Grrrrr I've been waking up to tummy upsets every morning for a week already. Which can only mean one thing cuz there is only 1 reason every time this happens. I am starting to feel the stress!!!

I used to tell people that I chose to major in Finance only because I couldn't make heads or tails out of Accounting. Yet in my last semester of studies, I've found out what I wanna do. It's not the case of where my degree can take me anymore, rather where I wanna go with my degree. I'm so glad to have finally found a direction I WANT to head towards to, and not one I have to take due to parents/peer/society pressure.

I used to also feel a tinge of regret for not doing Accounting because then, at least it would have been a profession and I would have something to fall back on. Now, I see the big picture. An accountant's pay is attractive right after you graduate, there are (very) frequent pay revisions, then you hit the 7 digit mark easily after you become a partner in one of the big 4s.

That said, I have no regrets whatsoever now simply because I love love love what I'm doing :) We investors create our own pay. There are so many things you can go into. Like oil trading haha lucrative remuneration man, especially since Singapore is the 3rd largest oil trading hub in the world. We study money, and probability in Quantitative Finance for 3 years - it would be a shame if we still didn't know what to do with it.

I'm just glad I've finally found my direction :)
