This quote, yes it’s haunting me most of the time for the past 2 weeks. These days are hell, you do look for a job, you take all chances, take all opportunities. You’re getting sick of  TOEFL Tests, interviews, Aptitude Tests, Forum Discussion Group, without knowing: IS THIS REALLY WHAT I WANT?

Well I guess for most of us fresh-grads, the question would be: “WHO WANTS TO HIRE ME?” And you may add “PLEASE” if you’re on the verge of desperation :p Hey, some of us weren’t those ‘lucky-had connection/high skilled-basterds’ who gets job in the blink of an eye. Some of us weren’t those who are rich for projects, experiences, etc while we’re still labeled ‘college-student’. And yet our heads are filled up with hopes and faith that this Bachelor Degree of Computer Science will take us to exact high careers. And by careers i mean MONEY.

So now the question remains (at least for me), WHICH PATH DO YOU FOLLOW?

I have a passion. Everyone does. And everyone wants higher amount of salary. Now, does it match? Do you follow your own passion and risk it, or follow everybody’s dream job where MONEY COMES FIRST, and PASSION GETS TURNED OFF?

(Terus terang gw paling nggak mau misalnya kerja di BUMN *contoh doang*, gaji awal 8-10 juta tapi internet dikantor dibatasi, jam masuk dan pulang strict, lingkungan kerja menderita, dan terlebih: BANYAK NGANGGUR :p Hell i’m gonna waste my energy to criticize and murmur all day. Aneh ya? Bukan, itu bukan belagu, bukan idealisme, cobain deh bedain rasanya. Dan terus terang lagi, GW SANGAT SALUT buat orang-orang dengan passion tinggi seperti Arief, Shieny, Z, dan masih banyak lagi.)

Hehe.. a tough one, wasn’t it? :p That’s why i had an extra thinking for choosing my own path of life. The quote made me realize something, that I’m still young and I have a lot of passion, and luckily i have more of the connections i needed. So why not give it a chance? Yes I might start a new line of business, we’ll give it a try for the next 6 months. We’ll see.

Now if I may, quoting Flash Forward Season 1 Episode 4, “HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN A LEAP OF FAITH?”

Cheers, folks! Good luck with the job searching
