Jenny@33--圣女 Maker No.1: job/city hopping

When she got into a big-name Ivy back in 2002, she wanted to have a medical career. But her parents pursuaded her to switch to ECON--"That's a once-a-centray opportunity!"

Yes, after she got her 1st job at a big-name IB, she earned her parents' bragging right--"My Jenny is making big money now!" They forgot to say that Jenny had to work 16-18 hours a day and had no time to date anyone there.

Two years later in 2008 came her first layoff, but she quickly found a job at a big-name consulting firm in another city. The five-days/week on the road job, however, offered her no life either. She quit in two years.

Then she landed a big-bank job in yet another city as a loan specialist in 2010. The job was not very demanding but the pay was not great either. The boring and tiresome job eventually led to her decision to get out of the financial industry two years later.

She got an math teaching degree in a year, and worked as a sub-teacher in a new city. She was dating a divorced teacher for a year, which was ended by a much younger new college graduate from China. Feeling humiliated, she promptly moved away.

Her friends back in the college days recently formed a start-up in the hottest online biz--P2P lending and offered her a two-year job in SF where the real estate market has been hot. The start-up has only a handful of people; but they are either 30-somethings or fresh out of college. So let's hope she can find her man there by the time her job ends in two years.

Lesson: Try not to chase the hottest major/job and do best to avoid job/city hopping.

Back from a party where people were asking why Jenny, the most beautiful and intelligent ABC girl of our town 10 years ago, is now still single.

The general consensus seems that her parents have been misleading her over her life so far.

It's past 12 am now. But I will figure out a way later to tell the story without revealing anyone's privacy. 

Good night...
