18 January 2010 - The Future Path, Passion or Money?
Recently, I've been thinking about, what I should do when I graduate from Poly and after finishing my NS. I don't really have an aim yet actually, because I do not know what I really want still.
after choosing DChem as a choice when I was still young and dumb, I regretted my path, because its something that posed no interest to me at all, and that I'm just studying for the sake of completing the course to get my Diploma...and then when I looked at the overall results, I started thinking: "Can I actually enter NTU or NUS with my overall grades like this?"
chances are, very small to an extent its like a miracle if I could get in a course. but that aside, even if I can make choices, where should I really go? and then I started thinking again...in future when I work, do I wanna work for passion even though the pay may be low, or for the sake of higher-based salary but without interest in the profession I would be in?
its a two path thingy that I have to actually decide, for the sake of my interest, or for the sake of money do I live?
if I work for passion, can I actually make enough money to support my parents and maybe, my own family if I ever have one?
if I work without passion but for the sake of money, whats my purpose in life already then? maybe just to support a family that I may have by then?
from here on, its a dilemma, in which I really do not know how to make a choice at all. maybe its that I've not matured yet, thats why I can't make a decision like this, because I lack ambition...or its really too tough a choice to make...
afterall, I have already taken a wrong path once, in choosing something that I had no interest in.
I do not want to make a wrong choice a second time, for I would probably regret for the rest of my life. and thus the question summarises:
Just which is the right path for me to take? I only have about 2 years to think now...if I live long enough to think about it though...
