I can never, ever, ever, ever make any decisions for myself unless I'm forced to. If not, I'd gladly let others make the decision for me, no matter what the outcome is. But then now, I realised, 12 days prior to the first paper of my A'levels, letting others make decisions for me pertaining my education has become somewhat...taking its toll on me.

I guess it's a little too late to realise that only now so the only thing that I can possibly do now is make the best out of it..whatever I can, really. But after this, whatever decisions that I have to make, I solely have to depend on my ownself. I can't rely on my parents to decide what's "best" for me because...they don't really know.

For now, I've decided that if my A'levels pull through, it'd be straight to NIE for me. Yes, this noonoohead wants to go towards teaching as my career, got any problem with that? Heh. NUS or NTU is still within my options but there's not much courses there that have this magnetic pull towards me besides Psychology which I neatly ruled out. Haha, don't ask why.
So yes, second choice would, of course, be teaching and NIE couldn't be a more perfect choice. Besides, it wouldn't cause such a financial drain on my parents for me to pursue my tertiary education there. Who wouldn't want all expenses being paid for, plus a monthly allowance of $1,600, no? No, it's not about the money which attracted me in the first place. I've always had the dream of becoming a teacher before I knew such occupation like the psychologist existed. It's about time that I'd get to live my childhood dream, eh? Haha.
Ohwell, better not talk so much about it now. I've still got Chemistry to pass -_-"

Ohh I came across this interesting article about which jobs have the highest rate of depression.

"Almost 11 percent of personal care workers — which includes child care and helping the elderly and severely disabled with their daily needs — reported depression lasting two weeks or longer.
During such episodes there is loss of interest and pleasure, and at least four other symptoms surface, including problems with sleep, eating, energy, concentration and self-image. Workers who prepare and serve food — cooks, bartenders, waiters and waitresses — had the second highest rate of depression among full-time employees at 10.3 percent.
In a tie for third were health care workers and social workers at 9.6 percent. The lowest rate of depression, 4.3 percent, occurred in the job category that covers engineers, architects and surveyors."
