The Shipping Industry


A highly mis-understood industry. Prior to what I've found out about the maritime line, I've always had this sterotypical notion of the maritime industry being a sunset one and is mostly dominated by males. Actually in reality, maritime industry is not THAT boring and lack of prospects afterall. Based on what I've read and the emphasis that has been placed on the maritime industry, in my opinion, career prospects are aplenty.

Seriously, I'm considering signing up for this industry talk in school organised by Singapore Maritime Foundation. It is always good to keep our options open. Anyone from school and who is reading this wants to sign up with me? Haha.

By the way, my mum's in the shipping line. What an irony. To have a such a fallocious notion about the maritime industry when my mum is working there. Sheesh.

Haha, let's see if I'll follow my mum's footsteps or my dad's.


Shipping vs. Business


Well, I think I'm more steered towards business (prolly kena brainwashed by my dad). HAHA.

Major sidetrack; It suddenly dawned on me the reason my mum likes Jax so much could be the plain fact that he's studying Maritime Studies. You know, the idea of common association. Its akin to the association bias-ness, female profs practise towards female students in her class who are also previously from an all girls' school. (Yah, this is really true, cos my HCM prof favours students from non co-ed schools) Anyway, my point is, perhaps, the reason why my mum favours Jax is because he's in the maritime course. Sounds logical?

Nah, It's just plain dumb speculation.
