For a moment or for many moments, I started to wonder what am I actually good at? That is why, I always fail in the test of "Tell me your strengths".
Social work was not at all my interest. It was by a sheer moment of luck or a moment of folly that I happened to choose it and then go through it. My ultimate choice was in business administration though.
Then I turned to banking industry and pursue a degree in accountancy, thinking that it is my forte (because I can deal with numbers rather than words) but it does not turn out to be very true...or is it? Or perhaps I just dislike the inflexibility of accounting and banking? Why 1 + 1 must be equal to 2? Why can't it be equal to 11 or none (because they are just 1 apple and 1 orange)? Inflexibility irks me. It provides me with no rooms for possibilities.
But seriously it is not going to help if I were to go through another career switch, though I can say that I am more than brave enough to do so. But I guess I will go crazy having to start from scratch again.
And for a moment (again???), I started to give myself a pat on the shoulder for being such a brave spot to go through a major career switch from a social worker to banking and to accounting. It was not an easy choice when you see your peers advancing in their career ladder and you are still hanging loosely at the bottom of the ladder.
What legacy can I leave behind when I retire? A question that has always been in my mind...
