I met Betty for lunch the other day and got to know that they are expanding this year, expecting to hire more people. But if I go in, I'd have to start from scratch because I don't have any experience. Well, three months doesn't really count.
Earlier on she had reserved a place for me when I'm finishing my year 4 but the timing wasn't right so she gave it to one of her temp staff. If I were to join this time round, I would be more junior than him, which makes it awkward because he's younger and more experienced but my qualifications are above him. In addition, she has another 2 temp staff waiting for that full time position which makes it even more awkward if she had me fill in instead of them.
Anyway I'm just thinking out loud here. I had also researched on getting a part time Masters in financial engineering that will increase my chances of getting a great paying job dramatically.
Should I? One year of studies will cost 30k. It would be best if there's some sort of sponsorship if I join a bank, but I'm not quite sure if the cost of education is worth the lack of income.
Income: est 36k per year
Masters: 30k
If my increase in income is 1k after graduation, I would take 30 months or 2.5 years to recover my cost. That's even more than my whole 4 years of college! Sighs.
I don't come from a rich family, unlike some of my friends who can just go somewhere to study as much as they like and I'm already behind by 2 years of NS as compared to the female counterparts.
Career is so damn complicating.
