After a long debate inside my mind, I have finally taken a stand to quit the job I have been working for almost four years. And quitting a job is even harder than it looks like. I seriously had to ask some people's opinion about it.
I guess this is the dilemma for me. I decided to have my full time schedule working on my fortune. At first I thought I still could manage, (doing it part time).. but I guess it's really the smartest decision to do right now...
Well, it is very nice to have a job, especially when you feel trusted by your co-workers and Manager. It is also great to make my own money, to have this independent life (fyi, life is so different way back when I was still minor). Getting hired is just a proof that you are good enough to compete in this struggling workforce. The offer looks so yummy to me that I could not refuse the first time. However, after the time I took to think about it, these are some points that came across me.
1. It opens up more chances.
Being comfortable with the job you are doing is a good thing. But when there are always bigger chances out there if we reach out. Although it looks promising, my heart desires for more challenge, for doing new things with new people in the new workplace. That's what I am aiming for the next work terms. I wish that my experiences would somehow shift the old me to be someone valuable.
2. Age does matters.
All I want is a job where I can enjoy and have fun with my co-workers (not with the old once, but I have learn a lot from them... promise!.. not that bad ^_^ )
3. No social life.
Trust me, I'm not a social butterfly. I don't go to parties. Only, I get so busy that I have no time hanging out with my friends. I get tired so easily that I fall asleep at 11 pm each night, without even going to Facebook or update this blog. I just can't imagine my life filled up with only school and work. I do need some days off, too :)
4. Money is not everything.
When I asked my father for advice, he told me that money can be so tempting but it's not what I'm aiming for now. I do admit that it feels so nice to earn money on my own, because it gives me independence for a while. Maybe one of the reasons why I chose to take the offer was money. However, I am more than willing to pay the price if it's requires quality time with my family.
It gets really exciting to seek new opportunities. Meanwhile, I wish I will do great in the BI quadrant.
I know I have my God - my constant companion. :)
