Almost everyone's got a bombastic job. Either in a multinational company, or got an awesome job title. Yup I'm being the sour grape here, for being a teacher in a preschool. I mean, I'm glad about it, but from comparison, of course I would lose too much to someone who's working in "Ernst and Young", or someone who's a Chief Operation Officer, or whatever...
You know?
I'm not working under the government, so no "Works with the Ministry of ..."
I'm not working in a multinational company.
I don't have a bombastic job title.
I don't even earn that enough.
I'm surviving, I'm contented. But I can't help wondering if it would be different. If I haven't made up my mind to work with kids that early, would I have taken some time to wonder a little, try this and that. Jump into a demanding company, meet lots of different people, get involved in larger than me projects, earn big bucks, get flown here and there... Because I know I am capable of those. I see people less capable than me doing it big, challenging their work and growing tall. Yet I'm here. Working at a place the society perceives as "for not-so-high-achievers", earning average, handling jobs that do not require high intelligence but skills, unstressful easy job that 'everyone can do, but would do only temporarily, or after they retire'.
I know this is what I want. And I'm happy doing it. But just can't help to wonder, if it would have been different..
