A friend of mine has decided to go back to HK to further his education and will most likely stayput thereafter. I am happy for him that he finally moves forward and seems that he knows exactly what he wants. I wish him the best of luck, and it should be interesting to see how everything would turn out in a year or two.
I haven't really had time to bond with this friend for a long time, and since I'm very tired from all the weekend overtime, I decided to give myself a little break, so I called him up and arranged a lunch meet. We caught up a lot, and we also talked about his last job. He used to work for a very famous game company here in Vancouver. And he said that he realized that he was in the wrong path in his career 3 months after he started to work there, not only that he didn't really have the desire to do gaming, but also he just hated the whole gaming culture, he felt that he didn't belong there, and yet, he realized that it would do him no good if he quitted at that point. So he hung on to his job until he finished a game from start to end. He described that he had to work with a bunch of people that basically had nothing in common with, and that kinda get met thinking...
I think the situation that i'm currently in is quite similar to his case. The only difference is perhaps I have bigger drive to overcome the problem given the circumstances. So what do you do when you realize you are working with the wrong crowds? You become one of them? or you change them? It all boils down to the question of gain or lost. Do I gain more by becoming one of them? Or vise versa. From the current economic trend, I think stayput might have been the best move. Sigh...
