Honestly, I feel we all need to change our mindset about careers. Success isn’t limited to being a doctor, lawyer, or banker. If we don’t shift this thinking, we’ll keep passing the same pressure to the next generation.

We're the change we're looking for.

Someone finally said what so many of us have felt but couldn’t express 💔

For a dream to be realistic, does it need to come with a master’s degree?

Being a chef isn’t bad at all, but his mum… 😔

Every career matters, the society just doesn't get the memo and that's really sad

This is beautiful by the way🤍

This is beautifully penned, I’m actually speechless. You’ve said nothing but the truth and it’s quite crazy what the society has deemed acceptable and worthy. At the end of the day, to break free from the cycle, the first thing such a person must have is a daring nature. A daring nature to break the norm, defiance to do something different, and a strong will to stick with it till you break even.

When my extended family found out that I went for art class in ss1, they all just concluded that oh she's going to be a lawyer but when I told them that no oh I'm going in to mass communication, the silence was very loud. Some were na like but journalist don't get paid enough, look at your uncle he studied mass communication and not once has he used that degree, question am I my uncle ?

I think the people that changed dreams did so out of fear and comfort. It's better to be well fed and miserable than hungry and miserable, don't you think?

Also, maybe they just had a change of heart. Anyhow sha.
