my future

Don't worry too much about the uncertaincies that lies far ahead into the future. Focus on what's happening in the present and do your best. The future will...

Perhaps...the most important thing is ur interview skills and do u have the qualities that they are looking for...

ispyyy SG

OH..... u like playing computer games ,hah???
Wa... enough liao...
U HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF U ( I dont supposed u to be ambitous)
I am seriously not being sarcastic...
Working is like playing computer games...
Some people work work for 10 yrs but still lvl 1
Some people work work for 1 yr , already lvl 99 liao
Some people work work for 10 yrs, still do not noe wat is their job
Some people work work for 1 yr, already noe the whole company inside and outside out liao...

Playing computer games, especially mulitplayer, is actually a simulation... It does not gives u the knowledge but it builds up yr character... And character is the most important thing to excel in working life... Qualifications gives u different set points .... A higher qualification allow u to be in high position for the start... tat's all

As long as, u apply what u learn in games ... u can own people liao... Be brave, have a positive working attitude, just find a job related to yr diploma and u will find tat working life is fun... *OWNAGE* muahahahaaa....

No9 SG

why give such a no-brain reply?

Welcome to the REAL world!

Since u are not that old, better go and try part time jobs and look around what you like. Than at least you will have a better idea of your future career path.

A job that stares at computer 9-5 ...sounds like admin / accounts ...but now no more 9-5 ah..hahah usually 8:30 - 6 +OT till 8.

Chris1988 SG

hmmm a rather interesting analogy. you can link computer gaming with working life. impressive ha.

admin job? for example?

ispyyy SG

Aiya... guys tat have diploma in electronic, computer and communication will most likely do sia kang job 1 lah... Very Happy

U want example ,hah???
Got plenty sia

Example 1 :
"
In games, when u die or game over, u will be eager to keep on trying as long as yr objectives gets nearer... This a plus point liao... Coz, in work, if u fail one time, u will have the drive to keep on trying as long as yr objectives gets nearer...
Company will be blessed to have people who need the least to remain driven...
"

Example 2 :
"
No1 is going to give u a textbook on how to do yr job... Or it is not going to be something like "awww... I study textbook.. I noe how to accomplish job liao"
In work, u need to learn to leech experience, learn skills tat no1 is going to teach...
In game, yr oponent wont teach u how to play the game... But he or she will keep on own u if u r newbie... However, each time u got own, u learn something from him... And this is not something tat u can find in textbook 1...
"

I am not encouraging people to play game lah... But since, u r a gamer, I present to you the brighter side of being a gamer... And the above examples tat I gave is other people's headache, stress or unhappyness... But for a gamer, it is like chicken feet... Coz, u enjoy doing it in yr few time...

muahahaaha.... LONG LIVE THE GAMERS>>

Isis SG

if i says admin job, will u really go for an admin job ? Laughing

There are plently of admin work around, with a dip you should be able to find it..

Don't know what u like to do is very normal. It takes even years to figure out what you want to do. Life is a continual adventure, gonna try out and not afraid to test water. With a diploma, you can continue to study for a degree, or try working in other fields for an experience.

In the mid-time, you can invest 5% of your time on upgrading yourself and making yourself a Recyclable asset. If you don't like your job, then it could be wise to invest 15% of your time in upgrading yourself.

What is a job? A job is a way to pay your bills and to buy things that you like. The lower level you are, the less pay you have, which in turns means you have less money to buy things that you like.

If you do not have the good grades then you have to find a job which who may not like cos without the good grades they will not offer you the job that you like.

STOP dreaming of the job that you like and start applying for the jobs that is willing to give you a chance.

I was like you once I wanted to go for my dream job, I tried and tried but due to average grades I could not get in. I had to go thru a different tougher way but it builts my character and experience.

Lightinwaltz SG

Holy sh*t.... I was also from ECC engineering...

Damn, what i learn those days were like using 486 computers and 28kps modem.. that is worse man... Which poly are u from? If can major during the 3rd year i suggest u can go for micro electronics.. where u can do wafer fabrication..

PS: I've a friend in that industry and with a poly dip he earns around 3k+ with OT... so its not too bad...

juz my thoughts Very Happy

lionsault SG

Hi Chris,

I faced the same dilemma like you 2 years back.
That time, I really do not know what I want in
life. Originally, I plan to study computer engineering
but take up chemical and biomolecular engineering
after hearing a talk about it.

Like you, I also love to play computer games until
one of my friend introduced me to network marketing.
From there, I realized that I like business, investing
and went on to read many investing and business
books.

Hence, I recommend you to widen your social circle
by making new friends, go out with them to know
about them and attend talks and seminars. From
there, it will guide you towards a general direction
of what you wanna do in your life. Very Happy

Chris1988 SG

hmmmm after reading the advices from you guys, guess all i can do now is just live life as per normal and don't think too much about the future. take things in my stride and i assume that after i ORD from NS i'm probaly supposed to just look for a job and get some working experience and try to figure out how to further improvise myself to pursue my 'dream job' supposing that i know what my 'dream job' is.

yea i placed wafer fabrication as my first choice of specialization but i got into wireless instead Sad oh wells.

One of my neighbour’s daugther did EEE in poly, but after graduation, she ended up working in a retail outlet as a supervisor in Orchard area. Before completing Poly, she was already working PT at the GValue (now Shop & Save) as a cashier and then foreman and continue to do so 6 months after graduation. She said she was not so keen on engineering work and likely to remain in retail as she found out she liked what she did as part timer very much, except for low pay. She went for an interview at Changi Airport as a custom officer, but eventually she decided for her current job in Orchard because she doesn’t like the shift work schedule

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls. -Joseph Campbell

Know what you really like and set a goal to pursue it. How much time one have to spend working in a life time when you are doing what you don't enjoy. How many of you are doing job that you really don't enjoy and have to drag yourself to work almost everyday? Some time i think Singapore education has failed.

Chris1988 SG

really thank all who contributed and those who read. appreciated the advises guess its kinda late for me to plan to study harder since my poly days are ending Sad

sometimes i really live to regret not studying hard. though my parents may have nagged at me since young to study hard and all but i just didn't listen and chose to get myself influenced by my peers. i lived to regret my actions.

anyway looking at the brighter side of things at least i know what i've done wrong and guess i'll be taking a different path from now. i'll go through my attachment and see how it goes. hopefully i'll be posted to do some office job as i really really wanna have a feel of how is office life like.

(human) SG

Have you heard employers who don’t even look at your cert and then employ the person? My friend attended his interview and his boss never even ask to look at his cert, and next he was recruited. I had that experience too, therefore i would say good grades is not the measure of everything.

inextremo SG

i dont think there's any design job that has relaxed pace. everyone i know in design, from interior to architecture, graphic and fashion, all damn damn damn stress. everytime work over time, go home also do work. many many datelines.

Chris1988 SG

ahhhh just what i would like to hear. at least there's someone to confirm with me about qualification issues. what was the job scope about by the way?

how's the fashion industry like in singapore? i mean besides being stressful. any prospect?

angel7030 SG
