the devil wears prada... and it might be changing my life...
after watching it i began to review my choice to study as a materials engineer in the university. nano-tech? semi-conductors? polymers? thin films? woo...and i thought those things are gonna be popular in the future. but hey... an engineer? how much am i gonna earn? 3K starting pay, if i'm lucky? and all the way up to some senior engineer or project manager with a pay slip of 5k? man, that's pathetic! all these years what have we been through? 6 long, albeit mostly enjoyable, years of primary education. 4 years of secondary education. 2 years of make-it-or-break-it pre-tertiary education. 2 years of dreaded and fruitless national service (and i mean it). and then 4 years of tertiary education before we actually begin our work as a "capable working adult". hmm...let's see...18 years of freaking torment (and that's not including kindergarten or nursery!) and what am i gonna earn? a freaking 5k at the end of the road?! i'm not gonna get stucked there!
and it finally got to me that my true intention, my true goal in life, is actually ... to earn money! honestly speaking, i wanted to be a doctor not because i wanna save lives, goddammit, it's for the money! damn i'm despicable, but so what? if someone offers me a job to sweep the floor with a 5 digit pay slip then for goodness sake you've got yourself a very hardworking sweeper! i'm not saying that engineering is a bad job or what, but in order to earn more, i can't be stuck with quantum theory and structure of atoms and what not, can i?
interest and career couldn't much collide, at least for me. i'm rethinking my choices now. BBA, maybe. but rechoosing in the year of the dragon is kinda...lame. and i was so blind that now then i realised my goal, and now then i realised there is actually a engine+business double degree!! damn i'm going for that one, and against all odds! i don't care whether i'll be sleeping in the library, or i'll me mugging my arse off, damn i'm gonna go for that one!
yes, a degree can't actually guarantee good-paying jobs (that course gives TWO, btw), but it provides you with the necessary skills. and yes, i'm crazy over money, but so what? you're not me, you don't understand. in order to gain something, sacrifices have to be made, isn't it?
