I got a job!

Yesterday, I have accepted PWC's offer job as coporate tax associate. In the contract, I indicated that I will be commencing work on 2nd Jan 2008. (Is it too soon? But I can't wait to earn $$$) Anyway, I sent back the contract by mail. Hopefully, the HR will receive it soon as the deadline is next friday. I will probably give them a call next Tuesday to check if they have received my contract and also to clarify some issues. I hope I have made the right decision.

A few days back, I received the offer from MOE too but after much consideration, I think PWC offers better prospects. My ultimate aim is to teach in teritary education so by choosing PWC, I could be specialised in tax and also I could purpuse higher education. I was surfing the master programme in SMU and NTU. Both are quite attractive.

I didn't go for the Credit Suisse written examination as I don't think I will like working in product control.

SMU: Master in Professional Accounting (Part-time: 2 years. Cost $26k. Up to 4 exemptions)

a

NTU: Master in Business Administration (Part-time: 2.5 years. Cost $32k)

a

Both need some working experiences, a good degree (Honours) and GMAT. They have direct entry into getting a CPA. I might consider furthering my studies after 1 or 2 years of working in PWC. Nowadays, having a degree is not enough as almost everyone can get one. So in order to differentiate yourself, it would be better to go for post-graduate studies. Anyway, my main reason for wanting to pursue further education is to increase my chances of teaching in teritary education.

Right now, school is almost coming toward the end. It is already week 10 of my final semester. In another 5 weeks time, it will be the end of the semester!!! Next year, I will be joining the workforce in Raffle Place. Every morning rush and squeeze with everyone in the MRT to work. (Sound so sian) And I have to wear working clothes. No more t-shirt and jeans and slippers. Sobz...I hate to wear heels as I always get blisters.

I realised that I am getting fatter. I got 3 tyres at my tummy area!!! and my arms are getting so flabby!!! I really need to push myself to do some exercises. I have been so lazy recently. No energy to jog in the park at all. Maybe later this evening, I should go jogging. Hopefully, it won't rain.
