Career Crossroads?
I wonder if every Millenials here have this crossroads in life? Yung ang dami mong tanong sa sarili mo, for example:
1. Is this the career for me? 2. Am i happy here or pinagtiyatiyagaan ko lang because of a good pay? you know travel goals kasi tayo mamshies or luho goals! 3. Worth it ba tong career at stable na ba to hanggang sa magretire ako? Pero matagal pa yun. Si future self ko na bahala dun 4. Gusto ng parents ko dito sa indutry na ito pero iba ang sinisigaw ng puso ko. 5. Ayoko na kaso andito pa si crush charot! Landi goals muna! 6. Money > Career besh! dami kong binubuhay mga 10
There are a lot of questions. Kung pwede lang bumalik nung Highschool noh? Aral at pasulyap sulyap lang kay crush, LANDI PA MORE HAHA. Anyway, I, myself have these thoughts (btw, i’m a millenial as well). I have these pressure from my fam about the industry that they want for me. At first i tried it but in the end that’s a NOPE for me.
Ma-pride ang lola mo e so i decided to QUIT. There’s this idle months and years that made me feel lost, incompetent and walang kwenta. I even shut down my fam & friends because i don’t know what to do in my life. (YES SUPER DEPRESSED SINCE SOME OF MY CLASSMATES FROM COLLEGE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FIRST RUN AGAD AND IWAS LIKE WAAAATTHEEEEEHELL PALAM AND DI MASAYA HUHUBELS)
To make this post like an uplifitng one to my kapwa millenials there and everywhere..DI KAYO NAGIISA. There will be a time na may doubt kayo about sa career niyo. You will feel incompetent kasi yung friend mo successful na ikaw wala paring ganap sa work or siya may house and car na, ikaw cellphone lang kaya mong bilhin etc. but always remember, LIFE IS NOT GAME. walang time limit sa pagiging successful. Yung iba nga diba matanda na saka pa naging successful, parang pagibig. Wag magmadali, enjoy the run. treat it as a stepping stone for a better you!
If you feel pressured, UNWIND. TRAVEL MAMSH OR EAT IT OUT. ROOFTOP BARS NOT WALWAL PARTIES LIKE NUNG COLLEGE (ganun na siguro pag tumatanda HAHA.) Talk to them and always choose what makes you HAPPY at the end, ikaw magbebenefit hindi sila, its YOUR LIFE! kung may sabihin sila go lang mamsh di na uso magpakamartyr di gaya nung Highschool, have some backbone and laveeern! make them proud, make them believe na worth it ang change ng career okay?
Based lang to sa naexperience ko and sa mga friends kong dumaan na sa ganito. sino sino pa ba magtutulungan diba? Osiyaaa hanggang dito na muna, next time ulit kung may pinaglalaban ako a! mwah
