I REFER to the letter, “Think twice, then jump confidently” (The Star, Nov 4). The writer has probably put a person’s career choice in the most appropriate perspective.
True enough, although getting a pension is an attractive part of public service employment, many bold, dynamic, confident and capable people look at the more important aspects of one’s career in the business world or private sector – life’s challenges and inner satisfaction. To them, it is more than ringgit and sen and security of tenure; it is the moulding of character in a competitive, innovative and creative environment that gives many a strong incentive to quit a comfortable job and go into another with an uncertain outcome.
