Insights on Vacation Jobs.
YOU ALL GOTTA READ THIS LOL!
Right it's still vacation for most of us nomads who have no JC to go to or even those who didn't apply for any.
So people start to find jobs and find jobs and this continues till they find one. Ok let's begin with myself. I work at New York Pizza in Century Square, as my shop name implies I bake pizzas collect money and throw trash. Note: Throw Trash. Ok throwing trash. Most people think throwing trash is a disgrace. Is it even a disgrace? To me, its a job just like any other but people just coin it to be 'disgraceful'. You throw the trash, you see familiar faces, and they point the tips of their noses up high when they bump into you. Ok then what's not disgraceful? Drawing pay higher than your mates, working at a 'high-class' label? Screw it.
Not ashamed to say I'm getting paid $3.70 compared to my other peers in the range of $5-7 dollars an hour. I think worth is what you give yourself and not what the company pays you. I mean at this point where of course money is important to people of my age for the weirdest reasons everyone wants a job that pays, right? Okay just to add to my previous sentences, what the company pays you now is nothing but a monetary measure. No one really gives a damn about people like us out there w/o any proper qualification except for a PSLE cert, serious.
People comparing how much they earning with each other, it'll never cease one lah. Amusing that people work JUST for the cold hard cash to burn and ending up with two digit figures in their banks. I mean, fuck it don't really matter how much I earn right now, I'm serious but at least I got a glimpse of whats its like to get a payslip and bring it home. Thats the drive.
People say, wah so low the pay so low the pay over and over again so what? I mean for now its like spending time away trying to fit into society for a little while and then its back to school for us. Paper qualifications mean more in the future when we re-enter the society to work and all, so this time I'm a little more determined to make it.
What I feel is, people may mock you now cos you're getting little pay compared to them but my stance that if you're determined to get a better pay then you gotta work hard in school first then there's a chance for it. Then you can look back and say, hey you know what I'm earning _ times more than you now, so yeah.
For me, it was a preview of the School of Life. Quite interesting for me to be able to see such stuff through sharings with my friends and supervisor, and other people who work. Every man fends for himself, thats how work is like. Hardly anyone gives a damn if you be soft hearted and try to be garang. All you gotta do is prove yourself, that simple. Politics are used along the climb up the coporate ladder in any sector of work, well my thinking is that, I'd like to have none of those shit but it's just part of it so yeah. So we need not really care wtf our colleagues are bullshitting about us and all, so long as we do our job. I learnt that, I gave a damn when someone said something but after much thinking and getting advices its rather not worth to give a damn about what's gonna affect how we perform in work.
Thats my POV on Vacation Jobs.
Yup anyway I'm leaving for L.A so I might be shovelling snow and mowing lawns and even selling whatever. Bye readers!
