19 Aug 2008 - Deutsche Bank
19 Aug 2008.
Went for the deutsche bank networking session today. quite an eye opener. enriching experience talking to a few of the pple. i mean i really went there with almost zero knowledge of investment banking and well, i did managed to learn something here and there after listening.
essentially, it all boils down to one thing: interest and drive. (okay, thatz 2 things i know! but they have to work hand-in-hand). yep. if u have it, u will definitely have the right kind of attitude in the things you do.
hmm. engineers are a bunch of 'too practical' pple. not risk takers (i mean, u can just look at the magnitude of safety factor they factor into their design calc. haha. not so appropriate comparison. but my pt is that engineers are all too pragmatic.) well. i think i'm kinda pragmatic too. probably thatz why i'm still coping quite well in this field of study.
haiz. yr 4 is the yr to start job hunting. sourcing info here and there to find where THAT interest of yours lie. and in fact, i was told something thatz quite true today. that many pple just don't know where their true interest is. they would think that they like this job. but in no time, they would get sick and tired of it and begin finding it a chore rather. maybe the interest is there. but it's hard to sustain. and once it begins to get routine. pple get bored and disinterested. thatz why we need challenges every now and then. stagnation is a no-no! humans are greedy freaks who are never content with the current state of life.
anyway. (i digressed from my pt again.) the point is: it might be a good thing to keep ur options open. and attend as many career talks as possible to widen the horizon. who knows, u might find THAT job that u like soo much and that which might bring u your 1st million!
haha.
i think i'm quite an overviewer. nvr good at details. i always like to see the big picture. i wonder what job will suit me. still searching. exxon!!! do you want me? haha.
--------------------------
i'm tired. very very very tired. i realise i have alot of things to do. just that i don't wanna do. shall focus myself more! jiayou!!
