Work today is so stressful. Even if you have a job,
the work is almost pushing you to the walls.

Many organizations are reducing budget
on the staffs hiring. Thus there are little resources
to do the pile of jobs.

- Are you grueling at your 9-5 job ?
- Are you facing tons of unfinished backlogs?
- What about facing an unreasonable boss that keeps nagging at you

If there is any error in the task, boss will nag at you. Boss gives you deadline to finish your assignment. While you are trying to excel in your work and yet your boss says this is your basic requirement to fulfill the job. ….OMG

After being employed for so long, I want to tell my friends that I am getting tired to work for people. It does not pay to work so hard and yet your effort is unappreciated. I would rather work for something and yet pays me well like my hobbies, things I like.

At least it provides me a route to excel in my work. If I can excel in my hobbies, like communication, project management. I can become a consultant and share my experiences with others. Wont it be great that I can get paid if I am doing through my hobbies.

Recently, I met a young lady.  She is at the cross-road of choosing her career now. She studies psychology, works in marketing and like to mix around with people. She is pondering what to focus on her career: To dwell into marketing, her psychology area or a job that allows her to mix around. Because she is young while we spoke, she has many choices to choose, thus is now in dilemma stage.

My lessons learned is do something that you like. Anything that interests you. Your interest and the pleasure to stay in a job will push you further if you like it. It will be a drag if you are working on something that you do not like.

I was informed that a person’s will go through a minimum of 2 big career moves. You will do something that you like after graduation. Example, working in I.T.  You will work your way up to the highest title you can achieve. And once you have sufficient experiences, say after 15-20 years, you will be changing to another career. I am not referring to jobs. You may change jobs within that 15-20 years within the same career.

However, after 20 years of experiences, you may want to change your career path to other industry, say consulting. Using your 1st career experience to enhance on your 2nd career path.

On the nutshell, you got to like what your work. It will be so much better if it is your hobbies. Say a computer geek to a consultant. Learning to assemble parts to form a workable computer. Work in I.T. area till you can share your experience to others.
