So now I'm back to square one.

Where does my future lie?

Lets start with current events.

1) GPA 2.7 and I'm not sure if I can reach GPA 3 when I graduate. NTU accepts at least GPA 3 depending on the individual. And for sure, my gpa is gonna drop this sem. So I guess university is highly unlikely.

2) Govt job sector. Of all the three vocations, the army is top of my list but I have to be careful of where I get posted and which unit. I'm not gonna end up as a medic!. Furthermore, there's still the issue of malays/muslims being posted to key units within the army and being entrusted with different appointments. Nonetheless, we all know Brigadier-General Ishak made it there and there's a small number of malays I know who are officers like my brother. So if others before have done it..why not? I wont rule out SPF provided I get a higher qualifications later on in life.

3) Private sector. Job market is still pretty bad in my opinion albeit rising. So I'm gonna have to be a little more careful there. Unlike govt jobs, there's retrenchment involved but its inevitable right?

Looks like im going to have to explore the feasibility of each idea but my heart tells me about the army and I've always believed it within myself that the highest order of life is to serve. The oustanding question is to what point and purpose?

On a less serious note, someone suggested I become a counsellor! And then suddenly it feels like THAT is what im meant to do!

What do all of YOU think?

--------
Let me share a hadith with all of you and I hope its meaning will bring some measure of understand or have a positive impact one way or another. Insya-Allah.

Prepare for life as if to live forever
Prepare for afterlife as if dying tomorrow

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye
