A job, or occupation, is a person's role in society. More specifically, a job is an activity, often regular and often performed in exchange for payment. A person can begin a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, starting a business, or becoming a parent. The duration of a job may range from temporary to a lifetime. – Wikipedia
ULTIMATE DREAM
To get a decent job or to work in an environment with your desired compensation is one ultimate dream of someone who just finished college. And it is already a part of someone’s dream even while still studying.
I don’t know about others but to work is my purpose and the reason why I study hard. I did my best in school so I won't be having failing grades for having one may cause me to add another semester or even a year in my stay in school. I thank God that He guided me all the way.
Well some other purpose why people need to go to school is to be able to establish a business or manage an existing business after graduation. This is for those who are wealthy and their parents are actually running an existing business already that they just have to succeed or take over their parent's place.
But in general, I can say that to acquire a decent job is the major reason why people go to school. And that is true to myself. I studied hard because i wanted to land a job right after graduation in college.
PHARMACIST IN THE HOUSE
I just graduated last year and luckily passed the board exam for Pharmacist, now working as Pharmacist in one of the chain of drug stores here in Cagayan de Oro City. I considered myself lucky and blessed at the same time because I still have former classmates that still weren't able to pass the board exam until now. I am the first and only Pharmacist so far in the whole clan.
I should have worked with my mom’s employer but I opt not to for a lot of reasons. Although I am not closing my door about being employed with the employer as my mom but definitely not this time. I considered myself still too young to enter into a more serious responsibility and I still want to enjoy life while I’m still young.
Yes I passed the board exam when I was at the age of 20, now I’m 21 and on to completion of my first year of employment.
My job taught me a lot of things and the most important learning that I got is on how to deal with different kinds of people. I get to mingle with them every single day being our customers aside from having to interact with my co-workers.
Aside from that I also became particular with finances, I mean on how to spend my hard earned money. Meaning I now have the ability to keep a budget and live with it.
And being a member of a large family, I have 4 siblings, all of them are in private school so I felt the need for me to help my parents. Although both of them are working but still their income could hardly suffice the whole family’s needs.

MY TIME TO HELP
So just like my father @long888 (he was a Pharmacy Assistant of Mercury Drug Corporation that time) who started to help his parents at the age of 20, now it’s my turn. And I am happy to have the chance, I pledged to pay for my brother’s tuition starting this month, he just entered high school with a yearly school expenses of more than 40,000 pesos or around 700-800 USD.
Honestly, I find it as a heavy load on my part at an early age having a responsibility like this but I wanted to make my parents happy and proud of me. Aside from the fact that I am also happy helping my siblings and that something that I can be proud of myself.
And as long as I am alive and single or even when I already have my own family, I will not cease to help my family in any way I can.
God bless us all!
