I’m a 22-year-old who’s been stuck ever since I finished my SPM. I went to college, like all my friends, and ended up studying something I have no interest in. I wasted a year of my life and RM10,000. I quit halfway and ended up working for the past four years. I changed jobs frequently because I’m unable to find something I like. Most are low-paying jobs that test my patience. I’m so angry at my current job that I’m afraid I might explode one day.
I’m considering going back to college but am confused about what to take up. I don’t have a diploma, and nowadays, most companies seem to want at least a degree. My parents are not that keen because I have a car to pay for now. The longer I work, the more depressed I get. I see my friends having the time of their lives, enjoying their youth in campus, hanging out with friends, doing assignments and getting involved in events. Meanwhile, I’m trying to please others and am unhappy with myself. I feel really depressed every day going to work and all I can think about is the the joy of submitting my resignation letter.
