career week is the week when all the secondary 4 students have to stay back till 5.30pm to listen to different talks by different schools. Honestly, it's not really helpful, yet helpful at the same time. Yes, it's contradictory, but I really feel that way.
It's great that our school is sparing a thought for us and inviting all these guest speakers over to talk about what their school offers and what different courses are there available for us. I still remember the TJC talk whereby the principal was going on and on about their subject combinations while everyone was kind of dozing off. No offence, but your slides are rather... Eye-throwing(get it? the opposite of eye catching?). But if the school just loads us with all these information then it's rather difficult for us to make a choice. Instead, it gets us more confused about the career path we want.
Most of the time, I chose the talk that appealed to me the most (DJ vs Hospitality and Tourism. DJ, obviouslyyyy). But frankly, I won't want to be a DJ. It's just not my thing. But it beats hospitality and tourism. Like, whatttt. Hospitality? Tourism? Nuh uh.
But it does help us in a way because it allows us to discover what there is in the work force outside and it exposes us to various different careers that we might not have known about. Like Digital Forensics. After hearing about that, I was like, "COOOOOOOOOL." If I never went to the talk, I probably wouldn't even have known about it's existence, until a later stage or something. And I know how horrible EEE is now. Urgh. I don't even feel like taking EEE anymore.
On the less serious note, career week was actually kind of fun. Call me weird, but yes. It was fun. During the talk by TP, they gave out colourful stickers to all the students that signed up for the talk and being mature students, we engaged in a stick-the-sticker-on-someone-else-without-them-knowing competition. Or, in other words, a prank. It was really hilarious and stupid but yet it provided us entertainment through the talks hahaha. And there was one time when I was so paranoid that I kept feeling my back for fear of having a weird sticker.
We had a class lunch (kind of) today before Career Week as well! It was really fun even though I got bullied by the guys on the way back. I had to wear my shoes as slippers for quite a distance. I guess it's lunches like these that help to bond us. And without this Career Week, we wouldn't have even organised a class outing.
And it helped our situation too. We were less awkward hahaha.

Situated in the sunny island of Singapore, Jolene recently (is 2 years considered recent?) graduated from university and is now working in a job she never expected herself to hold. Besides having frequent quarter-life crises, she also indulges in video games, anime, and aesthetic korean girls documenting their life in vlogs.
Although not as eloquent with words, she still aims to try her best to bring across her thoughts to the Internet.
