Surprises comes in one after the other

Recently there were too many surprises, not too sure if it is a good idea. I started planning my path in life for the next few years quite sometime back. Since I started my part time degree in mechanical engineering I thought of getting a job related to my area of studies so that I can apply what I have learn in class during my work. Sad to say people have not been giving me chance all the while.

It was only recently then they realise that they need to start training people for the respective role. They approach me offering me only one option and it's like there is no other choice for you to choose. They stress me to take up the offer when I told them that we talk about the issue after I complete my 1st year in my degree.

My target is to start now as time is running out and I only have 4 year to learn whatever I can after which I must be independent to make some decision. Another 6 year to get into management level, final target position is to be a director if I can make it.

The chance is here now but then there are alot of obstacles which I will need to overcome, if i were to accept the offer. Chances don't come everytime and some people tell me to look at it in the positive way as it might be a good chance for me to learn something. Some friends have told me not to be a coward by avoiding the offer when there are some obstacles & office politics that I need to face.

This is not a simple case where alot of outsiders will think just accept 1st if you don't like then resign after that. The problem now is once you have step in there is no return for me. I have to consider it carefully before making any decision.

Next surprise is my results, I have never expect that I will pass my maths exam last semester but today I very please because I have pass both modules even when I got just a pass only because during last semester I have been spending time looking through machinery auctions and sourcing for equipment all around the world. It was after 2 year of army that I have not touch my books. Last but not least I cannot be so ungrateful as 1 of my classmates have also help me during the study period for the final exam. She has been monitoring my progress of studies & we have help each other closely together with a group of classmates. If not for their support I don't think I will be able to pass this exam. Thanks to those who have help me especially her.
