When we are young, Doctor, Fireman, Teacher and Policeman seems to be the most popular choice when it comes to writing essay for the title * My ambition *
However, when it comes to reality, this young kids seems to be under-educated about the job responsibility and rather emphasize on the importance and how great that job can be.
Having been through the growing stages and up to this point of time, i realized that there is no ideal job. The more you ask/wanted the more you will need to sacrifice.
Doctor for example. Well, all those brilliant student with one stretch of A's result will have a chance to consider this option. Doctors practice in Malaysia will have to go through either STPM or matriculation (Private/Public) need to score Straight A's as well. Together with the 5 years course, they will graduate as young as 23 years old OR as old as 25 years old. This does not include 2 years mandatory "Housemanship" at any designated local hospital. Only then they will get the title of Dr.
8 years of further education after the high school, qualifies this student as a Doctor. To become specialist they will need to invest many more years to do their Masters. Huh. Sounds tiring to me. If i do have a choice, i will not choose this path.
After they graduate from the 5 years study, they do get paid for the housemanship, RM 4k per month. This is what you get after 6 years of study, struggling all the exam trying to strike for flying colours. I would rather face colours in front of the computer screen with some design course. :)
Fireman- I am just impressed with those Dramas storyline which tells about their sweet and sour life as a fireman. Action Packed, Drama remains drama. "Thats all Folks" I pass by firestation twice a day. Almost everyday. I have never seen the firefighter at all. Like NEVER. In this country i think we face problem like burnt forest from neighbour country MORE THAN fire accident in housing or industry settings.
Well, is it because of the fire prevention system works perfectly or simply because there is no person in charge when we call 994? for Fire rescue. I remember playing prank calls just to try out see whether they are sleeping or really working :) When I WAS SMALL OK. Probably this is the reason why they do not advertise the number to call for firefighters. I know 999 is for the Police. What about Fireman?
Speaking of Police. I have so much bad experience with this group of nonsense. Bribe is one thing, unreasonable summon is something that really can't accept.
Involved in accident, before you manage to claim from the insurance, be prepared to pay for RM 300 'Processing fees' first. Thats for major. For minor cases like car scratches and small accident. Someone, somehow will need to take the blame. Either party will have to pay RM 300. Cars and Motorbike - Cars driver be prepared to throw out that cash. The rules is set up/ established to simply pay for their salary at the end of the month. :)
Oh Last but not least, Teacher seems to be the greatest job of all. Well, probably yes during the 70's but not at this century. Losing temper to a student will get you into the jail. :) Using wrong method of punishment will get yourself into more trouble. By not doing anything or doesn't meet up to the student expectation, they will need to bare the complains complains and complains.
I remember during my high school, i have three headmaster/headmistress. 2 of them died during my 5 years study there. Need not mention about the age. Our class caused couple of teaches to switch their duties and choose not to step into classes. Simply because we could educate ourself better. :) Ah, nowaday affordable children will pay for tuition classes after school hour. Therefore, school time is actually socializing time. They spend all their life making noise in the class.
Perhaps, being a tuition teacher will have better profit and less stress. :) Teacher is not the greatest after all.
What is an ideal job?
In my opinion, None. Life SUX!
