so true ... i got a bunch of frens n relatives , grads n joined big4 ... i'd heard them complain n frustrated for the past 1 year but now they r stil thr ...

for me , im unable to grad , my once dream job in big4 is crushed , im sad .... im depressed when i failed to grad , everyone around me seems like so successful , they work around the clock , their rejection on yum cha sessions make me feel im inferior , make me feel im useless coz i had so much time compare to them .... even some of the frens tot hanging out with me is a waste of time .....

but now , im glad its a blessing in disguise , they may haf a glamorous work , in every gathering they'll get the praises ( if they do attend ) , but wat i got is time , something which enable me to hang out with my frens , family n most importantly my love one , i haf the time to go for a annual vacation , i got the time to sit down n relax whenever i had enuf of work , .... but my earning nowadays doesnt seems to less than them .... i stil work hard as they do in different perspective , but i can slow down , can they?

yup ... totally agree ... but mostly its influence from parents / relatives ....

most parents n relatives aka older generation ( including mine ) will always tot that having a popular job is a guaranteed success ... when i failed to get my degree i worked as sales b4 .... n during CNY everyone juz ask me wats my job , i told them sales they'll either say "oh,sell wat?" or "thts y la , lazy so din get degree" .... while other cousins , their parents will gather up n start boasting "wah,my son now auditor" , "my daughter goin to b dentist" , " my son engineer in a very big company"

so is it being a sales a humiliation? well at least to these ppl perspective , a job without a popular title n big company attach together means u r either low paid or u haf no bright prospect ... even once i got an offer to b officer in a mnc , pay is like 2-3k , but all ppl say no future n condemn me kaw-kaw ...
