Thats an interesting story. I've heard that the state jobs can be for the apathetic, when you hit the point of no caring - you enjoy the cushy job, state benefits and lifetime job security. But for people who like feedback and challenge it is frustrating.
yeap.. the benefits were great in the government.. but i am not the person who runs to a doc everytime i sneeze..😆😆.. through the whole year that I worked at the gov't.. i only went to the doc once for a dumb pink eye..🤔..
i was sooo bored at the job that started writing.. i became a shayar..😆.. on a serious note.. i just felt that my talent was being wasted.. i wasn't learning anything.. i mean i had a lot of expectations from my first job..
the only benefit gov't jobs give you is job security and those 25 holidays a year..😆.. but for people like us.. who are fresh out of college..that hardly matters.. thats more for individuals with families.. there were people who worked at the agency for 20+ years.. 😲

I find it weird that your parents picked ad company. But I guess if it still lets you study more. I'm a business major, and all desis always ask me why I did not take financial management. Marketing is getting popular amidst people now, but a while back it was like why marketing - go into finance - there is more money. I think I made a wise decision by saving the finance types from enduring me, all I would have done in a finance job was suggest ways to make spreadsheets more exciting.
my parents were against me working all together.. they think you are still unpadh gawar even with a BA.😡😡. they didnt even acknowledge it..😕.. they wanted me to start my post graduate degree right out of school.. Plus most of my cousins work for IB banks here and parents see them working 12-15 hours daily..getting called to work in the middle of sunday barbques..😆😆.. they knew i'd hate that job.. it would have been tough to pursue my studies further..

Sometimes I think desi folks can be very hard on you on the income levels and status level of jobs. Everyone gives me a hard time for being a farmer and a peasant. I'm more sales/customer service/marketing but when your annual company meeting is in a farm and the basic dress code is jeans or overalls most likely coated in dirt - you are nothing but a peasant. Oh well they gave me an uber cool weatherproof jacket today. It will be handy in the rains and fleecy snow. They gave me a sweatshirt last year which is excellent for fall. I'm a Wisconsin girl, winter gear and snow boots make my day.
wow.. tht sounds exciting.. 😛.. my company code isnt exactly formal either.. no suits no nothing for all the departments except mines.. i am in Corporate Acct.. they feel we need to be a lil formal as we have to often go meet with company executives... but I dont mind cuz i like to dress up.😆😆.. i love the company office though.. its real coool and trendy.. each floor has its own color theme.. hot pink.. yellow, purple, green, blue .. with a lot of games and stuff..

So you plan to take GMAT and LSAT. Ambitious! That reminds me, I ought to think of GMAT soon. I figured it just sounds better when you say you have an MBA. The desis respect MBA's more than farmers too.
Desi's do respect an MBA more.. 😕...i took them last year.. i got into a joint degree program.. doing it part-time though.. its gonna be ages before i complete my degree.. 🤔..
