office if i get 3 times more salary...haha.....*cashier sounds ringing in the bckgrd...Kchnnng! Kchnnng!*
I'll b starting wrk on Monday, reporting at 9 am, Int'l Plaza...so for those in the vicinity, lets mit up for lunches ok? Evidently, i hven mastered the art of eatg alone in public yet...Heh.
