And I have a talent on it. However, engineering college is the best in my country, thus I stick with it. And for my parents too....
Was I not patient enough? Really, what is fate? My mother told me that everybody loves art and entertainment, but my friends still got good grades, is that reasonable?
Half of the suggestions told me to walk on the way I like, and half of them disapprove. Sigh, I'm in a bad shape, right now...
People go through stages. Part of these stages are our work life. Most of us start with a job. a job is not necessarily an enjoyment it is a necessity to provide for the needs of life. As we become more secure we begin to branch out into our actual vocations and callings. With patience we then seek the means of starting a professional life in our calling/vocation after we become secure in that and the amount of a paycheck is of little concern we are free to explore our avocations, which is work we truly love and would even do for free.
All things come in stages, some people seem to pass through them faster then others, but the reality is one person's job my be another person's avocation and one person's avocation may be another person's job.
do not envy the work you see another doing, you may love what they are doing and wish you were doing the same, yet that person may hate it and is doing it out of necessity.
We all will spend nearly one third of our lives in our workplace, we will live more of our lives in our place of employment then we will have lived in the pleasure and security of our parent's home. We may not always love our job, but we can strive to love our workplace either for the companionship of friends or for the security it brings into our lives.
Our avocations will come at the best possible times for us.
While it is very poor practice to skip from job to job, always keep in mind you are not married to any work, your loyalty only requires you do and honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Your agreement or contact only needs to b fulfilled to the extent you agreed to. Fulfill that first and seek to fulfill your dreams in a manner that does not violate your contract.
