The last time I studied was back in early 2000. I told myself then to quickly finish and be done with studying, I never want to hit the books again. So it came as a contradiction that I've signed up for a MBA course. This is going to take at least 3 years to complete. Was it ambition or career progression that I'm putting myself through it again? I guess to a certain extent I hope this would open up greater opportunities for me. And this may be an avenue to move away from technical accounting. You see, accounting can be boring. It is repetitive, post-action, operational, mundane work. You can argue that finance portion of the roles are interesting, they are business partnering and contribute to the growth of business. But still, you are not really into the action, just providing empirical evidence of happenings and trends from the numbers you analyse.
So I'm taking a MBA to explore the opportunities. It may or may not allow me to branch out to my interest like project management. But I guess it is a good way to keep up with my peers who are also constantly upgrading themselves. It's part of the government's drive to improve the skill sets of Singaporeans. The only drawback is the cost, thankfully my last job paid well. I saved most of the bonuses for this. Hopefully I can earn enough eventually to let Meimei be a Tai-tai.
Sadly this means less holidays with Meimei since I don't have spare cash to spend. *kiss thank you for being so patient and understanding. We'll go for our honeymoon some day, I promise!
