oh my. Choices.

i was flooded with information lately. and, i must admit that i slacked during working hours. but the time i've wasted paid off.
i have had chit chat sessions with my technical team lead, dennise and a system admin, kok wai.
after the conversations, i come to know that i need to put in more effort to improve myself. i know so little compared to them. Field experience really helps if you're working in an IT environment.

honestly, i'm .... kind of lost right now. lost as in i dont know which path i should take. i can be a network engineer, system administrator, database admin, web developer or multimedia developer. i may choose to be on the consulting side too. me myself, as a system analyst or consultant maybe? Are you confused? I AM!

even if i choose to be a developer, there are still many branches left.
Java? PHP? Oracle? or .NET? even if i have chosen the language, i still need to choose the platform. Mobile or Enterprise?
on the other hand, a consultant's work is not easy too. i've heard that fresh grads who are required to work from 9am to 11pm. talk about recreation, huh?!
besides, you have to do a lot of talking (filifala, filifala.. filili falala) . If you fail to persuade your customers, kantoi la kau!

okay, developer and consultant aside. System administration. this time you'll be dealing with the terms like virtualisation, servers, setups, system monitoring, routing, troubleshooting and security. It might seem easy, but hell, it's not.

just to give you a glimpse:The Papers

but hey, i still have a firm idea of what i want to do. Multimedia development :D
audio, video, image, data indexing, clustering, Flash, Actionscript, it should be fun. (if the job is not fun, you wont even pay 100% into it)
Besides, i drafted a plan for myself. After i graduated next year, i wont search for a full time job. Instead, i will find a part-time job and sit for qualification exams. Hopefully, those qualifications increase my value, then i can sell myself at a higher price. wuahahaha!

ciao~!
