Good day

Today was an especially good day. First, I got to complete all my requirements for all my subjects (I just have t0 make sure that the grades are passed so that I would be able to march on our graduation). Later on, I learned that I got accepted to NEC, one of the companies I applied for. Late afternoon, I went through a job orientation with another company. It seems like things are falling in place (or so I think...). And moreover, we also had our division year-end party. Though I was somewhat involved in it, I kind of felt proud that next year's set of officers work well. What more could I ask for? Hehe

One thing that has been bothering me the past weeks is a matter of a career decision. I've wanted to work in Cebu ever since we went on an educational trip to the city. I've been accepted to four companies and am still hoping for a call from another company. So far, I've narrowed down my choices to Azeus (in Manila) and NEC (in Cebu). Comparing the two, I think I have the best offer from Azeus, and I really think its the best career oppurtunity for me. But something has been holding me back from fully committing to it. If I go to Manila, I would end up far away from the friends in Davao. I guess I have so much attachment to them and that's why I have such a hard time figuring out what to do. My friends in Manila keep on telling me that I should go for the best oppurtunity... but I think that the working environment would also matter. In Cebu, I would be close to the people I value... and that would make me perform better, in my opinion. I have until the 31st to make that decision... so I guess I need all the advice I need from people. So what do you think?

Your career won't advance as far if you are unhappy with your situation. I think even if you enjoyed the work and were doing well, you would always regret leaving your friends and the area you love when you had another option. If they are close in comparison take the one in the area that will please you more. If you work hard your career will advance just fine, might as well be happy while you are doing it.

congrats phil! hmmm.. what can i say? maybe you can go back to your GOAL... and weigh things out! the opportunities are there already.... how do you see yourself 5 years from now? maybe that could put direction to your decision. but, whereever you can do better and make a difference (especially to yourself!) then, that's the direction you should take. i hope that helps... :)
