We are all facing global financial crisis and every government is taking action to put the financial status on a good level. Companies try to minimize cost by laying off employees and if they hire one, it will be on a contractual basis. Do you plan to work for others in a long period of time? Would you rather manage your own time and maximize your earning potential by running your own business?

I want to work for both. After i finish my medical lab science program i will proceed to medicine and will work for private hospital in the city. But i dont want to be like other doctor, having only one business and being dependent on company or any institution. I want to have my other business, simply lead by me. I want to open an ice cream house and coffee shop or maybe both business in one shop, so i can provide better service. A coffee and ice cream house! hehehe... I want to have this kind of business because compare to have other business, coffee shop is more comfortable in term of place for work, few staffs or worker needed and the machines needed are few. The ice cream maker and waffle cone maker also not that expensive and i think its good for long period of time to use for commercial use. Im actually a coffee lover and ice cream lover at the same time, and i really want to enjoy them for free. Since in first year college, i really enjoy to meet my friends in the coffee shop near the campus, and a lot of students enjoy to drink coffee and sandwich there. I wish that i could have one where i can share my experience to drink coffee, enjoy the ambience inside the cafe, and the taste and aroma of the coffee that is different from coffee mix that i bought in the supermarket. I love espresso so much and never reject mocha and coffee latte!!! I want to have ice cream house because i love chocolate sundae and im happy to see people enjoy the ice cream that i made! hehehe...
