Lights out Alice!
If by some Godforsaken punishment for your crime or repentance for unjust actions you have been reading my earlier posts (why doth torture thyself?), you would know that i had been struggling over a decision that would steer my life in a particular direction.
Yes, i hear you, that everything you do in life has consequences, but some consequences are more consequential than others. I have been mulling continuing with ESI for quite sometime now and i can't tell which one is the right decision.
Here are the details below:
I want to remain in Engineering and not just business and management, which ESI is right now. But, going forward, we can always venture into product development and racing, once ESI is stable. But is it worth the wait? Is it worth the sacrifice that i have to make for the first two years to go into this? The only option that remains if i go into ESI is a government job, which will make most of the certifications and design work that i have done pretty useless (or at least that seems to be the case from the outside). One option would be to go into ESI, while prepare for higher studies in the background, and then achieve that. But is that a guarantee?
Well, you just laughed at the previous sentence, didn't you? In life, there are NO GUARANTEES! But humans as we are, idiots that we seem to be, we keep thinking that security comes in the form of certain jobs. Certain jobs just ooze security as parents, and as parents (or my father to be exact) you are of the opinion that these are the only jobs available for a child to join.
I need to put my put down i suppose. Let it all go, choose a side, and see what stays.
Take a decision, then work to make it right!
Well, i keep thinking that because of ESI, i keep myself engaged, use it as an excuse for my inefficiency and that otherwise, i will slip into the comfort of laziness and put my efficiency on a downward spiral.
Don't know man...i don't seem to have an answer, even after considerable time and thought has been spent on this.
My partner in the company keeps telling me that he needs a partner and not a helping hand, and yet all i do is be his clerk. He hands all of his work down to me and then expects me to pick up the slack. To be honest, picking up the slack is fine, because that is what partners do, but i think this is borderline.
I don't even have somebody to advise me on this since i come from a family of employees, government or private and no one has any idea of a startup and how it works.
What am i gonna do Alice? Lights out!
