I am kindof lost in my life. I have a poly diploma in marine
engineering which I did not use it to apply for job, end up I am
currenly doing a totally different industry. I have had my other
dreams which is music. I learnt violin and take theory course
hoping to become a music teacher someday and that is my backup plan
in case I lost my job unexpectedly. I ‘struggle’ and managed to
pass up to grade 6 for my practical and grade 5 for my theory. I am
in my thirties and am not young anymore. I realise that I am always
wasting my money and time by not practising my instrument and so my
learning does not improve. I decided to take a break to save my
money. I looked around and see people taking part time degree in
SIM and I really envy them. I suddenly feel
that why I just cannot be like other people. In the end, they have
a degree but me? I am just like going round and round and
eventually still at the same place. I took up accounting before
only to give up after a few lessons.
I see my sister who has signed up for design course, which is her
desired field of study and I am kindof jealous as I used to be a
confident and thought I have paved my way for the future for
myself. My sister told me to learn while still young and to learn
what you really are interested in. This I already know long time
ago. haizz. But somehow, now, I am kindof lost, lost interest in
many things. I have the urge to take up courses with certifications
but where should I go? I am sick of taking accounting again. I want
a degree but I have not saved enough money yet. Really lost. What
should I do?
Do not take accountancy. Even after you graduate, it takes like 10 years before you reach managerial stage.
Why don't you go into marketing? This is a sure way of succeeding. You don't need to be highly qualified to be successful, you just need to be good at promoting stuff. I have a friend who failed his accountancy degree, but ventured into marketing line. Today, he is more successful than any of us, he drives a BMW and earns 20k + a month.
