For the past month ever since exams are over, life seems pretty mundane for me compared to friends who are flying all around the world for their grad trips. No grad trips for me yet.
So began searching for jobs, and that's no easy task at all. Applied for a few jobs, got 3 replies and all ended up unsuccessful. Even my biggest hope as product designer ended up in rejection, quoting "You do have talent in design, but we're looking for a person who is industrially trained". Sigh
I'm beginning to feel pretty demoralised. Everytime I look at available job positions related to engineering, they just look so unappealing to me - requiring us to know specialised softwares, design & calculations, need experiences. Then when I look at design-related jobs, they all require knowledge of Illustrator/Photoshop etc. I feel so lost, and feeling full of regret that I never pursued what I liked. Now it seemed that whatever I'm interested to do is not related to what I've studied at all, and it feels terrible cuz it's like I've totally wasted my parents' money and effort putting me through university. Everytime I felt this way, my FYP prof's words will come to mind... "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". Yes, I failed to plan my future for myself... now I just need some positivity, some direction & guidance in life. Cuz I really dunno where to head from here on.
