There's just too much thought and considerations to go through. So much planning to the point where it borders on micro-decision making.
Like Which company to choose?
Which leads me on to think of the following questions.
- Benefits in the long term/short term
- Client portability
- Commission and remuneration
- Career prospects in the long term / short term
- Personal Preference
- Environment
- Product range
Sure, I might have had the intention to join them in the BEGINNING, when I was still fresh faced and naive, but now that I've realized the importance of a GOOD MORAL MANAGEMENT, joining the TOP group of certain company doesn't seem to entice me.
This industry is about the survival of the fittest. The one who perseveres and stays on the longest, reaps the most benefits. But for now, my short term goal is to learn and earn a stable, income before going onto something bigger.
Nevermind that Audit might take half a year to clear my license after that, I'll just take that time to get married, have a baby and build a family. But before all that happens, just let me complete my degree while learning the ropes of Insurance. Perhaps I'll move onto managerial roles in a bank. But that's another story, IF and only IF all goes well.
Who knows, with my current spate of bad luck with exams, I might just fail to make it through my licensing and not even embark on my plan AT ALL.
Oh Lord please guide me through my career path and tell me which is the right path to take. Amen!
URGH!

My guide to a job now:
1. Work life balance (including being able to leave on time and having little need for work after hours and weekends)
2. People (the work is shit - it's a given - and if the people are also shit... If you cannot even stand the boss during the interview, don't even think about it! Your job will be hell from day 1.)
3. Type of work (is it your interest area? No interest is hard to sustain)
4. Pay (Am I better off in this job or am I better off not taking this job and instead spend all my time twiddling my three thumbs instead)
Thanks for the advice, ET! =)
Reason why I'm twiddling me thumbs now.
