Torn Part II


This time round, it's 'working life after graduation' woes. 'Tis the time when senior business undergraduates will seriously consider their career options, be it in the lucrative yet hectic finance industry, the 'supposedly' more interesting and creative marketing/advertising world or the 'being often bad-mouthed on' HR.

Are we choosing the field we are passionate about or are we going for the well-paying careers that offer us nothing but a big fat paycheck? Tough call eh.

That's the downside of taking 2 majors that do not complement each other.

Finance vs. Marketing

Human Resource vs. Marketing (what I'm doing now)

It's about choosing between the sizzle and the sausage (to quote what my friend blogged about)

"Marketing: Loads of sizzle, no sausage
Finance: No sizzle, loads of sausages in life."

I remember this quote was brought up during the "get to know your majors" session conducted by my school, "ALWAYS BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND".

HOW VERY APT.
