Wow, I havnt written on here in a long long time. Sometimes I look at other ppl's blogs and wonder... why havnt they written anything lately !!! Well, in an effort to not be a hypocrite here goes...
Have been having some deep thoughts lately, one being about my future. I wonder if I'm leaving my future career to much to chance and in the hands of other people not enough within my sphere of influence. Example: I have been interviewing for some pretty wide-ranging positions/internships lately. So what I end up doing is really going to be dictated by who offers me a position. For example, I have had interviews recently with consulting firms, supply chain planning type jobs, and even something like logistics/warehouse management ! I just sent my resume to a private equity firm and to one of those investment firms. I might apply to Google if I ever get around to it. So, am I going to do what I really want to, or just what is first offered to me. My dad warned me to not to accept the first offer.. But sometimes you want to have something in your hand because you fear not having nothing at all. To help you all laugh, I applied to a summer internship at Burger King for this summer. hehehe, well its corporate and in Miami.. One job that sort of interested me (and to which I applied for summer internship, but which could be a job for the following year) is Logistics/Manufacturing/Marketing in Asia. If you know me, you know I'd love to take this job for 2 yrs posted in a different city every 6 months. Its management traineeship position. The only only drawback I see is that they pay local salaries..Now, I dont look down on local salaries, but I just have to remember that I have to pay back my huge college loans that I used to pay my expensive American private universities. You all can imagine how much that can be. Well, I was hoping to pay back about $1,000-$1,500 USD per month on those loans. I havnt got the numbers, but I imagine that a local college graduate salary in say Taiwan, or Indonesia or even Singapore would be unable to pay that kind of money back... Ok, enough of that... Happy Chinese New Year. Its my year ! Year of the Pig. I'm still studying Taiwanese and lovin it. I had a 10 minute phone conversation with my teacher's sister as a homework assignment. I was mightily impressed by my ability ! Oh and I decided to graduate in August or in December 2007. Just needed more flexibility in the whole Summer Internship/Job Search thing. And I'm goin to Mexico for Spring Break :) Well, just going to Mexico City to see my mom, grandma, and aunts and uncles. My friends are heading to Hawaii, but I just really feel that it has been too long since I've seen my grandma. I've been hangin out a lot in San Jose lately. Yum Yum Yummmy Vietnamese food ! Havnt been "partying" as much as last semester. I dont know if that is good or bad, but I think I need to find a little more balance in my life... Aight. Laterz. Keep in touch friends ! |
