The Great Eastern experience
Today i spent almost 3 hours seated in a chair opposite this lady who gave me the full-down story of the perks & the works of the life of a financial planner. It is a wonderful job where you can fulfill a satisfying heart-felt mission of helping others to fulfil their financial plans and to bring awareness to them so that they can better maximise and utilise their moolah. And no, of cos it's not for the commission, it's all in the name of intehgreetee. Bleah.
I must say though, this lady sure can TALK. And in a rather captivating way. I never expected that we could have that session from 9:30am to 12:15pm, with about 90% of the dialogue dominated by her. SHE'S GOOD. That's why she's in this line i guess. And good for her. She can earn the BIG bucks - we're talking 5 or 6 digit salary here PER MONTH. And because she's already been in this line for 18 years, she practically doesn't have to close new cases, cos she can just live off the pay-offs from the renewals of her... erm... 1, 206, 523 clientele base... okok, it was just 1000.
ARGH. WHY did i put myself through this. So strange. I was actually quite convinced by the whole thing and felt pretty geared up to give it a shot, but as the day passed, i began to feel uneasy about it. I'm confused. Why is it that i feel like i shouldn't go for this? BLEAH.
O Lord, save me from anxiety!!! What's my problem... it's the 2nd week i'm back, and i'm fretting already?!?!?! This calls for more exercise of my spirit and enjoyment of grace! O Lord, I just consecrate my job search to You. Be gracious to me and lead me & guide me in this matter...
