Went out with a few of my coursemates who are also doing their industrial training at KL here today. Walked around, watched movie and had a chat on our internship progress. To my surprise, I’m not alone…

Seems like most of them, like me, are not quite satisfy with what we are doing right now. We are spending most of our time in the office doing things that are not quite relevant to our scope of studies…

… and we really miss the days in university.

Most of my secondary schoolmates have already graduated at this moment and are earning their own income. I’ve always thought of wanting to graduate faster and join the corporate world as soon as possible. I’ve always thought of:

How would it be to be able to support myself.

How nice would it be to own myself a car.

What’s the feeling of being able to own a property, a house maybe.

… but these few weeks of training has really changed the idea. The corporate world is not as “ideal” as what I thought.

Sometimes really feel helpless. Why are we wasting so much time learning things that we are not going to use in future. Most people have to bear with the fact that they are going to do things that they are not interested in for a few decades just for the sake of living. It is true that companies will evaluate a fresh grad not only based on their academic result, but also skills…

But what skills?

The recent economy crisis has really hit our country hard, particularly electronic sector. Some of my seniors and friends are still jobless. Just hope that by the time I grad, things will be better.
