One must always remind him/herself that the only way to start from the top is to dig. I understand the angst that you feel. It's the same way around me: I'm only 25 and I'm earning as much as one of my supervisors who've been working for 20+ years. As for the discrepancy sa sweldo sa province at sa Manila, it's supposed to be because mas mababa ang cost of living sa province. *Supposedly*: I think that that's already become a myth. I've heard of IT outfits in Clark and Subic na mataas ang pay. I guess they are exceptions. ems, The duality is this: Life is unfair when you don't deserve something. So if I'm hardworking and highly skilled but I get only a minimum wage salary life is unfair. Similarly, if I already have a job, am not looking for one, but lucrative offers keep landing on my lap while two people close to me can't find well-paying jobs, life is unfair as well. Life being unfair applies whenever an irony exists within it, whether that irony works for or against you. Ang family okay naman. :) Napakakulit na ni CJ. Kanina pagkatapos niyang kumain ng breakfast nagturo sa kusina. Akala ng yaya niya humihingi ng tubig. Pagdating sa kusina tinuro yung lalagyan ng toothbrush. Magto-toothbrush raw siya. I think that shows that half of the equation for her success is already in place :p Jay,

I understand the angst that you feel. It’s the same way around me: I’m only 25 and I’m earning as much as one of my supervisors who’ve been working for 20+ years.

As for the discrepancy sa sweldo sa province at sa Manila, it’s supposed to be because mas mababa ang cost of living sa province. *Supposedly*: I think that that’s already become a myth.

ems,

Am glad that because of my experiences, i have learned to overcome ungratefulness and loneliness... I believe in my heart that my future is in good hands with God (parang metrobank commercial ba? hahaha).. musta na ba ang buhay-buhay maliban sa trabaho? family, ok ba? awww i like your blog. however, pls pardon me for asking about the duality you mentioned in the first few sentences of your blog… heheheh.. asan yun? sorry medyo slow ang ate mo ngayon.

There are people that I know na ang gusto talaga e ibibigay agad ang trabaho/position na gusto nila. Minsan nawawala na yung meaning ng "ladder to success" kasi gusto nila elevator or escalator. Personally meron din akong angst, bakit si ano, ganito ang sweldo niya samantalang ako mas matagal na ganito pa rin. Pero there are things na hindi ko naman kaya ikontrol, basta ang alam ko ginagawa ko ang trabaho ko, kagaya ngayon nagcocomment ako habang nasa work LOL. (Break naman noh) Isa pa bakit nga ba ang laki ng difference ng rate sa Metro Manila sa ibang province? E pag tumataas ang presyo, ganun din kalaki ang tinataas dito sa amin, pati tax pareho naman ng binabayaran, pamasahe pareho ang minimum. *sigh* Skill + Experience = X where X = 40K.
