Worrying for Future...

As usual, played Tennis with Xiao Ping & friends on Saturday... This Saturday we had Zhen Pin & Yang Chao...

Everyday we heard from Medias saying that our economy is blooming, but heard another company retrenching again....
The previous time I heard retrenchment was a few weeks back, a friend in Aerospace industry, working in an Engine overhaul business. I stunned... If aerospace engine companies retrenched people, what will be left? I wondered... Can Avionics field stand firm? haha...

Another retrenchment incident that I heard, this time round was Food & Beverage industry. The company has kind of shifted their HQ to China. This is even scarier! China & India... The most population countries in the world.

They are more hardworking, more capable.... Most vital... They are CHEAPER! I believed that this is a threat not just encountered by Singapore. Any other parts of the world encounter the same problem especially those developed & developing countries. Currently, I am still young. Up to capabilities & hardworking, I am quite sure I can compete with them. But how long can I withstand their competition? The worst scenerio is if I am 40 with a family of 2 kids & I were to be retrenched... This is SCARY!

This few weeks I had been thinking... What are the skills or paper qualifications can I have so that I will not have to worry for retrenchment problems... I got some answers... Pilot & Doctor... Kind of far from me... haha... License Aircraft Engineer... Sounds great, a very marketable license. After signing 6 years of bond, I feel that I was not ready for another 8 years of bond. At least not the first 1-2 years... haha... But after this 1-2years, I may not have the opportunity... haha...

Another solution is to be the master of all... haha... Is that possible??? Will have to try to be 1, then I will know! haha...
