Experience - I

I like to share my experiences in studying and working with you, and hope they are useful.

If you need to study something for your career, you need to ask yourself whether you like the field or at least you are interested in. If you do not like it, don't waste your time studying it. Even if you have managed to finish the studies, and fortunate enough to get a job related to your studies, you will not be a happy person for the next 30 to 40 years. Imagine you need to spend at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 48-50 weeks per year, on something you do not like or feel indifferent about it, is it a tragedy? It means that at least 10 years of you life have been wasted on something you do not like!

We all know that subjects such as medicine, accounting, law, or finance may give you a better job in terms of salary. But if you hate accounting, why be an accountant? People who excel in their career are those who have passion on it. Without passion, you may secure a stable job but you will not be a happy person. If you can choose become a happy person or an unhappy one, you should know how to choose.
