job number one seems the best to me, it isnt much less in wages once you have taken out the food and travel expenses and it has more flexible hours and a longer contract


myLot reputation of 87/100. shalli17here (534)   ranked 131 out of 981 in be successful  11 months ago

hi barbie, thank u for ur responses..=)

and what if, because of u choosed the 1st choice u lost a gold opportunity on the 2nd company? that perhaps, it will lead u to a successful life with a higher salary? aren't u will regret it?

if i may know ur reason, what is ur further expectation to choose the 1st job?

I think the success would depend on the temperament and the attitude of the person concerned. I would be more inclined to work the flexible hours but I don't think I would last long there because the money is too small. I'd want something better. Cheers!!


myLot reputation of 87/100. shalli17here (534)   ranked 131 out of 981 in be successful  11 months ago

some says that there are a different between men and women purpose in life and to work. a female can be a successful business women if they want it, but they would also think about their family, their kids. what if they wont have a time for their kids if her life is just working n working n working?

for men it's a must to have a job and specially not just a job, but career! coz its their responsibility to earn money so they can fulfill his family needs.

so i think, ehm..it depends on our priority in life..which one comes first?

but heyyy..thank u for ur responsessss=D im not only happy coz u guys answered me, but i do like a discussion n sharing thoughts, so thank u=D

I would choose the first job, because flexable working time is important to me. The second job has a higher salary ($600 instead of $500) but money is not that important to me, and the first job appeals more to me than the second one. Another thing is that the job as internet trainer would be more interesting to me than a job as an insurance underwriting staff. I also like the idea of working 2 or 4 hours instead of 9 hours, because that would give me the chance to spend time on other things than work. The flexibility is the most important thing to me, though.


myLot reputation of 87/100. shalli17here (534)   ranked 131 out of 981 in be successful  3 months ago

hi porcospino=D

thank you for your advises, i am in the 1st job right now. and you're right too, we have the same thoughts because i prefer work in a flexible time to a fixed time. yes, the internet instructor is very interesting, makes us don't feel like we're working but more to a fun works and entertaining. we also meet new people from our students..

i got more job offers lately and lol i'm still thinking to stick to this one, but i don't know unless i need more new experiences and knowledges to improve myself..

thank u for ur response porcospino=D

i think i choose the first choice. i like the job will be give us flexible time and off course it can make us to search other alternatives or additional to make money beside this job.. maybe because i want to make a entrepeneur not to be employee

myLot reputation of 90/100. adhyz82 (1066)  1 month ago

wow. nice to know that palembang guys here in mylot. where do you live in palembang? i had ever visited palembang 1 years ago. . maybe the salary in every city is not same my friends. btw, Palembang is growth city too. i think Palembang is the second biggest city in Sumatera island after Medan


myLot reputation of 87/100. shalli17here (534)   ranked 131 out of 981 in be successful  1 month ago

hi Niko, hi Adhyz=D

sorry if i'm late replying your posts..oh-oh about the $500 and $900 salaries, it was just an example, friends lol it's impossible for us to could get a big salary like that as a fresh graduated employee hahah..the average salary is just between $100 - $200, Niko. So it's really the same with in Palembang.

I'm working as an IT Support now, Niko. If it's ok to ask, what you do for living and have you feel satisfied with the salary?=D

thanx alot guyz, and happy Mylotting=D
