I'm stuck in our family business. Stuck, because I still can't find a job that can pay me more than what my parents can give.
Being employed in my parents' business makes me enjoy a lot of perks. I have a flexible work schedule, although this means that I have to deal with those everyday "where-are-you text messages" 15 minutes before our office opens. I can also go on leave-of-absence with pay for as long as I have to keep my mobile phone open so I can answer office calls which comes in every quarter of an hour, and bear with "why-are-you-not-replying" messages for texts not answered within a minute.I have the power to create new office policies and the influence to implement them, but almost all policies that I made were changed by my "boss" after a month.
My mom always tells me that I will never get rich without having my own business. Yes, I believe her (I've always been a good daughter, hahaha). I, too, want to have a business of my own. But I repeat - OF MY OWN! Not something that they own. It's different, believe me.
What I am doing here at work is far way out of line from the education degree that I earned. But, as of now, I have to choose between money or career. I'm not yet blessed to have both. Why should I complain then, if I prefer to choose money, money, money!
Okay, the phone's ringing, and I have to get back to work. Ciao!
