Sweat Betul

ya your future is very bright ok dont worry! life is good wtf. sigh the only thing we have to worry about is ageing T.T

and obviously $$$ = happy anyone and no$$$ = sad everyone wtf. it’s true that money is not everything but without money everything is nothing wtf.

Wahhh.. U want to be a kindy teacher eh? And yet U took Econs just for ’security’. A smart choice laaa….

Anyway… It is good to be independent but it will be much more fun if another half earns A LOT so we can do what we want.

But, that other half left you, still OK because you still can find job with ur econ degree. Right? HEhehehe…

I’ll be attending the forum as well. And, as an Econ major who has done internships with these i banks and will be going into the industry after graduation this may, the only nugget of advice I can give you is… follow your passions, there are many, many wonderful options out there that might necessarily come to your college and recruit heavily whilst dangling juicy carrots in front of you.

The best jobs out there need to be seeked, and will not throw money at your feet to get you to do it.

That said, if you’ll like to talk about this, tap on my shoulder and we’ll have a chat! you can email me if you want!

I was in your exact shoes about 3 years ago! Don’t give up hope on being a kindy teacher! I am a commerce(accounts) graduate and absolutely HATED the accounting industry in Msia. So, I decided to pursue my passion which was in childhood education. I started off as running a learning center and moved on to the learning and development team. Also along the way I was offered an amazingly fantastic salary package (better than some corporate jobs) for assistant principal of a kindy. Usually the international kindy pay pretty well!

The wonderful thing about Msia is that you can go into childhood education with any degree! I am migrating to Australia and over there I can’t continue working in the education industry unless I go study further. So its back to accounts fo rme! =(

I believe if you are really really passionate about something, you can make it big. Furthermore, parents nowadays place alot of emphasis on good quality education for their children. Its a growing industry over here.

i think everyone have the same dilemma i want to go for fashion design but am going to major in finance gua gua gua.

I guess you just have take things as it comes because most of the time, what we study in college right now will not be 100% the same as what we are going to work as in the future. like for me, I’m pursuing a degree in psychology but many of my classmates really have no idea of what to work as the next time… even though the cliches are child psychologist, clinical psychologist, counselor, human resource manager, kindergarten teacher, photographer and some even wrote volunteer (!?) all these i can see passion instead of what they were asked to do, so don’t worry so much :)you’ll be fine!

haizz me neither Suet… I tell myself I want to major in Econ so that I can find a decent job in the future but I hate numbers! I mean that’s what I’m good at but not what I like T_T dun even know what I like now T_T Trinity is sooo gonna disappointed at me too hhahahah

Congrats on the test hehe, better than my 82 econ test def T_T

ja ja have fun in Boston ^^

i used to want to be an investment banker, until i realized that the lifestyle is not a sacrifice i am willing to make for the money (100 hours work week are common yo!). btw ibank internships are usually for juniors, and maybe a few exceptional sophomores, as a firstie, better to try other sort of positions to gain experience first..

Ya listen to Aud maybe you can set up your own kindergarten /boo

Same la I want to be a journalist and here I am taking business

My brother wanted to be a postman when he was 5 now he’s about to be a chartered accountant wtf

“So I don’t know..maybe I should try working in an NGO or something this summer to see if I like that kinda life first? I dunno..unicef? awam? ymca wtf?”

How dare you trivialise the plight of other people at the expense of your imperialist american capitalistic desires to try out a new life style, earning money on the side only to spend it on your polluting-thousand-mile journey back to the USA - the epitome of superficial overspending materialism? GOSH!

i’m also going for NMF!!!! but from the kl, malaysia side. hahaha damn stupid

not sure if investment banks take freshmen or sophomores as interns, but you can try! come i give you martian’s number you can bug him for an internship at his bank haha. eh eh come lah we intern together :D IT WILL BE FUN

OMG! you should partner Yee and open a kindergarten. She dreams of playing with kids whole day and her tolerance is way beyond imaginable. I IS SCARED. and yes, she wants to open her own kindergarten, i duno why am i frens with her…hohohohho.

and kindergarten owners own a lot of money feeding food and playing toys with lil kids ok! you’ll be a millionaire and wont dissapoint mt holyoke….

wei! cool lah doing an internship in investment banks!!! the best advice would be ur ex boss Stewie since he did not only one but 2 internship wtf. one with JP Morgan another with Deutsche Bank. why ur ex boss so keng one?!!!!?

Try out Citibank as well, that British CEO is damn nice ok! he wanted to take me in when i was selling wine as a part time at Cold Storage, KLCC. -__-|||

gambatei suet!!!! try to get into the broker site. *rubs hand!* Oooo…. the adrenaline in stock market! weet!!!

wtf why that i am a commie guy so annoying wan. eh idiot i swear 75 percent of people working in UN do not work there because ‘they want to help people so badly’ ok they do it because i dunno they just did. and all the people who work in charities bugging you to donate well they get paid for bugging people! some people do it to help people but i bet most of them started out like suet also, trying to see if they’d get a job they like. so erm yeah shut the fuck up and stop bullying my suet.

GB, ho chi minh is overrated.

Oh, comrade godless commie, we’re having a barbecue to celebrate the Great Lenin’s life and later, you can participate in the reenactment of the assassination of the kulak Tsar Nicholas II. We’ll use real bullets and you can play the Tsarina. After all, товарищ, Ленин очищает землю от нечисти. Да здравствует Ленин Великий!

Im doing econs too =) you can try companies like E&Y,PWc, or banks like HSBC for financial related stuff over the summer. But liked suann said,they prefer juniors & seniors so NGOs might be a good idea too. looks very good on resume too!

btw i know lots of Malaysians from Buffalo are going to the forum too! have fun!!

be tuition teacher la! i tell you aprents nowadays so kiasu kindergarden kids also wanna send to tuition already. BIG BUCKS I TELL YOU.

and you know what! my dream is to own a kindergarden *wishful eyes* asked my dad to buy me one and he rolled his eyes at me. wtf. said cannot make money. wtf

I just have to say this. Gin, Walao weh. Can ask your father to buy you kindergarten… My father asked for the 63 sen from the RM 25.63 novel I borrowed his money to buy after I paid the 25 ringgit.
