It's another Q&A portion for todays blog.I find this questions intresting so I will try to answer them.

So without further ado.Let's begin.

What is your dream job?

My dream job is to be a chef. Coz I love to cook different kinds of dishes. I also love to know more about cooking.

What is your biggest accomplishment till now?

I guess having my own house is my biggest accomplishment ever. Since I had my first born I really wish to have my own place. So having it now is already a big accomplishment. Been married for more than 2 years and finally last August 02 this year we finally live in our own small house.

What do you like most about your job?

I work as an internet cafe attendant and what I like about my job is the freedom to access free internet. At least I can find some side hustles while working.

Do you find something wrong with your work? What is it?

Nope. My work is fine. everything is fine.

What was your first job? How did you like it?

I started to work at the age of 15 years old. I just graduated High school at that time. Since my parents are not capable to send me to college so I decided to find a job in Cagayan de Oro City. My first job was as a saleslady at an RTW(Retail and Wholesale) store. My boss was a Chinese couple. I like my job entertaining different kinds of people mostly Muslim people. Dealing with different characteristics makes me understand and longer my patience. And I like my job since it's not that hard and we had time to relax. I had a very kind and generous boss.

Would you like to have a job or be an entrepreneur? 

I've been an entrepreneur before. I had to businesses before. I had a lending and agrivet business both didn't work out for me. So I guess I like better to have a job. But I wish I can work from home like my boss.

Are you a workaholic? If not, then what do you think about such people?

I am a workaholic. When I was a single mom I work more than 8 hours a day every day. I only take a day off on my birthday or my daughter's birthday. So it's like once or twice a year. Imagine I don't have much time for myself. But after I had my own family, I had to take a break every Sunday but I am still a workaholic since even if I am at work I still do side hustles so I can still earn even if I am on my day off.

What kind of work/job do you find most boring?

I think when I was a secretary/treasurer at a lending company. I really find it boring. My job is to release money for the customers, log the daily collection and that's it. I can't go anywhere aside from the place where we stayed since I am afraid that someone gonna steal the money in the safe(vault).

Do you feel content with your current work?

Yeah. I guess so.Not that far from where I live.I can go home daily and see my family.Been working here for a decade already.

What are your future ambitions?

As a parent my future ambitions is about my kids and their future.I want to raise them to be a strong person and be a goal oriented, of course be a God fearing too.I want them to have a good future.I don't want them to experience the hard life I've been through before.

Do you think a career is more important than family or the other way round?

Hmmm.Family is important that's why I have work hard for them.Make sense right?

What is the most annoying thing or person around you?

Annoying thing maybe when someone is not listening to me while I am talking just like what my husband usually do.I am get used it.

Would you prefer the fulfillment/self-satisfaction or the monetary benefits while choosing a job?

Self-satisfaction if I can support the needs of my family so its monetary benefits too.Why not? I fell satisfied when I had a lot of customers and sales at work.

Do you think education is important independently or is it only valuable in concern of a career?

Education is important but for me having a degree can't guarantee you to have a good job.I guess being madiskarte sa life is important.

What did you want to be as a child? How do you see that profession now?

Honestly I don't remember what I want when I was a child.This time I am not into what my passion is.As long as I am earning good and legal money so I can provide for my family.

Do you prefer a salary based job or commissioned one?

I prefer salary based since the time I started working here at the computer shop I was paid 10 percent of my sales.So even if I work 10 hours a day and I only had 500 pesos sales then I only got 50 pesos.Not good.I was the one who suggest my boss/cousin before when I am not yet working at the computer shop to have that commissioned type of salary.

How do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

I think I am still working here at the computer around that time since 5 years from now my youngest is still 7 years old.LOL I am too old I am almost 40 5 years from now.

Would you let (support) your partner take bold career decisions in life or not?

If it will be for the good of our family then why not.Or if it can help him achieve his goal in life then I will support him all the way.

Ending thoughts

If I will be given a chance in my older years I want to be an entreprenour or maybe work from home job so I can spend more time with my family especially with my kids.I honestly feel guilty that I am not always around to take care of my son but nothing I can do this time as I am the bread winner of the family.
