What do you want to do in life? If you're between 15-25 , I am sure you've been bombarded with that question by those who care, and also by those who don't. And , worst of all , by your own self.
The country has expanded and developed, options are greater than ever before ... does it help? doesn't help me.
Let's try and find some answer, or at least be less far away. What I don't understand is why this question relates to only your career/job/profession. I mean really, is it that i spend all my productive time and available energy to answer this question , and everything else in life will automatically fall into place, rainbows butterflies et al?
Anyway coming back... There was a certain Greek philosopher, who used to answer all question with questions. However most often this leads down two paths, both strictly avoidable as long term solutions.
1)Answer of what do I do lies in what do I not do? Don't walk down this path, it led me to 4 years of engineering. I counted down those 4 years and that is not how I want the rest of my life to be.
2) Potential deviations/random tangents. When time is apparently critical, and in retrospect is not where the answer should be found, it's perhaps better to be direct.
eg. What should I have for lunch? Where should I go? How will the traffic be? I am thinking of buying a new car what are the general traffic conditions like? and parking? oh god look at the fuel prices! out of time. I'll just eat a sandwich .
A cold, stale sandwich is what I end up with usually, instead of butter chicken and dal makahani.
Perhaps the answer lies in discovering what you are like as a person. Easier said than done.
I'm lazy, easy-going, non-decisive, moody, irrational and often impulsive.
Oh! problem solved, I'll just post that on www.get-me-a-good-job-.com , and they will match my requirements. they do say jobs for all don't they?
The most dreaded part of this decision is it's irreversibility. Goddamnit!!
I really envy people who are born knowing that this is their calling? WTF made you choose?
Do i want a high profile occupation? Static or Dynamic? Feel good inside or outside?
WHAT??!!!
Over and out,

Hello world!
Aloha!
Let me get down to some clarifications :
1) The title of this post is meant to get my techie friends nauseous. For others, let me specify that it is the standard flag message used in every sample computer program possible.
2) The blog's title has nothing what-so-ever to do with finance, investment or banking.
3) Anything I write is valid at that given time place and mood and is definitely not a permanent view, nor am I dogmatic in anyway.
4) My moods change frequently and randomly, so I may not have justifications for everything I write subsequent to writing them.
