This is a letter I have recently wriiten to a best friend of mine.
I was just browsing thru net to take some online or correspondence courses in some new field.
So just thought of enquiring before putting my right foot forward.
Actually, I have decided to move out of IT Sector. I don’t want hide any thing from you. So here it goes.
Don’t fall seeing the length of my mail.
After 2 years of experience here, I have learnt a lot of things. Some have helped to identify my talents, my needs, my likes etc. While some other experiences have thought me new things in technology. This job in the beginning of the two years was just a marvelous decorated cake. I never knew it flavor nor its ingredients. But now I know. And I don’t like the taste of this cake. So does it make any sense by continue ordering the same dish I don’t like and struggling to eat it? If you ask me, NO.
Now, am not a kid nor a girl. I am a women. A complete grown up adult. I have got my own thoughts and courage to execute them.
You know, once Shree has asked me to make a list of things what I want to do with my life from now till 55 yers of age. I thought it was easy. After going home I realized that was the toughest thing somebody asked me to write. Just imagine. I don’t know what I should do with my life for the next 30 years. Then she told me. It was really tough. See, every child is brought in a mentality that she/he has the option to become a Doctor/Engineer/Teacher. But does these children (Even we ) know what these profession are all about? Frankly, I dint know. As I told I came to taste the essence of Software Engineer only after becoming one.
So knowledge on what we should become for me is now like what I want to do with my life. I DO NOT want to sit and code and compile and so on ........... We say we need to a good career, good job, excellent pay. But what career? What job? And are we happy with the pay we get ?? And how many of us think about the real life? How many of us spend time with parents, with family, friends? We say we don’t have time for all this and am busy. But don’t we feel tired when we think of the life we lead. Is job and money all in life?
I am tired my Friend. Really am tired of this job. I like the work I do. But you see the point is this is not what I wanted to be. And don’t hit me asking “Then y did I join here?” It was seeing the cake J I said earlier and also less experience of life. I want to change. I want to be what I really want. A job where I get satisfied and at the end of the day I can whisper to my soul “Thank you God me creating me” . A job that gives me time to spend with my near ones.
I need money to survive. I agree. But money is not primary here. Picking any job for survival does not work with me always. In fact, that is what brought me to this decision.
I have not decided on what different career level I have to take. I need some help in that. Some kind of tuning. I need help from u.
I have to any way spend another 2 years here. So Mean while I need to shape my dreams so that I am free to fly with my wings at the end of two years. Insha ALLAH ! !
The option are correspondence or what ever that does ask me the least of my weekends do study classes.
What do you think ?
