It may be my life, but is it now or never?

Career Days are actually productive after all. And I'm not talking about about the bunch of freebies, which include a Snakes-and-Ladders type of board game provided by the Navy that is constructed to irritate the hell out of you unless you use 3 or more dice.

Instead of narrowing my education/employment choices, I now have more. Tell me if that's a good thing.

1. Journalist/News Anchor

Looks repsectable and glamorous, IMO at least. I admire the most successful of these journalists and news anchor for their spirit,determination, depth of analysis and poise. And if you make high enough, you get to go abroad to cover news (important meetings perhaps) in faraway lands, hopefully with a good hotel stay thrown in. Unfortunately, this means I will have to rid off my self as a procastinator, and be able to analyze many issues in depth. Sounds like a tall order.

2. GIC

Impressive occupation to most people, I believe. Offers do sound lucrative, but dwelling into accountancy and finance isn't really my cup of tea.

3. Translator/Interpreter

Sounds good, only that I have hardly been talking in Mandarin, despite going for CSC classes.


Courses that may interest me

1. Journalism/Mass Media

2. Applied Math - Career offers are aplenty, not sure how well they pay.


So it all comes down to interest vs salary/glamor. This is gonna be a hard one.
