I am proud to be a SG

Specialist Generalist. How a fellow SG friend described himself. He's in the midst of job hunting as his contract has ended. I could totally identify with him. He articulated the words with lots of conviction, even seeming a little proud, but the strength gave way to a cynic smile that followed.

To put it in layman terms, we specialise in being general. Everyone can be a specialist! Yep, back to to the term, I feel the same. Never regretted taking arts in Uni. I enjoyed it. It is the frustration of job hunting which really strangles and I wished to see more of "Degree in any discipline" in those job adverts.

Sometimes I think that it's as good as it gets. I've survived 3 years and there must be something that keeps me going. It might be corny but I suspect that it's coz of the bigger purpose in what I do everyday, knowing that my work would indirectly, in some remote way or another, bring about a better life for everyone. I think this bigger purpose is probably what attracts a SG. SGs are emotional people I think.

I'm in one of those positive, life is good moods again. Could it because of the short week ahead? High chance.

Selamat Hari Raya!
