carEeR opTions

Hey hey.. I have been reading people's blogs. This article is created by brendon. It may sound logical or silly to you, but i just want to share it around. It is quite interesting, although...



Ever wondered about career options in future? Well, here's a little breakdown on some of the common occupations available! (It even comes with ratings!)
------------------------------------------------------
Career: Office Worker
Requirements: At least an 'O' level certificate
Job Description: This job is perhaps the hardest of all career options. Firstly, we all begin from a simple secetary, and slowly rise up the corporate ladder. This job can be time consuming as there are too many things to do with too little time. Also, this job is perfect for people with great 'social skills'. Especially when it comes to dealing with demanding bosses. We can always use sweet words and praises to suck up. But DO NOT use too much of these as many bosses hate these 'sucker-ups'. Note: This is also the most unstable job in economic crisises.
Salary Range: S$1,000 to S$10,000 or more
Ratings: 4/10
-----------------------------------------------------------
Career: Hawker
Requirements: Lots of capital
Job Description: This job is defintiely tougher than any other jobs out there. You will have to awaken in the wee hours and slog till the dark night. Also, a hawker must have very high constitution or else he/she may be unable to endure the harsh job. Social skills are equally important in this field as dealing with suppliers, employees and customers can be a problem. Another must for hawkers is to provide scrumptious food! This will attract more customers as word will spread about the quality you provide. Therefore, a reputation must be built up to attain customer loyalty and more customers. Note: This is not a stable job either. When certain disasters strike (e.g. Avian Flu), suppliers may run out of supplies to supply you. In economic crisises, people may be unwilling to spend money as well. So watch out!
Salary Range: If people like your food, S$5,000 and above. If people dislike you or your food, S$1,000 and below or negative.
Ratings: 6/10
------------------------------------------------
Career: Driver (Cab, Bus, Train, Logistics)
Requirements: A license to drive these vehicles
Job Description: This is definitely the least tiring job! But driving for long hours may be too tedious. For Taxi drivers, the job can be very tough when you drive the wrong places where you can't find customers. Also, when driving for too long, accidents may happen. Thus, DO NOT drive when overworked. Train drivers are different here. The route to travel is standard but accidents can still occur. Be it mechanical glitches or civilised suicides, all train drivers must be versatile to avoid these incidents, which is somehow unavoidable. Logistic drivers are those who transfer goods from one place to another. They too have to beware of being overworked and requires ample rest. Deliver the goods on time and efficiently and the bosses will definitely look upon you. If otherwise, you'd better switch jobs or it is going to be hell for you.
Note: Like EVERY job, this job is also unstable in an economic crisis.
Salary Range for Taxi Drivers: S$100 to S$500 (a DAY)
Salary Range for Bus or Train Drivers: S$1,000 to S$2,500
Salary Range for Logistic Drivers: S$1,000 to S$2,000
Ratings: 5/10
--------------------------------------------
Career: Celebrity (Singer or Actor)
Requirements: LOTS of charisma and natural talent. Professionally trained is acceptable too.
Job Description: This job is only hard and very tough at the beginning. Firstly, you must appeal to the masses ranging from sexiness to nerdiness. Also, you must be able to take criticisms, insults and stupid comments. A singer basically just needs to sell albums and be filthy rich. For an actor/actress, the path is rockier. A-list celebrities look down on you and hate mail gets sent quite frequently. And the press will definitely spread juicy rumours about you, so put on a brave front and deny everything.
Salary Range: S$0 to S$Millions!
Ratings: 10/10 if you have talent, otherwise, 0/10.
I think that's enough careers for now, for I have spent approximately half an hour conjuring up these nonsense.
