Took the Quiz which Hafi posted on her blog...thot i needed it since right now, i'm totally bummed out at what I really wanna do and what I will be good at for a proper, serious career.
Hmmm check out the options that suit my personality:
| Your Career Personality: Independent, People-Oriented, and Fun |
 Bar owner Bartender Cheerleader Event promoter Flight attendant Marketing consultant Motivational speaker Personal trainer Real estate agent Talk show host |
| Your Career Personality: Flexible, Good-Natured, and Energetic |
 Actor Dog walker Elementary school teacher Fashion designer Interior decorator Fundraiser Musician Personal shopper Veterinarian Wedding planner |
Should I then juz plunge into somethin of my nature or push myself out of the waters and do somethin which is not me but what I dream to be? Cos right now, I feel that even though I wish to be someone in the Scientific scene, I am not sure if i'm that Intellectual for problem-solvin or Independent enough for it. I'd rather wanna have a career that allows me to use some creativity, have flexible time and workin or meetin with a buncha fun people rather than do meetings, work with carcinogenic reagents/substances and present papers of some kinda research.
One of the jobs that has been dwindlin at the back of my mind should i fail to be a proper Scientific person is to be a fitness instructor...and quite recently i thought since a bunch of my friends are in the mode of "Kahwin-Kahwin" there'll be a niche for wedding planner in me...yeah i can do shit work, contact n run here n there to cater for others juz to make them happy on their Weddin Day...i almost wanted to sign up for the course of becomin a Weddin Planner but i dunno if i'll be plungin in the right direction AND i have a Degree in Science for goodness sake! Whatever happened to my dream of helpin others find a cure to some of the most serious diseases/problems in the world??
Hmmm bugger bugger...Urghhh...
Hey sophie, you may want to fix the code a bit... I took the test too.. Bwahaha...
ReplyDeletelol yeap done
ReplyDeletehey babe..dont fret abt it, im sure there's a perfect job for u. i bet if einstein were to do this test, scientist/physicist/chemist wont come up as an option
ReplyDeleteoh..by the way..i think u'd make a great personal shopper..hehehe
ReplyDeletehahaha i'll make others bankrupt.."nice nice...BUY!"
ReplyDeleteHow abt, I'll be your first customer?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing much to shop ard here. And be my personal stylist too!
By the way, don't let stuff like this take you down. It's just a game. We can achieve great things, things we never thought we could do as long as we have a passion and drive for it.
ReplyDeleteYou know how scientists are boring? How bout you bring style to being a scientist? That'd be awesome
Wah cuz.... Wedding planner eh? Sounds fun kan?
ReplyDeleteMy ex Boss has approached me a couple of time to assist him in his events planning co. Haiz... But the thing is I'm not brave enough to pursue my interest in exchange for a stable income... Was just about to blog my issue on something like this... Looks like we're both @ a crossroad in our careers, cuz... I pray you'll find your path soon... =) *HuGz*
lol serious?? i dun mind goin shoppin for u!
ReplyDeletei'd look out for beiges n khakis tops for u...i'd go get modern classy yet laid baid looks for ur wardrobe...wire me some money..i'd hit town/internet for u in a jiffy...ehhh but ur place...hardly can do delivery rite?? emm
lol i look like one of those lab rats when i work. t-shirts, jeans sneakers. no point dressin up under that white lab coat...hah...but i've seen some new breeds who takes pride in their dressin (looks at lydeeana)
ReplyDeleteyeah it's true what u say...these kinda things may not necessarily hold true and what matters most is to be passionate n have a drive at doin somethin, then u can do it for the long run. we'll see how things go!
yeah thats the one major problem...event coordination/weddin planner...it's freelance..if no demand, no $$. i also want a job that generates stable income...ooh oh..i pray the same for u dear! ((hugs))
ReplyDeletebtw...when u gonna grab the thing u left in my room?
No offence Sophie, u've burnt a big pocket for your deg, why not u continue your line in it? Dun u think its such a waste of effort and money to be doing something else since we're staying in this ever-competitive country?

ReplyDeletehey supi babe... i get this line alot from my dear hafiz... grinz... but i'm adamant to continue wat i'm doing for now. follow your dreams, follow your heart and insyallah your path in life will be blessed watever u do... keep smiling!
ReplyDeleteSophie, you told me about Covey. Now, in the words of Covey, 1) start setting a vision of yourself 2) and change yourself to achieve the vision. You got 5 more steps after that and then number 8.
ReplyDeletethere is more to research than just lab my dear friend. Science is so diverse. If me, be scientific but follow your passion....
