Well, if you think having a cushiony office job is boring, you
can consider those uniform vocations. I did suggest these to my
dearest and gorgeous tet, but she says she doesn't look good in
uniform! DUH!!! :p
Jokes aside, if you mind physical stuff, being in the unform
services can be quite rewarding and it is one place where you can
easily achieved your self satisfaction goals. Simply put, to me,
there is no greater joy than nailing a criminal or cracking an
extremely tough case.
Secondly, you can consider taking a sabbatical. Go for a short
vacation, to places you have always wish to go, come back and
plough head on into your new academic life. Trust me, people are
more apt to study when they reach a certain age and have seen what
the market has to offer them. And one more thing, I just loves our
tertiary system here, especially the Arts in NUS. :p Damm relax
man!!! Do consider it, you be surprised at the zeal you show
towards your new course, more so if it's something you liked.
Everybody aspired to break out of their monotonous life, few
achieved. What you have, dear churra, is youth. You are still young
and by all means chase after the elusive dream...rather than regret
it few yars down the road when you are all stagnant and tied down
by committments. Give my views a thought, as my unit loves to say,
the sky's the limit and time and tides wait for no man, even for a
pretty lady like you
