Big Choice To Make

(This is a follow-up post to my still ongoing dilemma regarding my status as Medical Officer 1 in a nearby hospital.)

By golly! It's already April and I still don't have a word regarding my contract with the public hospital where I currently work in. I have nothing against my colleagues there, the other paramedical personnel and even the security who always greet us cheerily day in, day out. But I wonder if this is really meant for me. I swear there were mornings when I'm so lazy to go work, I feel like I'm being forced to do it as security blanket or just to keep myself busy (but actually not enjoying it).

Again and again, I continuously search for job opportunities over the internet. Thankfully, I found one yesterday. I submitted my resume by email and prayed that the employers will call me. My prayers were answered - I was invited for interview. During the interview, I realised that it was the job opportunity I was praying for a long time - in an out-patient setting, I am a Family Physician and an Occupational Physician as well. The site of the clinic is along a national road, surrounded by different companies and also various subdivisions. The rate is 60-40 professional fee (PF) rate. Fair enough, right? I also have weekends off. The clinic manager already gave me my clinic schedules. Now, my problem is how to tell this to my parents, since they think that working in a hospital is the best job for me and for me to gain experience as well. I'm going to break some people's hearts again.

I don't know what I've gotten myself into.

I've observed that I change jobs every month and this is going to be the 3rd month of doing it. Hopefully, this will be the job that will make me stay for good. Hmm.. I think I've said that before.
