Breaking free of systems
I am no longer employed. For anyone to survive in the corporate world, one has to follow some rules. If you want to pursue further studies, you have to study for it along with your job. You have to manage to keep your boss happy and at the same time squeeze more time out to study and ace your exams.
If you are someone like me who wants to be the best at both the avenues, chances are you will fail miserably. Because a happy boss means doing more work, whereas a good score means putting in intense hours of study.
Ultimately, I decided to let go of my job and give in more time to prepare and ace the exams. I am also going to use this time to explore more career opportunities which are better-suited for me and my skillset.
It takes a lot of courage to challenge systems and pursue something which doesn't fit the prevalent frameworks in place.
But there's always light at the end of the tunnel and I am hopeful that I will put my all my heart and soul to make the best use of this time.
