I don’t usually think so much about my future career on a normal day, but today is extremely strange.
In the morning, while doing my makeup, I was just quietly amazed that I managed to stay on to this job for over 3 months. And then so happened that while randomly surfing the net (cos I finally finished my presentation…), I spotted an excellent job opening that’s based in China. I have not even written my cover letter nor updated my resume and portfolio, and yet I was already drafting a farewell email in my head.
Don’t get me wrong - I don’t hate my job. In fact I find it to be very comfortable. I’m just seriously curious about working overseas. It’s just a whole new experience and opportunity for me to grow.
But I’m not so sure - things are just picking up for me at work. As I can see, the aunties in the sample room are just starting to give a shit about me. I had just received a length talk from my department head earlier, and I feel like she’s beginning to have some faith in my potential.
And then I wonder, is it really alright for me to just pick up and leave within one month’s notice? What about my bills, my loans, my family and my friends? What about my job and the training centre? Is it really alright?
I am young, single, with no family commitments. It should be easy to just pack and go. And yet, I worry more about what it means to leave home, than how life might be at a brand new place. Oh just one problem, I think I will wilt with limited internet access in China.
Oh well, I’m stubborn like a mule. Still wanna give it a shot somehow.
