Mood Dampened...
I just told my eldest bro abt my decision on the job offer.
The 1st thing he said to me was : U are so stupid.
Bro: why go be site engr?
Bro: dont look at the money
Bro: site engr is no good
Bro: u will mix with all the indians
Bro: Site Engr will not bring u far.
Bro: U will get sick n tired.
Bro: and somemore small contractor
Bro: slowly find, no-one is rushing u
I was disappointed. Instead of being encouraging, he commented such things.
Yes, both of us may hold a Civil engineering degree n he is much more experienced, but tt does not mean he can say such things abt my decision. He may feel tt being a site engr has no future and wont learn much, consultancy firms are better n blah. But wat makes him think tt i am not up to become a site engr?? So females cant be site engr issit? SO wat my company is just a small contractor firm? So wat i needa mix with the indians? This is still a PROPER DECENT job!!
My industrial attachment is also in a construction firm too, but i've gained valuable knowledge and experiences. I even went into tunnels and touch n feel a TBM which i think most ppl wont even get to see one in their entire lives!
I feel that wat matters most is whether u are willing to learn in the job n whether the work environment is good or not.
True, No-one is rushing me to find a job, but how long more can i idle at home and rely on my parents? In May, the new batch of undergrads will grad soon n the competition will get so much stiffer, n does he even read the news? Nowadays, the news are always reporting abt the bad economy, reccession, rising unemployment rate, company retrenching n etc... Government is also advising people to work for SMEs first.
Even if he thinks that i had make the wrong decision, he should not say tt I am stupid. He should at least respect my decision. Being an older brother, he should be more encouraging. I kinda regretted telling him abt my job offer. But becoz he is my brother n is working in overseas now, i feel tt i should at least update him abt what is happening at home. But instead, what is get in return is his mocking.
I dont intend to work as a site engr forever, but if i never try, i wont not know wat i really want for my career. Maybe after this job, i may realise tt i am not cut out to be an engineer, but at least i gave it a try. The 1st few years of ur working life is like try and error and gaining experiences till u find the dream job. So how can he call me STUPID?
Now, i am more certain of my decicion. Even if the job is unsuitable, i will take it as a challenge. It will still be a good learning experience for me and i hv nothing to lose, only something to gain.
So, This is not Stupid!

I'm might get H.I.R.E.D!!!!
I am pretty elated today....
All thanks to my fren, I might be able to get a job soon - SITE ENGINEER!!!
In fact, I am very excited abt this job, and i've not find any concerns or reasons to reject this offer.
Though I might not be able to wear nicely to work everyday or don the suits and heels, but i thot it would be quite cool to be a site engineer. Haha..
I know i've been contradicting again, coz I did mention a few times before that i dont wanna be an enginneer, let alone be a Site engineer. But at such bad times, i should not be choosy or picky anymore (someone commented tt I am choosy, which I admitted - I am).
So i should Not be choosy now especially when most of the people are begging for jobs.... Right??
Just work for a year or two to gain some experiences, maybe i might like what i am doing and will hv a clearer picture of what i want for my career path.
I hope I will be decisive this time and be faithful to my decision. =)
P/S: will update again whether I really did take up this job or not, coz i hv one week to consider! hee...

So what colour? Light Pink or Black???
