dare to be different?

The wordings above were seen on a pwc brochure. Such irony since 9 out of 10 accounting students will end up in a BIG4, I suppose. And everyone will be an auditor. Everyone will be the same. SO HOW TO BE DIFFERENT, LIKE THAT?

Maybe pwc wants us to be different and do something else? Which I’m seriously contemplating now because I really don’t want to be seen doing anything related to assurance or banks or or tax or anything that requires me to dress in business wears and share big tables with everyone else since almost everyone else will not even have cubicles of their own! That’s not the point though, because choosing between facing a balance sheet and income statement everyday or not, I will choose NOT!! The choice gets so simple when you pore over the mundane stuff. Do I want to see balance sheet everyday? NO? Okay, get a move on then.

Sooo, media industry, anyone?

Or get enrolled in ADM and start from scratch? Well, it’s never too late to be still learning, seeing how J and some others are still doing their studies at their mid-twenties. It could go this way, you never know. But talk is cheap and I could still end up sitting around some big tables with similar people who blardee wish they dare to be different initially. Life at 23 sucks. It would be better if I’m still 21, ‘cos big-life decisions at age 23-24 usually are irreversible and take too much energy to lose hair about. Yea, I’m such a whiner, but I’m really thinking very hard everyday about it! Sian-dur.

    i went for the jobs central fair at suntec the other day. there was a stb booth and she mentioned stb will come again in jan. and the ma program is 2 years. which i already know from you but i just feel like asking again. =) so 1 yr might be true. and it remains oblivious to me how an accountant in a tourism industry feels different to an accountant in big 4. hahah..

    maybe it’s like a footballer in a s-league vs in a epl. of cos the environment is betta?! haha

    i think its more of a footballer in olympics rather than s-league or epl.

    like it’s a critical part of an env, but at the same time, it’s kind of small that ppl tend to neglect it.

    (btw, i’m not too sure if they have soccer at the oly) haha.

    that would be more suitable for pricewater and chio lim?

    the environment is different, u wun get the attention?

  1. [...] I admit that I’m having what my friend aptly calls “Quarter-life Crisis”. It’s much better now that I’ve found a job and settled an aspect of my life. But much more remains unknown and I’ve never fretted more. 23’s still considered young but I’m scared that I would still be the same, stuck at the same spot, a few more years down the road and that freaks me out because I won’t be exactly young by then right. I probably need to make changes but maybe I’m scared, maybe I’m lazy, so yes please, just kill me. Why don’t they have the Idiot’s Guide To Being 23 at Popular? So yes, huck finn, life at 23 sucks. Cheers.    [...]
