Hi guys,
I write here because i can think of no other place that i can
seek advice, and would gladly appreciate any.
I am 27 years old, male, and graduated last year from an
Australian university after spending 2 years plus there. Have been
working in a bank as a relationship manager (aka salesman) ever
since.
After I graduated, i found that jobs were limited (i graduated
in finance) and people didn't take my degree seriously. I was
offered jobs pertaining to insurance and sales, which is why i am
at my current job (I think i sent out over 100 resumes). Don't get
me wrong. I like my job, i consider myself more of a right brained
person that possesses (hopefully) good EQ.
The thing is, I'm not happy with my life. I think i deserve
better. I'm working 12-13 hours a day, not earning enough, and the
future looks bleak. Living in a HDB flat while slogging away for
the next 30 years trying to pay off the housing loan, while
servicing car instalments and yet desperately saving for my
children's education doesn't really appeal to me. Just like any
other man, I look forward to providing my future wife with a
comfortable lifestyle, and to be able to send my kids overseas to
study.
I am thinking of moving back to Australia, to Sydney, maybe back
to Brisbane (where i studied). I think Australia might be able to
offer me what I want. My only concern is not being able to find a
job when i get there. i dont mind working in Coles/Woolworths till
i get a job.
What do you guys think? I think i am gutless for not being brave
enough to seek a better future for myself, and at the same time, i
can't bear to leave everything behind. my family, friends ... etc
etc ... (FOOD..).. etc.
I would be glad to hear any thoughts ... thanks.
