I was an engineering student. But after talking to my financial advisor 2 years ago, it made me interested in investing and managing my finances properly. And it also made me realize that no one is more interested in looking after your money other than you yourself.
Now, my interest is in finances. 0% in engineering...although at times, i will still use my engineering skills to help me solve some problems at work.
My dad happens also to be an engineer....back in those days, he pia to take on many many jobs. But now, strangely, he go more for the "relaxing" finances/trading as he said engineering projects "cannot do finish" (zhou buay liao). Professional work like this is more "manual I guess...
actually i think that all jobs are "never ending". You finish this task, another one is on the way...
sometimes they may even come concurrently...
im sure we all thank technology
but we are all being led by technology these days
imagine a day w/o hp or computer.... i bet many would be having withdrawal symptoms...
sometimes back to basics is good....
life is much simpler.....

i saw a video on youtube last time...It's about an angmoh who's so totally dependent on technology for his work. He can't live without his hp and laptop for a day!
so wat happened to him when he did not have his hp and laptop with him for a day?
died?
died?
not die lah...lol
but i can't remember the ending...just that he is totally reliant on IT gadgets...not sure whether is the video still available...
no die then no impact lah....
if that person dies, i think the headline would be something like "IT kills!"
Technology is a two edged sword... it makes you accessible to alot of information and being able to contact and chat with alot of friends on the move. It even allows trading while being mobile. The downside your boss can find you easily
