yeah, back when I first graduated, my ambition was to be in a rock band and tour the world.
needless to say I’m a working stiff now.

good luck in finding yourself. enjoy the ride!

Anyway, good luck! And welcome back!

Wow, yes, I know what you mean about transitioning from education to career. I’m in the middle of that transition too. Wow, but good luck with your career choice in Civil Service! I know what you mean about not having goals and not knowing exactly what you want to do. I’ve had moments like that, but when I really think about it, I pretty much know which way I want to go in my career choice. But we’ll see if that ends up that way, though.

Anyways, aww, that’s a nice picture of you, Ivy! =)

You’ve distinguished between career and a part time job so correctly and clearly I couldn’t stop nodding (although I knew you couldn’t see my face, I could not agree more with what you’ve said thanks!)… career to me is more like a lifelong dedication to a specific field of study or work, and the motivation behind you is not solely driven by monetary gains (for part time job, I treat it like a gold mine instead of a hobby that earns me money).

After spending 8 months awake from academic work and school, I still couldn’t find myself. I would partly put the blame on my laziness because I wasn’t really searching in vain for that true self and the Shadow behind the facade, but also partly because I am afraid of acknowledging a different “inner me” exists. I have behaviors untypical of a guy – my mood fluctuates and I seem to be more emotional that others. I care about people around me more, and willing to sacrifice personal comfort to make others’ life better. I hope I don’t sound being philanthropic or boasting, but that’s really what I feel about others. After going through so many obstacles in college life, I realised that I’m bad at socialising, unwilling to meet new people and prefer to stick around with that few friends. If they move on with their own lives, I’ll be so doomed.

I never knew what I wanted in life – I don’t have a goal and I always hope that I can get parts of it figured out as I move along with life. In fact, I didn’t pick my university courses with a logical, rational mind – I pick the one that I feel will make me less regretful of it when I’m done with it.

I hope it’s not just me that feels this way anyway, see you around! p/s: thanks for adding me on Plurk!

to be honest i still have no idea what i want to do with my life. and like you, i’m a jack of all trades but master of none.

the path i’m on is full of mirages; one minute i think im heading “there”, the next i find myself looking at a totally different new landscape. sometimes it’s frustrating, but i guess it can be exciting too, depending on the mood i’m in. ha.

hopefully you’ll find yourself soon enough.

good luck!
