Career Crisis..

The problem was inside me and now it has become a bigger problem than I thought it was. In a gist here's the problem I am facing just like the heading days I am in a career crisis.

Lately I have begun to be unsatisfied with my Job. As I said in one of my early posts that the people are being nasty ( though now its thankfully going down than before) the work I do has also become unsatisfying and kinda boring. I feel my skills are not tested here to my full potential and also I feel I am kinda taken for granted cos they expect me to know everything ( this is my first job you know.)So at the moment I am in a mess and with the Job Market not going well I can't think of leaving this also so double mess. :S

From the days I was a kid I always had the question in my head in what I want to do and what I want to become in life. Every time I wanted to do something I did let my elders ( Parents and Teachers )influence me to do something else. I had no choice those days cos I always thought they knew better than me (I still think they do ) and with the world going through various problems and crisis I was scared to take my own decisions ( the place I went wrong ) and did what my elders told me to do.

During my childhood I used to write poems and stories in both Sinhala and English (I still do and still very good at it I think)I wanted to become someone like J. K Rowling. But things were not good for authors in our country those days so without making a career I decided to do it as a hobby and I always believed ( and still believe) that a gift should not be used to earn money.

Then when I started to do my AL's I wanted to do in Arts but with the influence of my school teachers I went on to do Commerce. Then for my first Degree I wanted to do Business but ended up doing Business and IT. ( You might think this dude is a dumbnut well to an extent I am.. I guess..)

I know there is no use in worrying about the past now and should look into the future. But the problem is I DONT KNOW what to do.. :S Friends are telling me to do CIM and I kinda don't want to do it and wanna pursue an MBA. The thing is I don't know if its the correct decision :s. I asked my lectures about it they said that CIM and MBA are 2 different areas so choose the one that is appropriate for you. I am kinda scared to do CIM and also I am not a fan of marketing as well so all the points in my sense points to MBA but what I heard was it needs experience and that's again a problem for me cos I have only 1 year of experience so far.

I kinda feel like Chandler from Friends sometimes ( remember the episode where he says he doesn't know what he must do ?? At least he found out he is good at Data Entry operations hehe I am not there yet sigh.. )

So I am in a Career Crisis. I also don't want to take the wrong decision now cos I have done it so far and suffered a lot. The past cannot be changed but the future can be right ? lets wait and see . I am checking my options these taking my time to decide what I want to do. Hopefully it would be a good one and hope it will work out well for me =).
