wheres has all the holidays gone??
the buzzword around students nowadays is internship. for as long as i know, internships were done only becoz it was part of the curriculum. then there were those who did it because it wasn't part of the curriculum, and they fear they might miss out on an edge, which is fine ,cos this only nullifies everybody else's internship stint (level playing field) .. then came the pioneer batch of ppl who decided to spoil market and decided to do extra internship stints so that they can up their resume. and becoz of that pioneer batch of ppl, now everybody's doing extra internships as if its the norm. and hence put poor ppl like me at a disadvantage.
my personal philosophy has been and always will be: you've got your whole life ahead to slog and work, why you wanna go use up your holidays??!! esp for us uni ppl, its the last ever we will ever have a long long break at a go... i say pack up, and travel see as much as the world as possible. easy to say huh? of cos need money rite?!! soo work for the money lar (part time jobs, sell backside, whatever!) internships usually don't pay much and require alot of your time.. soo haiz.
at this point you should realise ppl like me don't go far in life.. my future's probably a 3 room hdb flat with 2 kids, and we struggle to make ends meet.. and prolly cursing myself over why i din invest my time properly when i was younger... well.. *shrugs* at least im enjoying my bum life while i can... n hopefully find something 'worthwhile' to do meanwhile.. like err play dota or something.. yeah enrichment..
yeah this post is not to encourage or discourage ppl to take up internships .. as long as you've got a plan... that's already alot of respect ya gonna get from me.. just thought i'd offer another view into this thing we call life... meanwhile i'll just look forward to my internship stint (curriculum ahh..don't point finger) at dsta.. yeah looking forward to being work like a dog with a measley pay... just hope they don't make me wear my number 4 uniform to work everyday manz...
kz.. enuff ramblings.. ppl doing extra internships, just remember your old fren here when you make it big kz?? just buy me a beer everyday i'll be happy le!!
