Tough Call..

For the past fortnight, I received no phone calls from unfamiliar numbers. The call that I've been waiting for finally came today. Of all times, it had to come after I signed my job contract, went for the medical check-up and took a photo for some card. Sigh. Why didn't they call earlier? Anyway, I'm now consoling myself that I may not land the job even though I've been granted an audition/interview. And I suspect the pay is much lower than the one I'm offered. Furthermore, it would require irregular working hours. I'm a person who loves routine and can't sleep late. Whatever it is, I've only myself to blame for signing the contract so early. If only I wasn't so anxious to get things done so quickly.

It's hard to decide between one's interest and economic returns. I wonder why all the industries that I'm interested in working for all provide very low monetary returns and shitty working hours. I've always stressed that interest is important in a job. Otherwise, the job would turn up to be a chore and one would be dreading to go to work everyday. However, one has to be practical too. After all, I've studied close to 2 decades. It would not be justifiable to settle for a job which offers such meagre pay. Moreover, I don't think I'm the kind of person who can survive by living simply. This is not to say that I'm a spendthrift. However I do indulge in some form of exorbitant shopping spree when I need to. Looks like I've to forgo my interest for higher pay. I hope I made the right decision this time.
