kerja makan gaji nampak lebih mudah tapi agak stress jgk. terpaksa menurut apa yg majikan nak (w’pun xsemua)
but i do think a freelancer is better because he needs to be discipline with himself…if not,anything won’t go like he planned…

for me,i will just choose the passion one. because even kerja banyak bertimbun-timbun,tapi x rasa tertekan sgt…

kalau aku nk jd engineer balik bleh ke? experience mmg not in engineering la kan, which is kinda obvious from my moniker.

Qualification or passion? Well I think you already know the answer. You’re pretty blatant about it in this post too (read: totally biased descriptions of both jobs ).You said you didn’t like routine, but look at it this way; maybe stepping in another pair of shoes for a little while is good for you. You do have the upper hand, you know. While other people have skill, you have skill AND passion. Plus you’ll definitely get more networking, thus more clients for your business, etc etc..hehe. I’m such an optimist aren’t I. The choice is yours to make, bebeh. Good luck!

PS: Kalau fresh grad taknak eh? I have one super enthusiastic engineering-graduate friend yang memang all out nak keje dengan oil & gas, tp no experience, CGPA second class upper. Oh well, tell me if he can apply.

[Reply]

Oh, and lucky for me, my qualification is my passion Help me save the world, Eddie!

omg klcc? Be prepared to face jam for about 2 hrs. and leave early. Twenty mins can make all the difference

Case in point:
Leave at 7am - arrive at 7.45am
Leave at 7.20am - arrive at 9+am

Better do something u’re passionate about i think. Day in day out doing something you don’t like is not the way to live

(plus you’d probably have less time to blog)

hmm.. susah kan bro? my bro gave up engineering jobs because it is boring for him, and bla bla bla.. so, he starts his own business. i hope, which ever u decide will be the best of all options available.

[Reply]

aku prefer passion..sebab aku berfikir,kerja dengan gembira lebih cemerlang dari kerja yang dibuat seperti tiap2 hari yang lepas..tapi,untuk dapatkan pendapatan tetap tiap2 bulan,pilihlah yang kelayakan itu.

this is what I like about this place.
it gave me time to figure out my own road.

nobody ask people to be what they don’t want to be.
they can choose.

and knowing this place, I had one idea how am I going to make decisions with that engineering qualifications.

p/s: apekah?
p/p/s: thanks for sharing this. not everyone gets to choose between two delicious ‘in its own way’ things like this.

ikut hati mati,
ikut rasa binasa,
hmm…
lu pikir la sendiri.
ps.: other people see your qualifications (on paper),
YOU see your own passions (your heart). YOU decide!

I am still seeking job opportunities which collaborate with my passion.. being an Air Crash Investigator.. but u have to know that if u have multi experience in many field u will become more reliable… as the job is base on contract.. so u won’t stuck in OnG forever like most people.. but as u say, u hold the last decision..

[Reply]

woho.

u should reconsider it. sometimes the weird things can become passion

[Reply]

based on your post mmg obvious u r more into web developing drpd engineering.

[Reply]

if u consider web dev as ur baby, ur business, u wudnt even have this dilemma…

but if u really need the money, experience, a break from web dev, go for it

[Reply]

Exon mobil ke??? my kakak baru dpt kerja situ. entah2 same mcm u punye job

[Reply]

With passion, comes qualification. But not all qualified people have passion in doing their job. I’ve been into a phase where I get my fixed income every month but end up, I am not passionate enough with the works even though it is my field. So I venture myself by having own biz although am doing the same job nonetheless but this time I do it with passion, and even though there is no fixed income and the level of stress are much higher than working under people, still at the end of the day, I am truly happy for I have the freedom that fit into my dictionary.

If you are looking for stable job, by all means, you can have it anytime with your qualification at hand, but if you are looking for a job that you are passionate enough, I guess it truly have to come from your wise and balance decision. Whichever your decision leads you to, everyone will support you.

Good luck and may the New Year 1430H brings you a lot of good opportunities, NH. Salam Hijrah.

“creativity - Not needed. Just do as told.”

Hmm . rasanya perlu juga . bukan semuanya semudah abc.

[Reply]

yerp . and still i don’t think my answer is wrong . =)

*nvm , its just an opinion .

[Reply]

I think, go for passion, if that makes you happy. My sister’s teacher was an engineer. gila hebat. she got multi-million projects and all that stuff but now she’s just a secondary school teacher. why? because, to her, engineering is too much work, and she wants to spend her time w her family, and she’s happier that way. she’s also the fav teacher among students that other teachers envy her. *shrugs*

btw, sometimes problem solving requires a tint of creativity. a solution that has never been done before.

Take the easy money, use it for other means Downside? Suffer for leaving your ‘passion’ for few years, do the mundane, boring, routine job and rewarded with big money, well if you consider it as ‘rewards’ for putting your passion away for a while.
