Am I really very stupid to reject a high paying job for a low paying job for a long term career plan?

             This whole week I am really depressed cos suddenly so many companies offer me job and every company pressing for me to give a decision soon. Wanted to make a decision liao then suddenly got 2 more companies ask me to come down for interview and all the companies all not bad one. Until now I am really reluctant to take a lower pay job and some more its only a renewable contract job… To me I see money/ salary as a very important factor in deciding whether or not should I take up the job. Honestly speaking the pay really low compared to my last drawn basic..i really wanted to reject the job liao and go for my oil and gas job which pay much much higher with better bonuses and aws. In fact its even better than my ex company. Because of that I was really depressed cos I cant accept the fact that I should accept the lower paid job for a long term career plan. My best friend keep telling me to go for the lower paying job and it will definitely be a stepping stone for my future career. I wish it could really happen but I really no confidence of jumping into another public division because there are so many smart and good people out there. Question is how do you outshine these people to get a switch in job. I am really scared. Whereas if I were to take the crewing job, although I hated the job cos that’s the reason why I left the ex company also. Although I can do the job, but for the sake of high pay and money for my future, I dun have a choice if I were to choose this job.

 

             Eventually 2 days before, the crewing company kept on pestering me for a decision and I bo bian rejected it although I really wanted to take up the job liao when dear said that maybe I should work for the sake of money. If you are willing to piah, oil and gas can really make you a Richie. No joke man. The bouses alone can really make you rich if you can endure the industry and work for many many yrs. Well, I really forgo this opportunity given this time..abit sad though cos I gave up a job that can make me richer next time.

But now, since I have made up a decision. I shall work hard for 1 yr + within the public service and I shall see if I got chance to proceed further. If I am going to stuck at that level, I guess I am going back to my oil and gas and be a more practical women. Money is still an important factor. I want to work hard now and earn more money so that next time I can finish my housing payment earlier. I dun like to be in debt cos the feeling really very tong ku.

I gonna tell myself that I shouldn’t be that sad anymore because in life its about making wise choices and taking a risk. Perhaps I am betting one yr of my career on something which I am very uncertain about now. After a year I will decide again where to go if things doesn’t appeal good. I hate changing jobs cos I dun like changes but sometimes if things are not favourable you just have to make changes so that things would be in your favour.

I shall commence work next week. 5.5 months of slacking is enough. Time to earn money again. Cant wait for my hong kong trip next month. Shall earn this one month pay and spend it in HK !
