Ever since I was young, I have always wanted to work at the hospital - to care for people. I will never forget what my Dad told me when we were talking about what to take up in college when I was young, “The best job you can get is where you can help people.”

Fast forward to now. What is making me depressed a bit these days is my seemingly bleak plans for nursing. I still cant get a job because good maids these days are considered endangered species. Plus, even if I get to work for a hospital, economically speaking, my pay really wont be worth the time I will be away from the kids - and let’s face it, I need and I want to be the one taking care of my kids.

Times likes these I often wonder why did I ever choose a course that limits me to one setting - why didnt I take up business or the arts or even IT. All the sideline jobs I have now are so far from nursing. I do design layouts and albums for clients, I was technical support for a registrar company when I was still working, I help conceptualize themes for events. If I had loved computers back then, I would have been practicing in IT and doing NY IT Consulting. IT is one of the hottests jobs in the industry today - letting you work even from home. iCorp’s business in IT outsourcing, for example, gives people the power and flexibility to manage their business in the aspect of technology without difficulty.

Sometimes it is depressing that it is all about the benjamins these days, especially when you have a family already.

BUT I still love to work for the people, to be able to talk and interact with them everyday, help alleviate discomfort. I also want the thrill of analyzing human mechanism - it gives me such a high to be able to understand and even come up with a solution how to treat one.

*sigh*.
Someday. I just have to keep believing in that someday.
