What is the last thing you purchased?

Ha ha ha! And I have come to terms with the fact that I could never afford a car or house in cash from an employee's salary (where I work)

not everybody is cut out to be the boss...
many have to mature into the position first..
others are content and more effective, being somewhere below the apex.. and they know that if boss-ness were thrust onto their laps, they would probably make a big mess of it..

look at spock.. riker.. chekov.. sulu.. crusher.. they had to mature first..

in my field of work, we playfully call boss-ness, the "administrive trap".

That's true. I think I'm not even cut out to be in the corporate world. I don't like managing people too. But I don't have much choice, I have to earn living and I'm too risk averse to get into business.

if you are amenable, go to medical school. i think your personality will fit in.
walang sikreto on passing dito.. only a big chunk of tiyaga.
o sige.. a truck-load of tiyaga!

That is what my Dad wanted. I'm too old to study again. I did not consider medical school because I am afraid of hospitals. I consider being a doctor a vocation. I don't think my heart is that golden and strong to handle the job of a doctor. That is why I look up to doctors.

Doctors are a prize catch, top of the pyramid when it comes to desirability (at least among my family and friends) :bwahaha:

Doesn't matter what industry. Hard work, Results and ambition and timing will get you there. Ask for more projects, responsibilities and visibility. Don't settle for the work they give you. Always be hungry for more. And you will have to learn how to manage, lead and level-up your people and bring out the best in them. The best leaders aren't always the brightest or most skilled. But they can bring out the maximum from the team that they lead. That's what management wants and needs. You have to be a force multiplier.

alas, many doctors end up marrying their groupmates or their nurses..
sino ba naman ang nakikita nila araw-araw, gabi-gabi, for the 9 or so years of training in the school-hospital..?

besides, it may be a bit of a gamble marrying "outside the profession".. mahirap rin intindihin "bakit hindi siya umuwi na naman kagabi.."

o sige na.. likana! mag-duktor ka na..

^ha ha ha! That is so true. Time was always a problem! But I heard med reps marrying doctors. Is that common too???

I remember during my Lolo and Lola's time, a family (children) should have at least one doctor and lawyer.

yes.. we have that.. but... somehow, the ones i know.. didn't last.
i may be "lifting up my own bench" when i say, "the status level ain't the same", but... that's the truth.. at least from my classmates' point of view. and.. strangely, the crack does not seem to emanate from the doctor's end..

Ha ha ha. I guess for doctors it's considered marrying down. Doctors are on top of the food chain in the medical field kasi.

i would be a hypocrite if i said i am not flattered..
but really.. marami sa aming kasal sa non-doctor na ok naman.
for some reason, the marriages between doctors and medreps... seem to have a higher drop-out rate than the other combinations..
