Yeah, so now, what should i do?? I guess after all i’m still a spoilt kid who refused to grow up. I really have no intention of finding something to do yet and this i mean a decent job. All these while, all i know was by studying hard, graduate from university and your future will be promised. This sounds good but i came to realise that the world we live in weren’t that promising at all. At this point, i do admit that i have more than once doubted the step of entering graduate school. Looking at how most of my friends have already started working, have their own social circle with an exciting life (at least this is how it looks like in Facebook, huh), i felt that i was left behind, very far behind. I was never ahead of others nor on par with them, now i do feel terrible.
People will say, you have to start somewhere without being too choosy, but the questions are where, when, what and etc. I never knew i could be so undecided when it comes to such an important thing. So what should i do now? Or at least i should start thinking, where should i go? Which area i want to be in? Law or Diplomacy? Work or further study?
Since young, i was never the top candidate in terms on holding responsibilities. I was never given a post where commitment was needed. In college, what more to say, i come i go, sometimes people cares, most of the time they just choose to ignore it. In graduate school, i decided that i do not want to be attached to anything and just enjoy most probably my last year of student life. I have no one in heart that i need to take consideration of when doing things, and my family are all still healthy enough to do what they want without having to trouble me. So when it comes to long term commitment, rather than feeling the pressure, i felt really scared about it.
I think there’s probably only two options for me. Work as a freelance by taking up projects or cases time to time, but have to bear with all the naggings from my parents for not wanting to settle down with a decent job. The other option is just find a decent job and better still if they force me to sign a long term contract so that i have no choice but to stick with it for the time being. Option one suits me but where to find such job? And how to do it to the extent that i have the mean to support myself so to get rid of more naggings. Option two is most probably the easier way at the moment but to bring my heart to this point will never be easy unless i get to find something i like to do. But only God knows how long i will stay still until i change my mind again!
Well, maybe i think too much but i still can’t imagine if i can ever dive into a sector and face the consequences of complaining over the same damn file or employer that i have to face everyday and that would be good if it happens only months or at least weeks after i join.
Guess my career path will never be as easy as others!

If I am not mistaken, you are feeling that you don’t really wanna to take a ‘real’ job. As you will have to wake up every morning to dress nicely just to go to office. Everyday from 7 to 5.
But your parents are already nagging you. It’s normal because they cared for you. They bring you up to make you a success person. And by taking a decent job, you will get regular payment which tells them that you will survive without them.
Why don’t you find something you like to do? Do you have a hobbies or something? You could make this hobbies into a profit thing. Or maybe you have some special skills that you can share to other by providing teaching sessions. Or maybe you love fashion, you can try your luck selling them online.
If you don’t have any hobbies or skills, then eventually you will have to find a ‘real’ job. But it’s better that you figure out what you like to do first. Because as a matter of fact, you can see many people having decent job in the office but complain everyday (stress, many tasks,etc). Many were desperate for it, now they have it but they still complain. So don’t be one ok, find out what you like to do.
Now, if you don’t have any hobbies/skills and don’t want to settle for a ‘real’ job, let me add another option for you.
problem solved.
Option three: Get married
