Was talking to my colleague about getting an MBA, and she said, "You aren't even serious about this [my current job]. Why bother?"
I guess the vibe is going around.
I am not saying I want to leave right at this moment. However, I will be extremely disappointed in myself if 5 years down the road, I am still doing the same crap.
This industry lacks heart and the human factor. The money is good if you are willing to live like a soulless money-sucking zombie. My manager and I once worked on a case involving an 80-year-old woman suffering from leukemia who got all of her money robbed by her son. She tried to get her money back so she could get proper treatment, but because we "must abide by the law," she got zilch from us. And instead of showing some sympathy, my manager made fun of her having leukemia. I was horrified.
This is the kind of people I am surrounded by 10 hours a day, and I am trying hard not to let their "industry-savvy (meaning 'I don't give a **** about anyone else but me' " side get to me. No wonder I am finding it harder and harder to write anything good these days. Given that I don't get to interact with loving and caring human beings at all, how am I supposed to write up anything that can touch people's heart?
