that probably is another option
coz I had a chance to work in a high class international company just before I graduated. It took them 7 years of waiting to find somebody who will seat and work together with their foreign engineers. They can't believed that somebody who don't have degree can work professionally.
I may not have the skills compared to those who were at their 10-20 years of experience, but they found some potentials in me...I was even leading them for a number of difficult times.
After I graduated...everyone was worried that someday I may move out and find a better job... fortunately it happened
, but my manager and fellow workers were so happy for me. Coz they can feel my desires to work abroad and a better help for my 3 siblings and to my beloved parents.
GOD is GREAT in giving opportunities, after 7 years away from my family to finished my studies and supporting them as long as I can, I finally made it...more than ever to what I've expected.
I was the youngest and fresh graduate who was able to work in a offshore & rig design
, very extensive software development
and project management.
3 ingredients of my life.
1. put GOD first! above all things.
(I worked&served my church at least twice a week, even abroad)
2. EDUCATION + HARDWORK
(I got my degree, various MS/NETWORK cert. and adding more)
3. LOVE and ENJOY your job.
(I take it all as a hobby as if I was like playing basketball or my guitar, I can work for weeks to people whom I never met personally who needs my help... on the end, I learnt a lot of things and at the same time I was able to help and make friends
)
Anyway, I will be travelling back at the pearl of the orient seas at the dawn of new year's eve for my lovely wife and my soonest first baby.
Advance Happy New Year's To ALL...
Cheers....
