If I may ask, what did you study at college, borders?

Borders said...

I majored in International Relations. Fresh graduate :)
If I was in Turkey, I could work in the Foreign Affairs Dept or so but since I live here now, I shud look for some other career opportunities. Im planning to start my masters degree here and continue studying. Looks like the best option right now. Or even I might start all over again and study something else like business or banking. Oh, as u see Im lost :)

So you're new in UAE! I thought you've been to here for long. Haven't you tryed to find a job in AD? In your country's embassy for example.
I wouldn't think to study again if I were you, do you still have the energy to start again? I graduated summer2008, last year, and I feel I lost all the energy I used to have when I was an undergraduate since then, I became such a lazy bum. However, I'm planing to do the master too, but the problem that the admission's requirements need a full-time student, and as u know I'm working and I doubt I will be easily given a leave for whole 2 yrs to study.

Yes, its been 10 months since I got here :) At first, I was trying to get used to the marriage, house chores and UAE. Then I started to go to an Arabic language school, then travelled to Turkey. Before I know it, it was already Ramadan. Since then, Im looking for a job but no to avail. I have connections with my own embassy but they dont need to hire staff at the moment. Im not looking for a particular position actually, anything that I could enjoy doing would be fine :) Having no experience in a specific field and lack of arabic knowledge are I think the main reasons why Im still unemployed. Still, I have hope :)

And I still have energy to continue studying, I can do it forever :) I love my major and would love to go further in the field. I was going to do my masters before getting married but my husband couldnt wait for 2 more years :) Now Im considering Sorbonne in Abu Dhabi although I hate the French system, couldnt find any other options in AD. Their master classes start at 3pm, so I can still work and study at the same time (if my future job will let me get off before that). But If i decide to study sth else, then this time I'll make sure that it gives me a "title" (which isnt the case in my dept.) :)

Oh my God, I wrote my life story!! Someone shud tell me to stop when Im writing! :s
