choices are very important in life.... like duh right?

sometimes choosing the best thing might not be the best choice. i think knowing you want is ultimately the driving factor to make a choice.

so what do i want in life? i think pertaining to family life, i got it pretty sorted... probably because i spent a lot of time deciding what i really wanted in family.

but in terms of my job... i'm just slugging away. i just can't understand how people can do the same things for years and years. i think you must really have a passion for something to be able to do it for life after you end your tertiary education.

i thought i knew what i wanted. i guess i never really thought it through hard enough while i was schooling. i was short sighted. during my schooling days, i thought that the end of university is my end goal... only to get a rude shock that the end of uni was just the beginning.

i knew what i wanted to do when i was 7... up till when i was 17... i've always wanted to be a doctor. really really wanted to be one. even now. but during my 'o's, i didn't make the cut to get into my prefered jc. ended up somewhere else. i guess that devastated me. then it went down all the way for the next few years until Jesus found me.

after that, i just decided that money was enough to keep me going in any job. i was wrong. the basis for what you want as a career should never be based on how much you would be renumerated.

if i could turn back time, i would have chosen pharmacy. i was deciding between computer science and pharmacy. but because, being young and gullible, i decided that computer science would be a better choice since the salaries for the jobs are better.

well, pharmacy is probably 2nd best after doctor. nursing is not too bad too... just that you get your hands that little bit dirtier.

i know this conversion course for professionals to be nurses.

should i do it? will i like it? any comments from anyone?

sigh... pay VS dream... being a nurse will definitely slash my salary to less than half my current.

more on choices on my next post....
