The Best Option Is the One that Gives You the Most Options
As hard as it is to take.
So, two things have happened to me recently.
It’s been a year since I boldly decided to leave my former employer in Hong Kong and divert to Singapore.
Since then, I haven’t tried to make much happen. Instead, I’ve taken the time to concentrate on reforming my inner world.
Still, I’ve kept my ear close to the ground on the off chance a job should avail itself.
Not because I necessarily want to continue with my aviation career (and I certainly intended to take time off) but because I want to keep my options open.
I didn’t/don’t want to limit myself.
I’ve also been cognisant that the last two years of my career during covid heavily tainted my whole experience. It was fundamentally a different job from the one I had initially fallen in love with.
Finally, there’s the small matter of money. It turns out there is a debt to be paid when taking an existential midlife gap year. Singapore also happens to be one very expensive lady to please!
So, while I was unsure about any potential return to the air, I sent out my CV whenever an opportunity made itself known. Just to see if any fish took the bait.
