Decisions Decisions

I can't believe I am even having this conversation with myself (in my head of course, I am not THAT insane yet) as I mull over my choices yet again. This week saw the confirmation of SIA accepting to sponsor me for pilot training and I should be hearing from them soon when the medical board clears me. However, is this a wise choice? As I went through the first and second round interviews I couldn't help but notice I was the youngest candidate amongst the 60 others and even the interviewers brought this up more than once.

Right now, I am seriously considering working with my mom for a few years and assist her in expanding her business. Yes, it may be a turmoil in the financial world right now, but it is also prime opportunity to make one's own stake in the world.

The pros and cons of the 3 main options left to me now have been weighed and re-weighed again over in my mind. Come Shanghai, when I visit it with my Mom, will be the final factor in my decision making as I experience once again what is it like to be working for (not with, for) my Mom and if I can contribute positively to expanding her businesses.

How Often have You Felt Lost For Words?

"If words are to form a communication, you use them as a tool to communicate to people and it's pointless to intentionally use a word that no-one else knows."

Round 2, FIGHT!

2nd round of interviews for a position as a pilot in Singapore Airlines are on this Friday. Apprehensive as I am about it (believe me, I have heard tonnes of horror stories about the interviews from past applicants) I am still looking forward to it.
