Time is ticking away and the reality of me joining the workforce is growing with each passing week. But first, I have to get myself employed which is not easy but not too difficult by today’s standards. It’s oft said that beggars can’t be choosers, but I really don’t want to find myself having to drag my soulless body out of bed to mindless work everyday.
Eventually, most people give up trying for their ideal job and settle for something less because not everyone’s gonna have their cake and eat it too. In all honesty, sometimes it feels like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. And more often than not, I’ve found myself in such a quandary. But like what I’ve done in yesteryear, I’ll put aspirations on hold for now – not because I lack the courage to chase my dreams but for the fear of wasted opportunities.
In about three months’ time, I’ll be a university graduate and gone will be the times when can I put down ‘Student’ in the Occupation field; whether it will reflect ‘Unemployed’ or something else will depend very much on what I do today. Will I get a job before I graduate? I guess only time will tell. In the meantime, I better be working hard to increase my marketability.
