It's freezing cold, windy and to make it even better it's drizzling the whole of this weekend seems terrible. I'm stuck in doors well apart from the occasional sneak out to get this or that.
It gets thicker.
Friday met a buddy for our usual periodic lunch/dinner just to catch on what's happening in our lives. He is in his last stages of his studies so we usually have a lot to talk about.
We used to be in the same college back in the day and moved kind of separate ways but we try to keep in touch. I was assuming he would pursue the finance option given his background but he tells me he is considering HR (!!). I understand his concerns what's the use of gaining exam qualification without the necessary practical experience. This is especially true within the accounting field - I'm sure it's the same about other professions. I don't why he wouldn't consider going back to Kenya - he seems to have closed that option. Nothing wrong with career change (logical incrementalism), but what happens if it is not easier to get jobs in that field after his studies?
Typical student population here considering to go back home is suicidal for one reason or the other. Maybe it is out of greed or unrealistic expectations. It is like Hollywood we know all about the big stars but rarely hear about the ones who lost it along the way. I have seen individuals who have struggled and really made it big career wise but sad too to meet those who kind of lost their vision. It can be rough.
Outside is quiet, cold and dark but morning will be here soon - there is still hope. I hope he realises his dreams even when it is dark.
No wonder the weather looks mean - but who said a good day has anything to do with the weather?
