Depressed about my future....
-
I just ended my last sem in NUS. I dunno why but I feel that my future is quite bad. I got 2.x for my CAP - the lowest grade you can get for a degree. After ending my last exam, I felt quite bad.
Currently, I lived off my income I got from Google Adsense - more than $8k a month. However, after playing games, doing nothing. I dunno what I should do for future. I attended a lot interviews but failed all of them. I dun want to live my life everyday doing nothing at home and rotting....sighz...any comments what I can do?
PS. Dun pm and ask me about Google Adsense thingy.... -
Go online search about interviewing skills. Btw, what course r u in? Don't worry about ur results, a lot of companies r not looking at the results only, sometimes interviewing skills plays a big part of getting a jobOriginally posted by tznzo:I just ended my last sem in NUS.

first of all, you earn 8k per month on google ad sense, and then you don't know what to do with future, when you are already earning more than a graduate
i have no idea, what you are depressed about, not able to get a job, because you have low grades but you earn 8k per month
it is very contradicting, unless you have a mountain of debts to pay, and you are jobless, and penniless, then you have something to worry about
but you are earning 8k per month, so what is your problem? -
You can't live off Google Adsense forever.Originally posted by allentyb:

Besides. I don tink u onli learn programmng bah.. what else did u learn during ur course of study? -
then my situation, i should even feel more agony
TS remind me of, when i was 17 years old -
When I am taking computing, I realized I preferred business modules more. But too bad I am stuck in com course.
*You cant make $$ from google forever -
Good news. The points you get in school isn't related to whether you will succeed in life. -
Same same.. I suggest.. U r true. U cant earn $ from google forever,. Since u spent so much time in study computing, keep trying to look for IT jobs. get a 1 or 2 yrs experience, Then go study business or do other thingsOriginally posted by tznzo:When I am taking computing, I realized I preferred business modules more.

Well, be a teacher! Since you are in U for computing before, try get a job in Polys or ITE for teaching IT. Well, even if u are like so bad in programming, you still can do the basics, don't you? =)
Well, just a suggestion! -
Your post did remind me of my situation. I hope I can give you some advice based on my experience. I graduated with an engineering degree from NUS but it was not a good (Hons) degree. Managed to find a decent job as an engineer during the recession between 2002-2003. Realised that engineering is not really what I wanted. At the same time, I took up a graduate accountancy conversion course part-time while working as an engineer. Those days were madness because I was not studying what I was working.Originally posted by tznzo:I just ended my last sem in NUS. I dunno why but I feel that my future is quite bad.

After 3-4 years of engineering work and also obtaining my accountancy qualifications, I decided to make a bold decision to switch to become an auditor 2 years back. It was a big paycut I have to take and also working with my peers 6-7 years my junior is a humbling experience. The thing is I am working towards my goal and this sacrifice is worth it as I see more opportunities in the finance industry, and coupled with my engineering skill sets, I believe I have more opportunities than if I were still an engineer.
For your case, there are many part time masters and courses available. If you seriously think that business/finance is what you wanted and if you feel if you can do it full-time (i.e money is not an issue), you can take a course related to financial engineering, CFA, applied finance or a general business course. However, employer outside still prefer candidates with relevant experience. But the important thing is you have to take action now. Get the relevant qualifications and the opportunities will come.
Dun brood about last time when you should have taken business modules this and that. Past is past. Have to take action if you seriously desire what you want to pursue.
If you feel that you need to look for a job, then start looking. Dun worry if it is still programming or computer related jobs. When I was an engineer, even though I feel it was not the job that I desire, I still do it cos the money finances my studies.
Lastly, you are still young (assume you are NS-served, 24-25 currently). I have frens/juniors who are willing to sacrifice their 3 years to pursue a full time Law graduate conversion program after their engineering degrees. I have frens who are working in finance related industry after quiting from their engineering jobs in MNCs after they took Master of Science in Financial Engineering on a part-time basis.
After all these years of working and studying and interacting with various people from diversed professions, I have come to a consenses that what they have achieved now is due to their belief that they can succeed in that particular field. It takes plenty of sacrifices and also a strong conviction.
Hope my advice is of help. -
can i msg u for the Google Adsense thingy?
-
Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of going for SIM 's business part-time and get a job at the same time. CFA is not for me as I dun feel comfortable just looking at charts and numbers, calculating P/E ratio all day long. I guess I just need to find a job and make myself feel productive.
PS. Please google for "adsense" instead - you can find tons of information on that. -

With 8k a month you do investing instead.
Do you know how many people do not get into NUS at all?
You are still feeling so bad for what?
Any uni is only a way of opening a door for you in the working world, the rest is still up to you. Even with a bad degree, you could earn a basic of $2k+ a month. -
Smart. Know how to use Adsense. Next is play with share market.
