just had a chat with my dearest cousin while he was driving. oops. but somehow I was expecting him to talk to me since its my final year. yeah, he always try to think of viable ways out for me, what are my options are and tell me what he thinks is best for me.
Kor says that in times of recession, either you get underpaid or you get shitty work, haha. And he asked me to seriously consider...
Taking my Masters.
*drops jaw
Actually, I never really considered as one of the alternatives after graduation, not in the near future. Because my priority is to go out there, get a job and help to support the family. Masters is way too expensive. Something I'll consider after a few years at work. And I think if I haven't been in the corporate world, haven't seen the world, I probably won't be able to appreciate the program that much?
But what he said does makes sense, I shld really consider doing my Masters now that the opportunity costs are lower.
Kor also pre-empted this. And he told me that he will support me, financially and emotionally. He offered to talk to my parents about this option if I want to go for it, and is afraid that my parents may not see it our way.
My dearest cousin have always been more of a father than a cousin to me all these years. His own daughter is in her final year in Poly, so naturally he is worried about both of us.
Now the question boils down to: what do I want?
Honestly, I would prefer to work first... I'll have to talk to my cousin about how I feel the next time then (:
P.S: You won't see this... But thanks kor, love ya...
