JOB fanatics

JOB. Suddenly, the whole world revolve around the word: Job. What's with this ironic hype? Adults dream to escape work and yet us, the students can't wait to get hold of a job.

It's not that i am lazy and don't want to get a job. I would love to get hold of a job which let me earn some money before serving the nation. But, looking at the trouble national service-exempted species been through just to get a okay-paying job, i can't help but feel demoralised. Every time i wanted to look for a job, it is inevitable that the realisation of "i can offer your company at most 1 month of service" slap me hard in the face. What am i supposed to write in the application form, or worse, what should i say in the interview. It will be the millenium's biggest surprise if the employer chose me over the other candidates who are able to provide long-term service.

However, me being at home while my female counterparts work seriously make me feel awkward and insignificant. It makes me feel useless and poor(yes poor, look at the pay they will be getting compared to mine). Why is it so unfair? I used to think that going into NS during January is a good thing. I can play(this is the only holiday since sec1 that i have nothing on), spend more time with friends(esp. yuk). However, things usually never go my way. All my poly friends are very busy with their school work and those JC friends are busy hunting for jobs if not working.

Now, i sincerely wish that i were enlisted today.

At least then i have something important to do,

something that makes me feel useful.
