I applied for a "Jewelry Maker" post here in Malaysia early this year and the pay is 7/8 times lower than what I am getting now....duh! how to survive like that...Guess in the end, the ability to provide to our daily needs decide which profession we should chose...Mei Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422196493107073702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782358.post-28180014276760535722008-10-19T14:30:00.000+08:002008-10-19T14:30:00.000+08:00Hey you, I am 'called' to answer your question.

By the time I stepped into secondary school, I already knew that there was NO WAY that I did anything other than teach, though I didn't quite know what subject it'd be. <BR/><BR/>I know teaching (or lecturing, or any other simile) will never make you rich but it connects you to people and to the latest developments in academia, as well as giving you personal and spiritual satisfaction. <BR/><BR/>yup, I'm happy with the profession I chose. My opinion is, if you aim to be rich - teaching is definitely not for you.<BR/><BR/>:)Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795418734351789801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782358.post-47372454545833377762008-10-19T10:57:00.000+08:002008-10-19T10:57:00.000+08:00my opinion is one should do what one is passionate...my opinion is one should do what one is passionate about. high-income but no enjoyment, no thank you.
