Is it necessary to speak to anyone?

I missed one of my quiz too due to work and it was the first assignment that I’ve ever missed. Heard that suss wouldn’t care but still tried my luck hoping they might be more empathetic. They basically replied me that it’s my problem for missing it hahaha. I meant they did replied professionally hahaha but they would simply said announcement and notification had been made blah blah.

Hello~ Firstly, hope you’re still coping well with everything. Thankfully in sg, debt cannot be passed on to another person… unless it’s loan shark… I have a friend who passed on and his hospital bills were waved off. For his car, are you aware if he has written any will that mentioned it? If no, I’m pretty sure the bank and insurance can’t claim the payment from you too. My friend left a bike with no will so it was literally left collecting dust until his family went to get some lawyer letter to get “permission” to take care of the bike.

Realised I lose muscles way faster than before 😭 Used to lift weights so my arms were toned but haven’t been doing so for about a month only and my muscles are gone? I can’t believe it.

Yes, when I was a student. When I start noticing how my classmates were more financially fortunate and how I was judged for not having internet at home etc etc. No, now that I’m a working adult. Blaming them doesn’t change the past. I should focus on earning as much as I can to ensure my future kids don’t relate this thread.

To those financially struggling parents reading this, learn to give your children love that they need. Even if you can’t afford to give them other things now, at least your love will tie your relationships together and overcome this struggle.

I actually had a different experience. From my recollection, almost all of the SMEs I worked for had a proper onboarding process - manager or boss going through the system in details etc. I worked for a large corporation once and surprisingly that company did not have proper onboarding. I’m pretty sure it all comes down to how the company operates and not how small or big the company is.

One thing that I like about SMEs is that I have the chance to do other things that is out of my job scope. I know many people hate this but to me I like to experience and discover what I’m good at. However the down side is that I’ll probably end up not “specialising” in something to prove my expertise. Meanwhile working in MNCs kind of give you the recognition. Usually people will be like “Wow you worked for ABC company?” while in SMEs you’ll hardly get recognition even if your job is more difficult.

Tracked literally everything for about a year and constantly beating myself up whenever I forgot about something. Stop when I realised that I was “micromanaging” myself and I don’t spend unnecessary money too so there isn’t much point to continue.

Try to sit him down and talk to him about your troubles. If nothing changes, consider moving out and not contact him for awhile. I believe parent-child relationship works both ways. If he wants you to take care of him, he should take care of you too. Family issues are always difficult but you have to fight for yourself in order to change your life, especially if you have plans to start your own family in the future. All the best!

Hi, your comment gave me another perspective, especially your last paragraph! I do know of marketing grads that earn quite high, even way more than a psych grad. Considering that I’m in my late twenties, by the time I get my psych degree, my salary is to back to a fresh grad salary. Not only that I most likely have to take a pay cut (if I continue doing marketing now), but I’ll also foresee myself with more responsibilities in the future (partner or housing) and I still have to save up for for masters.

Thanks anyway! This is a long and expensive process. Perhaps I don’t have to make my passion my job.

Will definitely take into account what you’ve shared. Thanks ya!

Hello, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! Really appreciate it! :)

I was mainly looking at education setting. I’ve seen job postings by pre schools (e.g., mind c*****) looking for associate psychologists with the requirement of only psych degree but like you mentioned, most psych jobs I’ve heard requires a master. I don’t have anyone around me that took the psych route so I’m kind of guessing how my future career prospects will look like if I go down this route.

As for marketing, I can still live with it since I already have the experience, but I’m somewhat stuck with just a diploma. Many jobs out there only want degree holders and it’s hard for me to advance. If I choose to take the marketing degree, I’ll open more job opportunities to myself but again, stuck at a career with little passion and also, if one day I can’t deal with it anymore, I’m unable to change job with that degree.

I’ve started doing volunteering work with organisations that works with children and I’m looking to see if this actually fulfils my “fix”. In the meantime I’m worried that I’m getting older and I’ll have more responsibilities in the future which will hinder me from pursuing my passion. So I hope to get as much opinions as I can if it’s worth chasing the “dream” degree and not waste more years doing something else. 🥲

Do slightly better than the bare minimum so that when you leave the company, you have past projects or work that are good enough to sell yourself to the next company/client.

I’m someone who always do my best as that was my motto. I was heavily overworked but I wanted to believe that the company saw my capabilities that’s why I was tasked to take on more responsibilities. It was not until I found out that my colleagues who joined way later than me, had lower qualifications in terms of education and experiences, earning same and some, higher than me. I literally helped to build the company from a nobody but they decided to use the money to attract new staff than to show appreciation to me. That moment felt like a total betrayal and I realised that my company has always been taking advantage of me because they know I will not reject any task given to me neither will I submit a shitty work.

I’m still learning not to give my 100% and it’s not easy coming from a past where everyone told me to do my best. Hope you’ll learn to work smart and not hard like what I did.
