I believe it's been a long time since I post anything in here.
Good news are I graduated my degree already! YAY!!
and I already have a job!! another YAY!!
My job now as a content writer in the new travelling e-commerce company..
Even my writing portion as not as much as my senior here, but I'm feeling kinda happy..
I do what I love, which is writing, and get paid.
Even the salary is not that high. But hey, I'm design graduate and not a wordsmith..
Kinda happy too because my working environment is a healthy one.
I have many role models here.
As all my senior writers are seriously great in English and in their writing.
No kidding, all of them were study abroad.
Hahahaha
Aside from my lack of confidence in office, sometimes I really don't know what I love..
I love too many things you know.
Then one day I watch some TV program when this man, a famous author of "Your Job Is Not Your Career" showed up.
And he simply told us how to know that one thing is your passion and the other is just a hobby..
I thought all this time I always know the difference.
Apparently, not.
Yes, passion is something you do, even you don't get paid.
But, the difference is like this, it is your hobby if you do it in you spare time, and when you get a little bit boring with your passion. It's just basically like a refreshment.
When your hobby facing challenge, you nope out of there and just go away.
While your passion is something you love to do, and when you find difficulties, instead of going away, you face those obstacles, and keep moving on. In the end, you got rewarded by better skill.
There I have it.
For now, I'm pretty sure writing is my passion.
Because, believe me, there are many things in my head running all around in daily basis.
I'm curious about many things in this world.
Silly I know.. But this is me.
I feel if I can't express those questions, I better just write it down.
Write them all down make me happy.. Make me feel better.
Oh, and because now I'm working in a field that is a little bit different with my education background, now if I met new people and told them my degree, they will question me same thing, like "Oh, you are design graduate, so you're working in design agency? Oh no? Why?"
The question from me -in my head and my mind- would be WHY NOT?
There is nothing wrong to work in a different field from your degree.
As long as you love it, doing no harm to other people and you can pay the bills right?
I like design, I really do. But as much as I like it, I don't love it.
Not like writing. I love words, learning new phrases, new words, and even I love thesaurus.
Don't get me wrong, but learning new vocab every single day is fun for me.
Another thing I love is communicating and presenting ideas to people.
That's why I'm thinking having a master scholarship in communication or PR major.
Why not design?? Again, I don't love it, and master in design for what job actually??
I dont have any visions to become a design lecturer in future.
And really I dont have any visions to work in design field..
But my life still related to design btw, as I'm working as a freelance designer.
Freelance, not main job.
Nice income.
My life is pretty good now, as I have my passion as my main job, and my hobby as my side job.
Best of both world.
So, people, if you want to work in bank after you graduate from your design school, do it!
If you want to work in fashion world after you graduate from law school, just fucking do it!
Nothing worse if you have to work in something you don't love, simply just because your degree doesn't related.
Could you imagine yourself stuck behind those piles of work and you just kinda like it??
It's gonna be a joke, IMHO.
So, yeah, find something you love, you passionate, find the way to apply on that, and enjoy your job -even sometimes you dislike it, it's life after all- !
