I'm doing 6 things
I should have done this about 5 years ago. Whenever I talked about dropping out of the CA program back then, friends and collegues around me said it was a senseless thing to do, considering the fact that I invested so much time to become a CA and having come so far, as I only had to pass the final exam to become a CA. To them, I guess having “CA” at the end of their names was a worthy investment. To me the time spent was a sunk cost and I wanted to eliminate further losses. Nonetheless, I convinced myself to listen to the ones who’ve been around longer than myself and stuck with the program and got the two letters.
However, the feeling that this isn’t what I want to do, what I am “born to be” (so to say), lingered on even with a good career path I enjoyed. So here I am, taking steps to find myself out first. Sadly, I don’t remember what I am truly like, good at and interested in after all those years of training to be successful.
It may be an impudent thing to do, but I’ll die happy that I tried to be who I am, not what I should be in the society’s eyes :)
