It depends on how good is the job market for graduates in whatever area you´re living.
any good position will always be competitive, and good
talent is always in demand. no matter how good/bad the
economy is. i think that it's basically up to me to get the
jobs that are available. and shit just gets more competitive,
i just have to be better. can't let things i can't control get
in my way.
under my personal circumstances, my location had no
influence on where i will work. i didn't stick around my
home country or my university's city/country to get a job.
i moved. my job was waiting for me across the atlantic.
It's really amazing to consider what our lives would look like if we didn't have some kind of mentor encouraging us to take the unbeaten path. If we just believe in ourselves', we're crazy. If we have someone believing in us? We're dedicated. It's a whole different world.
yeah, i think having someone believing in you is nice.
in terms of having that room to fail, and then being
able to dust myself off and just start again.
but i think i'm most grateful for my early years
education. i mean i grew up in a developing country,
and to my parents, the best advantage they could
give us was rearing us into multi-lingual people.
and they put us in an 'international' environment
from the get go... play groups to pre school. and
just the exposure to the different cultures and walks
that make up life. i think that has shaped me so
incredibly much.
high school, college, post grad (twice...on my third
now with a part time program).... all my own doing,
parents have never seen a report card since 5th grade.
Well, idk, depends. My parents are great, but they are really um unambitious compared to me (which is fine). I don´t think everyone requires a mentor (even though it´s always easier if you have one).
i don't think it's always easier if you have
a mentor that you didn't pick yourself. road
to hell is paved with good intentions.
