Well each has its own good and bad. As long as you like what you're doing, and it puts food on the table, its okay. Just don't be like my friend's cousin who hasn't even gotten anything resembling a job after his graduation and is still dependent on handouts from his folks. His graduation was 6 years ago btw. Shocked

Fatum SG

nope ... no longer ....

I've grad already ... it seems wrong to take more from them now ... Confused

av98m SG

I'm a bit disturbed that you know that. Surprised

Are you on their mailing list or something? Shocked

choco B SG

Den ish OK! No worries it takes time to feel around before deciding what to do

Fatum SG

heh .... Twisted Evil

I look at ads from the other cities .... or find some fixer upper locally ....

change a bunch of simple parts, give it a vaccum, wash and wax ..... throw in a car perfume bottle .... and put up an add .....

last transaction was a dodge spirit .... cleared around C$440 .... Mr. Green

Fatum SG

oh well ... I dunno ... everyone else seems to be so kiasu in rushing into a job ... I sometimes feel I'm off to a slow start ...

but i really wanted to catch my breathe first, especially after the hell I went through to get this piece of parchment .... Neutral

Uhm @[email protected]

It was a mis-directed site, you know.
I typed in "real mall" ... was looking for real GOOD malls to go to... and then dunnohowcome mis-spelled, mis-directed...... @[email protected] Yup.

choco B SG

How long has it been since graduation? A month or less? Confused Think short time only right ?

No worries really... take your time like AV said you'll be working the rest of your life.

Fatum SG

yeah, not that long a time ....

folks are not very happy I turned down that job I wrote about in the other thread ... but how can i tell them that it's because I want to come home ? ... that I want to be around them more ? ... Confused

av98m SG

Just so you know, I took 6 months to become gainfully employed. The job market was shit. Mr. Green

choco B SG

Uhm, maybe if you just told them that straight, that you'll look for a job when you're back home, they'd understand? I'm sure they want their boy back .....

Fatum SG

wah piang ...

then I should save up for at least 6 months of sustenance moolah lah ? ... Shocked

av98m SG

I was doing some freelance work during the 6 months that paid OK ($500 to $700 per month, enough for me to live on). So it was actually an enjoyable period of my life. Had a lot of bumming around time. Razz

Fatum SG

I dunno ... you know how some Singaporean parents think eh ... they'll tell their kids to head out to greener pastures somewhere else and get out of the pressure cooker ... but they all want their kids close by and all ....

but I think i've seen that it's all relative ... as much as I love it here, I've always felt like a transient ... and there's the uglier side of things as well ...

my younger sis is an air-stewardess who's never home because of her job ... younger bro is a poly kid partying hard and long ... phone convos back home always last a long time, cos I know they miss me and need someone to talk to ...

oh well ... I dunno ... tough choices ahead ...

elindra SG

Took me about 4 months to get a job
Job market was shit too
1st month I basically rotted at home
Got a contract job doing data entry which drove me nuts after that
Went for job interviews and not accepting jobs coz the pay was crap
Economy just crashed and they were offering jobs for grads at starting pay of $1400 Crying or Very sad

Fatum SG

wah piang ....

what's the job market like now ? ....

you guys are scaring me ... Shocked
