Career talk again

This is like the gazillionth time that I (and many people) talk about career etc, I mean... will this ever end?

The new crop of management trainees
I look at the new batch of management trainees here, young, innocent, fresh out of college, energetic always with that huge grin on the face and a cheerful "Good Morning" everytime you see them at the hallway. I used to be one of them, and know I know exactly how people felt about us when we first joined. Just wait, maybe 1 year/1.5 year, and we will see if you can sport that cheerful nature and humongous smile again. If yes, fair enuf good for u, if not welcome to the club.

On leaving
Such a huge relief when I finalised my resignation from here. It is like a huge burden off my shoulders. When I went against basically everyone's opinion and joined here, people were almost shocked on why I did it. Had to deal with comments like "you selling ciggies or what", or one from my favourites was when I went to UK to conduct training, and someone asked me in serious tone "what u doing there, are u training people to smoke?". Me being a non-smoker, and strictly against it.... it made me feel like a total immoral person.

I am no engineer
I think most people have no idea what my job is. My Family at least have no idea. Some even think I am still an engineer. Even when I explained to them what I do, I dont think they understand. They have got this ciggie image in their head, and when trying to superimpose that with the image that I tried to portray of what I do, it does not make sense. My dream was to be an architect, but I am beyond that already. Dream to be an engineer in oil n gas..... over that as well.

SAP no more
SAP is such a lucrative industry, and I am leaving it so it does not make sense. People always say that the chance will come with patience. I think they are absolutely right but I'm leaving anyways. And on my new job.... I cant even explain what the job is in detail to other people. To be truthful, I am not quite sure myself. It is strange that I feel 100% that its the right thing to do when I am not even sure what my job scope will be.
