It's only when you spend a week with corporate-minded career-driven people that you start thinking about the practicality of your ideals.
i THINK i want to save the world.
i THINK i want to have money.
i THINK there's a way that you can reconcile both those things. Ashoka is a very inspiring source.
However, it's also depressing to think that I am nowhere in the scheme of things.
So, once again it begs the question: Does one need the skills, resources and credibility of a corporate job before saving the world?
Or does one just jump right into it?
If people still look for the qualifications, should I do that postgrad after all?
What do i want to do?!?!?
On the one hand, qualification-wise it might be good to just get all this studying out of the way. At least with a degree in some commerce thing i have options.
On the other hand, if i'm not sure WHAT i want to do, maybe the odd job thing until then would be good.
Still pondering... Home stability or working to make the world a better place?
Or both? *sigh* i guess it's left to see....

Hey.. I think it's good that you're even thinking of your education as a step to doing something to impact others, rather than just to get a 9-5 job and just earn money for yourself. If you're looking for a form of self-fulfillment, might as well do it in such a way that others benefit as well. Chin up, yeah?
Or you could just try them all and then see for yourself which works out :)
hhmm...
doesn't look like an easy life ahead.
haha..
i'm rather keen on not taking the commerce side of it - why? cos buying working shoes are a bitch.
