Today in History

On 29 October 1929, ”Black Tuesday,” Stock Market crashes triggering “The Great Depression”.

nostalgicallyjaded:

I’ll tell you one random thing that gets me so curious these days. 

It all begun when my previous classmate from engineering told us that he recently passed a Broker Licensure Exam. I just failed to bombard him with questions that time for I didn’t have any idea what to ask, and how to absorb his answers which might be filled with business/financial jargons. In short, I didn’t want to look dumb. Who does anyway?

I don’t know if he finished Engineering, but I bet he didn’t. Never heard of him doing so, or maybe, he dropped out. He is the type of guy who belongs to the geek-looking category but is not a geek-slash-nerd at all, is physically incapable of breaking someone’s body part, and socially incapacitated of offending another person. In short, he’s head-over-heels nice, quiet, shy, and harmless. With that in mind, I wonder how he’d pull it off.

But his stockbroking skill is not what I’m contemplating about. 

… It’s me, my communication skills, my career, and my future financial standing.

Though I’m working for the contact centre industry, I couldn’t set aside the fact that it is for a financial service provider and that we are required to learn procedures, laws, and money-making business strategies at work. And to think that I am enjoying an office environment, sitting on a comfy reclining chair, and facing the computer all day while talking, doing Maths, and devising tactics, it makes me want to excel and keep it as a career ‘til the time I have to retire.

However, I’m taking up Engineering, and considering such path would make me shift to a business or a finance degree. (Sigh.) I’m so fickle-minded.
