Career and life
Hmm..I am now working in the Finance dept of a company and it just makes me understand what is "rank", "power" and "money". The company actually pay all the expenses of those high-post people in the company, even in things like pedicure and medicure. I am surprised that they actually pay them for that. Afterall, their salary is damn quite, at least 5 figures kind, yet, such things, the company pay for them? It is really weird. While the lower post people in the company slough their life out, yet they do not enjoy such rights. Even their accommodation is so expensive. My God man..
I realised something after working in various companies in Singapore, that as long as you are an expatriate( correct spelling?), u will usually hold all the high-rank position in the company. And, the company would be happy enough to pay for all your expenses, even with your children school fees. I am not complaining cause’ this is what my bf is experiencing. His school fees are paid by his dad’s company. Yeah. And, something is really important to note here, degrees are IMPORTANT. Very. Graduating with honours, masters…will gurantee u high post even if u have no work experience in such areas. Thus, whoever says work experiences are more essential than academics is bull-shitting. I see it with my own eyes. However, the bad news is that eventually many people will graduate with a degree. So, the aim is to study higher.
After working in accounts and finance dept, I don’t know about my career prospects still. I like numbers. But, dealing with such high amount of money is scary. And, I don’t think it is possible to develop well in these areas. Of course, unless with the cert lah..but I kinda of like finance and accounts, though I just realised that they are actually different. Finance must be good in presentations and understanding I guess. I heard my boss quarrel with a lawyer in the office over the presentation skills. It is complex to me cause’ in order to understand, it is crucial to know at your finger-tips the runnings of the company.
At least, work experience has taught me how to use the different software in accounting and finance.
So people, study hard as you can now…yeah! Jiayou!!!!
