Guess to me, its a matter of finding a job tt u like, more than
for the money.
If u develop passion for ur job, even if u are a salaried
employee, u will go far, as ur passion differentiates u from the
rest of the crowd.
F rom there on, u can have 2
choices . The way i see it is tt 1. u can climb the corporate
ladder, since u should be outstanding in ur work, be it any field
as long as u have passion for the job. However, sometimes
situations doesn't help u, for instance, a boss tt simply wants u
to die. However much of passion is also useless. But hey, u can
then jump to other coys, cos if u are tt outstanding, other pple
will headhunt u.
2. U can obtain watever information u need from ur job, then
come out and start ur own coy. Another thing tt i noticed is tt, as
long as u like ur job, eg. Teaching, u can still do part-time
related to the job, (Tution) which in a sense is another form of
business.
Y i focused so much on a job tt u will like is cos, it makes a
world of a difference when u smile and go to work and when u curse
and swear when u go to work. Be it ur own business or working for
others. The productivity level is different, the joy derived is
different, ur energy level will also be different. U will
accomplish more using lesser energy. Even if let's say u wanna
enter into stocks, its the same case. If u like stocks, u will tend
to do better in it. Cos to me, stocks is like a part-time job.
Dun complain tt aiya, $2k for a grad is low. If u choose to NOT
depend on ur dad, the qn i will post to u is, where will u get ur
start-up captial if u refuse to work for others? Unless u wanna try
something with low start-up, like internet related business. Main
issue, is juz do something u like, the money will follow.
And to me, its not how u save tt will make u rich, its how u
spend money.
