People love routines. Getting used to them are difficult. And i see that most of those who stay in something they dislike, whether its work, relationship, friendship... fear to break the schedule thay had worked so hard on. The unknown is scary for them.
Yes 100% agree, that's why it was also so painful for me to want to change and not accept what the people around me expected me to do! We always need to challenge and question our situations and relationships! ❤🔥
> And i see that most of those who stay in something they dislike, whether its work, relationship, friendship... fear to break the schedule thay had worked so hard on. The unknown is scary for them. How old are you? Youngsters tend to belive that it's the unknown that scares people. In reality, the older you're the better you see there's hardly anything unknown in the society and regardless of your job you'll be dealing with exactly the same issues of bureaucracy, institutional and governmental restrictions, indifference, and deliberately slow progression (emphasis on the deliberately and slow). Over and over again. When you're in your 20s everything seems to be doable as long as you put enough time and effort to re-group. Later on, when you're approaching 40, you realise that whilst you can still put x10 of the effort of a typical graduate, simply because of your established life routines and acquired skills, it's the time you're not willing to trade for another flavour of societal and corporate issues. Your time becomes more precious to you than a potential gain from your career change, because, well, it's still career and nothing else. And most of the time for most of the people there's no career in the first place, because of the nature of their labour. I'm saying it as a professional earning within the range of top 1% of the UK income tax payers. Even I couldn't care less about my corporate career. I like my craft, and I like earning money with it, but the only thing I really care about is the things I do on my terms, outside my working hours for an employer.
Congratulations on your move! I don't intend to be harsh but your spiel at the end was one of privilege and the innocence of youth. The privilege of having a supportive family and financial support and the freedom to take a paycut and risk of failure without having a family/children to support or crippling debts or huge racial discrimination. It kind of sounded like "Oh these poor dumb people with their sad little lives...glad I don't have to live like them." I know that is not what you meant, but that is the impression it can give.
Hey, thank you so much for this comment! This is why I love an online community because we can discuss and debate these issues. I 100% agree with you that it can come off as tone-deaf and I accept and apologise if it can come across that way. I acknowledge all the privileges I have as a young person with no family, mortgage, or children holding me back therefore it is definitely easier for me to make a move (though at this point I still have not seek out financial support from my parents.) I recognise many people are trapped in this unhappy cycle of responsibilities and I have so much empathy for them, that's why I wanted to say that piece at the end and ask people to reach for happiness. I will say that we can always find excuses why to not chase happiness or fulfilment. Obviously, it's not for everyone, but it is because I feel that pain so much. Anyhow, I appreciate you writing this comment, it made me think a lot and thank you for watching! 😇
Yep that's the impression I also got from this video. When you get older Glory you will understand. Only time can tell you this. Also 4 months at a job is nothing. if you are under 25, everything you are doing is not quite thought out. Just a heads up.
@@defaultmysq yeah if youre an entry level employee with no real world experience your input isn't earned yet for important tasks and you have to pay your dues to get to do things which are more fulfilling It seems like social media has convinced these young kids that they're supposed to find their passion at 21 and that work is supposed to be as fun as their favourite hobby
Love all these comments! I totally recognise that I have so much to learn and appreciate the time you've taken out of your day to write me these comments ☺ We're just all on this life journey trying to learn and i definitely have a long way to go!
Hi Glory, I love your content and I would also hope to study architecture in the future! I am a year 10 (F.4) student in HK right now. I am keen in studying architecture but I am not talented in arts at all. Is there any chance I could get into universities in the UK if I will take up arts outside school this summer holiday?
Yes, I believe it is all about setting up your portfolio to the best you can! You can also look into the University of Bath if you are not as interested in visual arts. If you are interested you can also check out my Ebook: www.glorykukarchitecture.com/product-page/a-guide-for-applying-to-architecture Might help! 😊
Hi Glory! I’d love to know if you’re working at a larger firm or a smaller firm?, as I’ve seen a lot of people have great experiences at their part 1 jobs. Sometimes I get the vibe that you’re saying that this is the case for every architecture firm and I really hope that’s not true!! Do you think that there is a chance that your experience could’ve been better at a different/ smaller firm? I get that you can’t share the name of the firm but I think it would be rlly helpful to share why you chose this firm to work at when you were looking for jobs (is there anything to look out for when choosing?), and why you’re not trying out architecture at a different firm? This is nothing bad directed to you or anything it’s purely just from a scared architecture student who is really passionate about architecture - I’d love to be in a more friendly firm that’s helpful to my growth! I really hope this isn’t the case for every firm lol…
This was a large firm, and no I would never say it's the case for every firm!! (I hope and am sure I never said that to represent other firms 🙈) But yes I think maybe it could be different in a smaller firm (a lot of my friends enjoyed their part 1s) but I think I just decided archi wasn't different to me. In regards to your questions you can watchmy other videos of: Why I'm quitting: ruclips.net/video/eQvEsYv3P64/видео.html Why I chose this job: ruclips.net/video/6F-IDo2MG3Q/видео.html
