Everybody wants to have a lasting career in the whole life. But to live in a real society, we have to do some job which isn't our favourate. Now I am an engineer now, and I like what I do. But I often think I'm not really proper to do this job. Maybe a scientist is a better choice?

Those who are working in private enterprises do not think so. I am no longer working since I am in business for the past 10 years. However, in Government jobs, people feel a lot of security. In private companies, it is the continuous process of acquiring skill and demonstrating that skill to be on the process of climbing the ladder. One has to keep on climbing the ladder, because one will not find a landing place. I think both the employers and the emloyees do not want their employees to stay longer than required and employees keep looking for greener pastures, employeers will be looking for more brighter and talented people to start at lower salaries.

I was a teacher for six years and it sort of depressed me, so I quit it. I am a writer; thats my first love. Maybe I should never have opted to teach, but that is the only highly paid job in a small town like mine and that's why I took it. I quit it a year back. I had a well paying freelance job for sometime, and then it conked, and now I am hunting for more opportunities. I love to write and that is my life. I am quite determined about that. I am happy about my choice too. It might give me a tough time at the beginning, but nothing will change my mind. No more running after high paying jobs that don't suit me!!

I have been doing all kinds of jobs for years. And ended up with a job which I recently quit. I did that job for about 4 years. I am starting a new job in Januari and I really believe that is the job for me for the rest of my life.
