How do you know...?

In all the career musings that are currently occupying my mind, I came across this one:

How do you know that what you think you want to do is the most suitable thing for you?

If I had never worked at the fat firm in Singapore, I would have seriously lived out my last year of uni thinking that I would prefer to work in a small firm doing Family Law. I would have been all "I SO don't want to work in a big firm working with corporations! I want to make a difference to people's lives." But having worked there, I realised that I really enjoyed commercial law, and I enjoyed working with big high-profile clients. It was fun!

Having said that, however, I can't say that I've ever experienced life in a smaller-family-law-type firm. I could really enjoy it, and by not exploring this career avenue, might be passing up something that I could really get a kick out of. Who knows!! Definitely something to seek God about.

Sigh. This time last week, I was stoked to be going off to KPM& next year, appreciating that it was a great opportunity with a big 4 firm. But now I have something bigger and (presumably!) better within my grasp...I'm all nervous again because I now want this one soooo much more! Argh! I'm not pleased that I have entered the ranks of those-who-already-have-a-job-lined-up-but-aren't-satisfied-with-that-and-are-still-applying-for-more-jobs. Gah.

Back to my crib sheet, which is disturbingly empty as yet.
